Lemur is back – as an iPad app

App Store – Lemur is back, I knew it had to come, it comes fairly late – after touchOSC and MIDItouch it might be hard since it’s 40€ which is really a lot. I tried a Lemur in 2006 and it was reviewed in Synthesizer-Magazin #2, the second issue ever made but had to sell it to pay my bills to move to another „yet cheaper“ house.
