IK Multimedia TONEX

This is always the risk with some of these companies, where you never know if something will work down the line.

Well, I already mailed their support.
And fwiw, the app isn't even working with Android 13 anymore, there's a complaint of someone on Thomann's review pages, coming from February 2025. But apparently they're offering an APK somewhere on their own site.

Anyhow, all that smells quite fishy. In addition, I just read that commands apparently are triggered on switch release. No idea how anyone would come up with things that stupid (the XSonic Airstep does it the same - possibly the same Chinese garbage under the hood), but all of this is really putting me off already.

I could as well go with a Luminite, but that's overkill for what I want.

Maybe I should really just get a GT-1000 Core. Would not need any additional MIDI stuff because of its super capable switching options (CurNum for the rescue). And as much as I hate their editing business, I'm quite familiar with it by now.
Not exactly in a hurry anyway, but I could certainly do with a small setup for quite some occasions.

That is one thing I didn't like about the M-Vave Chocolate Plus. You had to download the apk, and then load it from 'non official sources' or whatever it is called. Once you do get it working there is lots of typos, misspellings, etc...

It works pretty well, but definitely some BS to deal with it.
