"Compatible apps instantly work with this great little widget. The time needed to get it connected is very reasonable and thanks to its MIDI thru port, virtual instruments, touchscreen controllers and real hardware can now join together. Furthermore, the interface is technically well thought-out and solidly finished. A real plus is SampleTank FREE which gets you started right away. In brief: Thumbs up for this innovative solution which establishes iPhone and iPad as studio production tools.

Read here some quotes from the original review in German:
"Hardware-MIDi aus einem Guss: Vorteile: Kompatible Apps arbeiten auf Anhieb mit dem Knirps zusammen. der Aufwand der Verkabelung ist überschaubar und dank Thru-Port finden virtuelle Klangerzeuger, Touchscreen-Controller und reale Hardware sinnvoll zusammen. Zudem wirkt das Interface technisch durchdacht und grundsätzlich solide verarbeitet. Ein großes plus dürfte der SampleTank FREE sein, mit dem man unverzüglich starten kann. Kurz: Daumen hoch für diese innovative Lösung, die iPhone oder iPad fest als Produktionswerkzeug im Studio verankert."
