Donner Play

The MeDo is a wonderful little device to interface with, but this app just comes short of the customizability that I feel is necessary. The inability to edit MIDI, create your own drum kits, or do any of the synth editing on the phone (despite there being a button implying a fictional app exists) make it hard to get anywhere with precision, or without often needing to start from scratch from a single note slip in performance. The bugs completely erasing my tracks or disabling me from upload make things even more frustrating to deal with. It makes me wonder how much I can do on the MeDo at a time while connected to the app, as the device doesn’t have these issues on its own. It unfortunately makes what would be a tool innovative in terms of baseline ease of use, its portability, and range (particularly given what you can do with its limited 5 channels) better off as a simple MIDI controller for other programs. I find it a shame Donner seems to have neglected these, with the MeDo synth PC app taking a bit to track down, since they’ve removed it from the website. The MeDo itself is such a fun groovebox, and I think with a bit more love from Donner, it could be leagues better. It’s just a matter of opening more doors for its users on PC and phone.

I spent $15 for a mini usb cable to connect to app. Doesn’t recognize. No support . I was wanting some help with the midi controller but no documentation for that either. Terrible company . Will take back the drums .

I bought one of the practice guitars and was going to set this app up to use it, but I couldn’t even select the guitar in the app. Hopefully they’ll fix that cause the guitar is awesome.
