It is so refreshing to work with a clean and simple interface for kondo. It’s easy to install and setup, not to mention free & in english! can’t ask for more than that
It allows you to visually see what motions you have, and easily play them without having to remember which button/number goes with which motion. Just an excellent application!
Congratulations Lem.
You are the first to post an application based on my RCB3 Interface.
I know that other people have been using it but it’s nice to see someone using it to develop applications that benefit all of us.
Keep up the good job
