Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love the music apps on my iPod Touch, so jumped at the chance to be able to use a keyboard with one. The Akai synthstation is perfect for when you spontaneously want to play around and not boot up a computer and plug in a controller and audio interface. It reminds me of the grab and go convenience of a casio. A couple of caveats:
1) The Akai Synthstation app has some great sounds but no real time programming. I like the arpegiator but you are relegated to step programming.
2) They scrimp on the cables so you will probably want to order a mini USB cable. Not a big deal, but even my cheapo Korg controller came with a cable.
What really expanded my enjoyment of this device was the NanoStudio app that was recently updated with synthstation support and breathed new life into this device. It is a relatively pricey app but worth every penny. It has four synths and 2 drum sets and imports samples and you can program in real time or step time.
I hope other app developers follow suit, but I am wondering if the iPad is distracting them from developing for this device. Curious to hear other opinions on this.
Overall I consider this $99 well spent!
