Yeah I was considering a Krome or something but this thing has me intrigued as all get out...
I guess for anyone that likes its sound, has an iPad and needs the hands on stuff it is really great, the synth side has no real limits, the new Jupiters seem to be over kill in some ways and still needy in others.
I can't really judge the non synth sounds as I am not into that. And it is not clear if the mapping to the draw bars is for any PCM synth sounds as opposed to the main synth engine accessed via the iPad. If they still have the latter un mapped that would be silly...
The instructions will tell us more, as the onboard screen seems to be doing basic stuff only...
Otherwise a very affordable way into the new VA synth with more live controls than the Jups... caveat they may have cut down some stuff and the effects are all global...
The Looper looks fun too
If you look at the pic of it in high res, there are synth mappings for *some* of the drawbars:

They are the ones I refer too. Roland has some complex products where they missed golden opertunities to map stuff, sometimes in fairness because other mappings allowed sequencing of movements, but still they seem to not quite go the full way of user friendliness... Until I read it in the instructions that they are controlling the actual SuperNatural synth engine, then I am left assuming it is there for all other PCM sounds to give basic GM style edits, since we know that the SN Synth and the SN Organ engines are controlled via an iPad. If your into iPads then you probably have little to worry about if you like the sound...
