Release Notes Hey everyone, this is Matthew from the AudioKit team. Apologies, I made a mistake on the previous update, resulting in the new "Audiobus" bank disappearing for many of you. The sound designers worked really hard to make those presets for you. And, I wanted to get this fixed for you ASAP. This is completely my fault. On a positive note, many of you have been asking: AUv3 is a high priority for us. And, we hope to have it for you in the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience. :) This 1.0.2 update resets the new "Audiobus" bank. If you are still having trouble seeing the 3 new sound banks, try completely closing D1 and restarting. Then, they should appear for you. :) TIP: If you are using an older iPad and getting crackles on D1, go to "Settings", and raise the "Buffer" settings to 512 or above and/or choose "CPU efficient" In case you missed the big 1.0 update: Happy New Year! This update gives you over 200+ more presets! * 100 new presets by the Audiobus forum, Including new presets from Brice Beasley, Sander Roscoe Wolff, and more. Special thanks to Fruitbat and the Audiobus community for organizing this gift to you all. Credits for each preset in app. * Plus, a fantastic NEW BANK by JEC (James Edward Crosby) * Plus, a bonus bank of 100 presets from Preset by Vasil Ivanov (The Editor) - A sound designer for the M-Audio Venom synth, and others. There's more! + Filter Key-tracking knobs added to each layer's per-voice filter envelope (on the Layer panel) Default value is 100%. That will give you the same behavior as before, 100% perfect tracking. Value of 0% means no tracking at all: notes below middle C get progressively brighter, notes above middle C get progressively darker. COMING TO DIGITAL D1 IN 2019: + AUv3 Plugin functionality + Free Expansion Card with 300+ megabytes of new PCM samples! + MPE support + Video Tutorial/Instructions on Using D1 + More bug fixes and upgrades 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!
