Different ways of assigning screen and MIDI keyboards to the oscillators provide very advanced features to control the sound.

Boggling but special

The level of technicality with this app is intimidating. But the sounds it can reduce are extraordinary. Trade off. It would be great if there was a fast and easy way to export files from this to the new lite version.

User Interface Hell

Sounds great but the interface is very subjective. Numeric parameters float in mid air with no textual titles, dials with no indication what they do, modal dialogue boxes that require you to dive in and out of multiple times to do the simplest of things. Buttons that don’t have borders and look like plain text. All of which can be found in the manual I am sure. But absolutely nothing to aid the beginner otherwise, from a ergonomic point of view it’s a complete mess. I learned the Model 15 in a couple of days, 2 months after purchasing this I’m still baffled by parts of it.
