Installing

Download the latest version from the release page: https://github.com/katana-dev/android-katana-editor/releases

Extract the .apk file from the zip. Transfer this file to your Android and install it. For example by using a file manager app.

wikiHow has a guide to help with this step. http://www.wikihow.tech/Manually-Install-Android-Apps

Connecting

You will need a USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable. With that, connect your Android directly to the Katana's USB port.

Your phone will ask you, which app to open this USB device with. Select KatanaEditor and give it any required permissions when asked.

At first all settings may show up incorrect. This is a known issue with the current version. Try to move some knobs on your Katana as well as sliders on the app until the app syncs and accurately shows what your amp settings are.
