SoundMondo needs work.

I agree it needs work, but I was curious how well it was working for me since I haven't used it in a while.

MacOS/Chrome worked with hiccups. Other than user error (starting with MIDI DIN mode and not USB mode) the real hiccup had to do with the starting Performance. It seems my user Performances - even when having no edit flag - cannot be overwritten. Therefore, I have to first initialize to say "Init Normal (AWM2)" first before sync'ing. Then I was able to get the "SOLO CHORDS" Performance to bulk dump from Soundmondo to my keyboard.

iOS worked without a hitch. A much better experienced. I touch the "ANALOG STACK" Performance on Soundmondo and boom - it bulk sends the Performance to my keyboard. Faster, more direct, no Sync, AND it doesn't matter if I have my user Performance recalled first or not.

The infrastructure is there with a few wobbly steps. And I think it certainly be better. However, there were times where iOS, for example, just flat out couldn't work. And now iOS seems OK.

I would expect Windows works as well as MacOS - with the caveat of driver instance numbers that I'm not aware has been fixed or not yet.

There's a way to get it to work for the willing. Although I think you'd add security settings to the mix, my improvements to usability would be:

1) Make javascript tolerant of the Windows driver presenting as "#-" instances before the device name.
2) Model the UI for the web closer to the iOS experience (allowing to bulk transfer Performances from Soundmondo to your keyboard without pressing Sync and without going to a strange landing page with "save" and "cancel" as the options - even BM went on record saying this was strange and led to lots of people unknowingly creating duplicates).
3) Related to #2 (make the web more like iOS) - remove whatever it is that restricts sending a Performance to your keyboard when you have a user Performance recalled. Or maybe it's just certain settings in that Performance that cause this. iOS is fine - so make those experiences match

Icing on the cake would be to do a better job of handling error conditions - detecting when conditions are not met and informing the user of what to do. However those 3 above, for me, would improve Soundmondo tremendously.

For now I generally use iOS - although there was a time when I didn't have an iOS device and didn't want to be forced to buy one just to make Soundmondo work better. I ended up getting an iPad for something else and Soundmondo came along for the ride.

I wanted to elaborate that Soundmondo is functional and could be improved.

the simplest quick fix would be getting rid of login to browse and download/install sounds.
