KB-1
This device is very much appreciated for I’m a Digital Performer user and this does many things that simplify my workflow. The fact that it is MPE enabled unlocks a whole bunch of shortcuts. The “Roli” slide action is also cool.
United StatesMinor root chord from a major scale?
I’m not a music-theory expert but why does KB-1 give you a minor 1 chord when you specify a major key? The scales are totally whack-a -doo. So frustrating! Otherwise this would be a 5-star app! Please fix this!
United StatesNice
basically the title, great app I love it
United StatesThis. Thing. Rocks.
I was looking for an mpe controller that I could use with my Mac on the road. This thing is perfect.

United StatesScales Incorrectly Labeled
Please, please fix the app so the scale matches the label. This would seem to be a crucial function for a keyboard app. When choosing a scale now the scale presented is not the chosen scale- the label doesn’t match the scale. Other than that, the app works well.
United StatesGreat!?! But….
This app is perfect but I wish you could customize your layouts a bit more. Mainly like colors. Especially on the drum pads. If I could do like green kicks and purple snares and yellow hats etc. this app would be 5 stars. Cmon Kai, please?!? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d appreciate that feature. Hahah.
