Really great!

I was looking for a piece of hardware that would emulate a Hammond B3 when attached to my Kurzweil. Then it occurred to me that someone has figured this out already in an app. Well thank goodness for Yonac. Since I found it, Galileo has consistently outstripped my expectations. If you don’t want to carry a Leslie cabinet and a full size B3, this is your answer.

Keys still get stuck in 3.0
     
by Kokamo Jo · February 16, 2018

Galileo 3.0 has one major issue that previous versions had, and that is keys get stuck in the ‘on’ position. We’ve tested several keyboards by M-Audio and Alesis, but the problem persists, which unfortunately makes Galileo too unreliable to use in a live situation. I’ve check enough posts online to see that this problem is not an isolated case, many keyboard players have experienced the same problem.

Outstanding.

by Tommyapplesauce · October 7, 2020

The other apps work with midi but this and gallileo 2 won’t....it recognizes the midi as input in the settings but nothing plays...even when used with oher daws or through aum it plays through the virtual keyboard but not the external midi controller

Something is terribly wrong!
     
by charleselv · January 14, 2019

Hello and to whom it may concern, I have the 64g iPad Air 2, and I have the Galileo 1 app installed along with Beatmaker 2 and others. The problem I'm having is that when I play the Beatmaker 2 app the Drawbars in Galileo app move with the rhythm and beat of Beatmaker 2 app thus changing the sound of the organ with every rhythm or beat. Can you fix this issue in the Galileo 1 app please. Thank you for your time and help with this matter.

Nice in all regards, and more!

Top notch realistic ergonomic aesthetic layout, features, and sound, plus a great source for a rare set of guitar effects like leslie and tube preamp!
