  1. This is crowdfunded vaporware i’d advise against ordering. I preordered, received the device, but IK still has not made the software available which pretty much says it all. I don’t think IK has produced anything good since the iRig Mixer some years back and all their apps are bloated, expensive and don’t rate well compared to Korg, etc, apps. At this point i wish i had not given them the measly $25 as their support as usual has little to no info about when the software will be available and they currently have dead links to it at the webpage so don’t be deceived into thinking this was released as without the software you get two plastic bits for $25 that are useless. Also, i was charged in january for this and it only shipped this past week.
