IT DOESN’T WORK FOR ME, I DON’T HAVE A CONTROLLER AND IT DOESN’T PLAY ANY SOUNDS AND NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT YOU NEED A CONTROLLER… THIS IS A PURE WASTE OF MONEY… BUY THE AKAI SYNTHSTATION BETTER AND CHEAPER AND IT DOES WHAT IT SAY IN SO MANY WAYS… THIS YAMAHA ARP AND DRUM PAD IS PURE CRAP… THEY DON’T SAY THAT YOU NEED A CONTROLLER FOR IT TO WORK… IT DOESN’T WORK ON THE IPAD 1… THEY NEED TO FIX IT ASAP.
