Wonderful that they have added pattern selection via MIDI note! But maybe I'm missing something? In my view, the pattern should sit and wait until it receives a defined pattern-selection note. But it seems that you have to hit 'play', and then it just starts playing, pattern-selection note received or not! Once playing, you can of course select patterns as advertised, but I don't want this thing to play ANYTHING until I ask it to.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. I planned to use this to trigger external drums (more on the acoustic side) but find it nearly impossible to map the output. Yes: what the H is H? Why can't ALL the kits simply be mapped to a/the same sequential series of notes? At least that way it would be only half as difficult to remap them to external devices. It is so time consuming I don't bother anymore.

As for importing WAV, I would be happier if I could import a whole kit at once (again, a matter of time). That way I could avoid this external remapping just to get drum sounds I like, as I'm not that into electronic drums. Alternately I wish they provided an acoustic kit or three.

I bought for the excellent sequencer, random functions and the auto-fills - I'm very happy with that aspect. I just thought it would be more user-friendly.

Fantastic - by far my favored method of arpeggiating / sequencing is via a piano-roll interface, When NORA fell out of the market I waited patiently for someone to fill that role again. The ability to sculpt highly musical phrases with this much freedom cannot be matched by the standard grid approach.

As for responsive? I asked for live/trigger mode - I got live/trigger mode. This developer is fully engaged with the customer, and took the time to toss ideas back and forth with me via email - greatly appreciated! THAT'S how you do it :).

If anybody out there, like me, is a MIDI Modifier gourmand (trust me I've messed with a lot of them!), don't hesitate. Buy and enjoy this great product.

*Stellar*. The MIDI routing and management is rock solid and fully flexible. Some complex vsti GUI's do not open properly in other DAW's/environments, or my chain of devices may cause crashes or timing errors in them (many arpeggiators and step sequencers running simultaneously), but MUX never misses a beat. I can develop entire live performance pieces inside a MUX and then open it reliably in any DAW, and it is ready to go. One of my best investments. Thank you MU!!!!!.

Absolutely top notch - specifically for MIDI management. Route anything to anything. I've tried every live host on Mac out there that I can find - they ALL had issues. I am heavily into arpeggiators & step seq's. NORA and NUMEROLOGY both have complex GUI's involving tabs and resizeable pages. I did not find a single live host that could successfully present those to me until I tried MULAB (except MainStage - but MIDI routing virtually non-existent). Like they say, everything just works, no surprises except happy amazement. Completely intuituitive - you can go a long ways before you need to crack a manual. AND it comes with MIDI tools that are essential for complex routing, such as a MIDI monitor. With Ableton they won't even give you that until you buy the most expensive edition - they sell you a carpentry kit and then withhold the hammer. And speaking of step-seq's, the one in MULAB is a monster.

This dev has mad coding skills and deep insight on what is necessary, what should be simple, and how to make it rock solid. Making it available as a VST on MAC changes Everything - MULAB inside LIVE is better than sex. OK, well, better than coffee.
