A good interface that solves all of these problems at once really does a lot to merge music hardware with the software instruments and DAW capabilities on the iPad

Software was easy to find and install on win

Additionally, the device has excellent driver support and very minimal software to deal with, making it's integration into virtually any signal chain a breeze

Plus if you already have good software, it will compensate for the gaps in hardware if any

But NO "FREE SOFTWARE" WHATSOEVER

But I seriously object to paying for a product which is supposed to come with "free software" and then having the manufacturer pull a bait-and-switch on me

The reasons I gave it 4-stars was because it came with no useful free plugins or software (although once you register the box you get a free copy of Traction software

No noticeable lag with appropriate settings; software is pretty intuitive

While it takes some fiddling with the software to get a good balance between low latency and lack of crackling, it works as it should

The device seems to work as I intended it to, and time will tell if there are audio quality issues or other concerns I haven't thought of.

Maybe - as well as with any USB interface, which is to say “within limits”.I can live and play in time with a 10 mS round trip latency
