I wasn't up to date with Indamixx news and... what a surprise and nice cool
product that Transmission 5!
Is it an iPad/Galaxy tab alike tablet? Which one is it?
Really appealing. I take mental note of that for anyone I can give a piece
of advice.

Is just that being in the Musix team, well, I would like to make this work
:). Anyway, this Viliv just ended up in my hands, and now that I have it for
testing I would like to make something useful of it for portable music.

I didn't notice that this Viliv had a less CPU than Samsung, but I think is
robust, at least is quite heavy. Besides this hardware problems, I've been
able to use it as a looper, multiFX and recording tool at the same time.
Trying to be like a one-man-band doing drums with Hydrogen or with my hands,
bass with FX or the guitar itself, jamming along and things like that.

Would love any contact or extended information that can guide me just a
little. Been trying many things and also googling for more but no luck.
