Yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't work for other controllers too.

Tried the iPad thing. I found the Korg apps all have crap sync and bad latency. Tried iPolysix, iElectribe, iMS-20, and Gadget.

On the other hand, Rebirth and Animoog both performed flawlessly.

What generation iPad do you have?

Yeah, Gadget was running fine on my iPad Air2, no issues with sync at all here.

Write.
Write.
Don't forget to write. Specially when you keep turning the wrong knob and change pattern by accident

Guilty!
I need to remember not to touch the big unlit knob.

I'm constantly grabbing the OSC knob instead of the parameter knob and vice versa

Spreading of write, sometimes it causes a slight hiccup in playback when you do this. I've found that if you press Write once, wait a second, then press it again, that this happens a lot less often compared to when you just quickly double tap the Write button.

Maybe it was posted already, but in solo mode (press part mute twice) you can select more than one pad to solo. This is pretty nice for breakdowns/buildups since it can be used to unmute more than one pad without having to resort to unmuting them all (shift + part mute button).

Hope this helps anyone!

Figured out my arpeggio problem: set a *very* low pattern length, like 3-4 notes. Much better than trying to write arps in step edit mode.

I also mix up osc/param knobs, and have lost work because of it.

^ I have the same

One tiny glimmer of light is when you turned the parameter knob you can still go back to your pattern without losing it as long as the pattern name is blinking. You have to be quick but not too quick depending on how much you've turned the knob.

Holding Shift + the back arrow while naming a pattern will delete the current letter. Easy for deleting bunch of characters at once.
