Camelot Pro for Android

While this app seems awesome for live performance, I’m using it in the studio as a AUv3 plugin rack for my Android DAW setup. It effectively lets me use my Mobile plugins as if they are ‘outboard synths’ that are recorded in to my laptop daws. This save my computer some CPU and forces me to “commit to audio” - a discipline modern midi composers often struggle with. The app is not exactly optimized for my workflow, but its still very helpful compared to alternatives. Perhaps my kind of usage will reach their attention and become another niche feature for studio musicians looking to quickly house and pick through their Mobile plugins for external Daw recording. If only the Mobile Pro 11” had a way to send 16 stereo channels out. Oh well, great app nonetheless.

I see that all the other reviews are at least a year old. I don’t think it’s fair to judge the current version based on these. I have been working with 2.01 for a couple of days and although there is a learning curve, it’s very easy to progress. The interface is very well thought out and easy to use. Other than one app which did not play well with Camelot, I’ve had no freezes or crashes. I’m using Camelot strictly as a software manager for plug-ins so I can’t speak to its response to hardware-based keyboards. Not giving it five stars at this point simply because I haven’t worked with it long enough to thoroughly wring it out. If you’ve been put off by earlier reviews about this app being buggy, I encourage you to give it another try. Right now it’s on sale.

I cannot find a way to automatically select the song tempo... right now you have to manually select the tempo for each song.

Thank you, waiting for the audio unit.

I was looking for an app that I could replace how I was using Ableton as a live keys rig to preset sounds for our keyboard player. From the description and videos looked promising but unfortunately it does not recognize most of virtual instruments I have on my Mobile Pro. I have tried to get a refund as I did find AUM to be a better fit. It’s probably useful for hardware synths if yo7 use one of their profiles but unless it can use more of the available instruments like the Kong modules or Sample Tank it won’t work for me.
