Release Notes Thank you! We are CONSTANTLY upgrading Digital D1: + NEW CPU Efficient Mode: Saves up to 50% CPU! Holy cow. The toggle is in the "Settings" pop-up above the keyboard. This mode is especially great on iPad 4. + Buffer now goes up to 1024 (use for older iPads if you're still having crackles). Have issues with crackles? Turn on CPU Efficient Mode, and raise the buffer. Then reboot your iPad. Open Digital D1 alone. Hopefully, it should sound much nicer for you. Thank you! We want D1 to work great for everyone. :) + We're making progress on AUv3 every day. It's on track to be working next month. This new CPU Mode is a result of that. And, we wanted to share it with you right away. We will be adding AUv3 to Digital D1, Synth One, and eventually FM Player. Thanks for your patience. We appreciate your support! + We've received all your ideas/bug emails and we're working on everything. Thanks for your patience. 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!
