Built like a brick. Poor app integration.
Positive Grid
The Positive Grid Control X is a piece of hardware that truly excels. It’s built like a tank, solid, competent, and exactly what you want beneath your expensive shoes. The issue? It's tethered to an app and software that feel like they were programmed by a summer intern who hasn't fixed a bug since 2017. You get this high, quality, reliable controller for accessing presets and effects, but accessing its potential is often an unnecessary digital scavenger hunt. The hardware deserves an award; the software deserves a sternly worded email. If you're prepared to accept the occasional digital tantrum from the app, you gain a powerful, physical command over your tone.
