After trying it out, it didn't feel as smooth as I thought it would be, even after messing with the sensitivity settings. It does have a lot of modes and customization, but I just didn't feel pumped to go deeper into it. My issues:
- Having to reset my DAW and open the software EVERY TIME I wanted to change something (so you would go in kind of blindly into it).
- Interface didn't feel user friendly, even though it has lots and lots of presets, I'd rather have a nice presentation that made me feel good while customizing.
- Using it doesn't feel natural to me (maybe I needed more time and training, but I just didn't care for it because of the other aspects). Although they have put thought into this and there's some nice innovation here, it feels like it's in a beta state. I found myself just using this more as a piano, flat in the table, rather than trying it out in other different ways (-1 exploration points).
- Last but not least, you can't add a guitar strap to it unless you have some kind of string, which is awkward because I feel like this is aimed mainly at guitarists and other instrumentalists.
