Release Notes ••• Audio Unit v3 ••• (Attention: Please be aware that with this update already existing Inter-App Audio and Audiobus sessions won't work anymore!) We decided to drop native Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support and focus on what we think is the future for iOS. Thanks to AUv3 you now have a plugin interface that offers you the most features currently available. No longer switch between apps or rely on work-around solutions with extra steps and messy MIDI problems. Simply run Egoist within your favourite iOS DAW just like you would on desktop. Go wild running multiple instances, record parameter changes in real time and automatically save/restore Egoist's state within the host app. ••• iCloud Drive ••• Through iCloud, you'll be able to share your saved presets across multiple devices including your desktop computer.
