Color: MIDI PAD
I made a whole ep with this controller connected to my iPad and beat maker 3.. The pads aren't responsive to a softer touch because you have to edit the curves... Put it at soft with a threshold of 10 and you have yourself a mini mpc at a fraction of the price.. The value is insane coming at 95 bucks.. The on board software is a plus.. No more needing a pc like my tempo pad and Bluetooth is stable with 0 input lag, great functionality and it's easy to use.. Just wish they would have thought about offering a case for it... I would like to travel with it and protect it during transportation. The option to remove and put batteries is a major plus for longevity. Great job avatar instruments!

I wanted a device with programmable knobs, sliders, AND buttons to interface with my Roland S-1. The drum pads were an afterthought, but I've quickly taken up fingerdrumming just for fun. The device feels solid, definitely not built like a toy. The menus are intuitive and easy to navigate. It's quick and simple to change a lot of settings at once, and it seems like the designers really thought it through. At this price point, that's refreshing. Clearly I'm really happy with this purchase. The only minor bit of feedback is that I wish there were more colors available for the drum pads and buttons. I took a risk based on one video review, but I think this is a good controller and I have no regerts! I'm actually fighting the urge to get the keyboard now...

Don't be like me and assume the Bluetooth doesn't work when it won't pair under your general settings, you have to pair the controller from within whatever app you are using (koala)

I’ll start off right away with that pressure sensitivity of the pads isn’t the best, but sit more than useable. Plus, at this price you can’t expect great velocity sensitivity. The pads are sturdy though…they don’t feel cheap when I press on them. I use Cubase, so that’s all I can really speak on… this integrated perfectly once I followed the setup instructions in the manual and put it into the Cubase preset mode. Everything works great. I would definitely recommend it if you’re just looking for something in the lower end of the price range if you’re just using it to travel with often, or just if you’re on a tight budget. It doesn’t come loaded with software like other brands, but again people…, price point. For me, that wasn’t an issue as I have many virtual instruments and my DAW of choice. The only downside I can think of is that that navigating the menu system is sometimes clunky. Like sometimes the “OK” button works as you’d think and other times when you think pressing OK would be the logical choice, you’re actually supposed to press one of the arrows. Just a small thing, but that’s it.

The media could not be loaded. 04/02/24 - while working on a beat the thing freezes and all buttons lit up. tried turning it off and on. that didn’t work. tried to reset. that didn’t work. took batteries out and replaced with new ones. that didn’t work. fun while it lasted, but purchase at your own risk. changed to 1 star. 03/29/24 - Like the title says, got this with the only purpose to use with Koala Sampler on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch connected to a magic keyboard. Reason I mention all of that is because this midi controller is a lot smaller than I thought, and I like it. It sits perfectly over the keyboard and under the display like it was meant to be. Once unboxed, I immediately threw in some double a’s – paired to the iPad… and started midi mapping to the functions I use most in koala. Paired the pads 4 banks, the play and record buttons, the two knobs closest to the pads for sample start/sample end… threw samples on everything single pad just to make sure everything I will be using the most works… and it does. No noticeable latency for me… no double taps… no troubles. So far so good. I’ll be sure to try to put it through its paces before my return date is up and I’ll report back… Pads aren’t bad… a little stuff/hard, but hoping they start feeling better after they break in a little… overall build is surprisingly good and on par with the name brands offerings at similar price range… for what I wanted/needed this is perfect. i'll try to remember to add pics when i have a chance. 3 stars so far.

The little controller feels really solid and looks like it's built well but the pads don't register half the time when you hit it even at half full or low level it's terrible. I bought it to use with koala sampler and it doesn't register right on Bluetooth at all. I'm sending this back because it just is a complete failure. Not only does it seem like there's latency but it doesn't even register the pad hit most of the time. I am using an Android Galaxy Note 20 ultra. So I'm using a high-end flagship phone and it doesn't work well. If Avatar is reading these reviews they should know they need to update that pad sensitivity and get that right then I may buy it again. I bought this on the 6th it's now the 14th and the seller still hasn't sent me my money back would not recommend buying this because you will want your money back and it will take a long time for you to get it.

So after a month of using the device the pads are much less stiff from use and honestly I find this to be one of my favourite midi controllers for iOS. You are not going to find another pad controller with this much value for the price. I see a few reviews saying they get double triggers and the pads are too stiff so that warrants a lower review I guess. Imo it’s five star quality , Avatar just needs to give us a firmware update with more sensitivity, the ability to use the cursor for midi and banks of faders like the knobs.
