Release Notes Thanks Everyone! YOU'RE AWESOME – MORE UPDATES FOR YOU! • AUv3 now mixes down and freezes in Cubasis, NS2, GarageBand, and more! Plus, 1.4 Updates Include: • D1 has been re-engineered to allow AUv3 in iPadOS/iOS 13 This is still a new feature, we are working to improve it! • Inter-app Audio (IAA) has been improved! • Misc bug fixes & upgrades • AudioKit apps will keep improving. We're working hard to make them better for you! NOTES * D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth. * We've re-engineered and optimized it so you can run 2, 3 or more instances in one project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable. * AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances * AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard * There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode * We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3 * The app will just get better & better - stay tuned! Email bugs, music, & friendly notes to: hello@audiokitpro.com We're working hard to improve the app for you! Stay tuned!

This application is simply a container for the Audio Unit and also serves as the documentation for the AU. PhaseDelayArray is a bit of a strange effect. O.K, so, what is it? PhaseDelayArray has three effect units chained together in an interesting configuration, and one of these units is just a little bit twisted.

Release Notes 1.4. (fourth maintenance update) A. moveable modal boxes we have made the 'modal boxes' for the modulator, oscillator and saturator modules moveable now. the boxes will be ready to be moved freely inside the plugins effective area, if no internal control is hit. the positions are remembered for the current session only, as it would create problems while loading with different host apps due to different window sizes and handling. there can only be one modal box opened at same time for certain reasons, but the positions are individually remembered for each type of dialog while working with the plugin. the global zoom feature affects everything, not merely individual boxes. The move feature can be globally locked with the freeze button. the freeze button will be invoked or hidden by a long press gesture. to close a box, one must tap outside the visible area of the box. the double tap with 2 fingers will reset everything to default positions. B. zooming behavior the model selector (exposed via [ menu ] button) will not disappear anymore by tapping outside, to support zooming while it is open. The menu button must be tapped explicitly to close the menu. if you want to zoom into open modal boxes, you must ensure to pinch inside their areas to make not disappear these automatically. a tap outside will automatically hide any open modal box. this was a requested user feature and we won't change that again. C. improved contrast behavior modal boxes now also support the contrast feature with their own semi-transparent background. we also improved the entire contrast to get really more visual difference. it is done by just inverting the main color in relation to the background color. this should optimize usage with extreme lighting and give entirely more contrast. this also affects all the main labels. D: labels made bigger all the labels of the user interface were made 1 point larger for better readability. this is maximum as it already looks quite clumsy now. ^^ E: removed Bluetooth MIDI connectivity We decided to remove MIDI connectivity features from our releases completely. the reason is, that we always have to provide videos for the app store staff with each update release to demonstrate this iOS system feature with our distribution apps. we have not the time to endlessly capture videos of basic iOS system features, as these system functions are merely invoked by the app, not coded. it is not our code, nor do we even have influence to these mechanisms, so we do not see the logic in the demands of the app store review staff, notoriously asking for demonstrating sub features of our apps, that are in fact features of the OS. So Bluetooth MIDI cannot be established any longer with our distribution apps. it is also not a requirement for the operation of the audio units, b.t.w. F. audio improvements and extension delayed again some audio issues (like hot signals, loudness adjusting, additional comb effects) will come with the next update, as far there is even any interest for that.
