Donner MEDO Bluetooth MIDI Controller, Portable Groovebox | Chord, Sample, Lead, Bass, Drum | Built-in Looper and Synth | iOS, Mac, Windows, Android | Silicone Sleeve, Donner Play & MEDO SYNTH App

Bought it for a friend and he’s having fun with it. Fairly intuitive interface makes it a blast. The software is cool as it lets you load samples and switch the sound sets for more variety. Not a device for making pro recordings but a lot of fun and it lets one build multi track compositions fast.

The medo is built pretty well with a built in mate case and the size is great. The sound quality coming from the speaker isn't great but it does get the job done. 99 dollars gets you a pretty powerful device and it works as intended

I like the drum

I got this for my 6 year old and he has a lot of fun with it. I love it too, there are many sounds and it’s easy to use. Great starter synth and nice for travel. You could take it out in nature and just relax, make some cool beats.

I really wanted to love this little controller, but I don't. It's a cute little instrument, and for changing kits in the app and just making noise with those kits, it's a fun toy.It is NOT a MIDI device. Maybe if mapping instructions were included and you self-mapped.I wanted it for a sampler, but it's pretty low quality, and hard to edit your clips to get what you want.It is very touch friendly. A good toy. Not a good instrument.The documentation is useless, in my opinion. The app is hard to navigate and make sense of, in my opinion.But, should they market this as a musical TOY and not a tool, I think it would be marvelous. It's a fine toy. It's just fairly useless in my studio.

Whiel the Android companion app is a bit janky, the device itself is super fun. You can lay down a silly beat in no time. It feels well-constructed, not cheap. The built-in speaker isn't going to satisfy audiophiles, but it is loud and bass-y enough for sitting on the couch noodling around.I have a copetitor's device. You know the one I'm talking about. Art*** Orb***. This Medo is a serious upgrade to even the second version of that other device.So if you have the other device and feel it is lacking.... Try this one.

while I do have some gripes about this device, I think this is a great 1st generation product. it reminds me of a combination of the Orba2 crossed with the viral tic-tac-toe game. the pads are a bit too sensitive to my liking but I do love that you can actually sample directly on the Medo instead of how on the Orba you had to use the app. the app updates have been constant and I do hope Donner continues to improve and provide updates to the app, the sample library, and Medo. 5 stars!!

A superb piece of electronic hardware built by a product team that has no desire to build a musical device or controller. It checks off so many useful feature boxes, but it's all mixed up in a mush that has no musical use.The device just absolutely blasts all types of MIDI noise through the channels and there are no ways to turn all of the accelerometer gimmicks off to use it as a real MIDI controller to control any DAWs or VSTs. If you don't clamp it down with a vice and it moves it any way, it MIDI maps any motion to changing presets in plugins 🤯. In fact, any motion it detects sends MIDI CC 02, MIDI CC 113, and a mod wheel move.Their customer support team is just an LLM programmed to do one thing and has no idea what the product even is.It's a great piece of engineered hardware but the product team has no idea what the device's purpose should be.
