New version 1.0.33
Old version 1.0.30
Release Notes Major changes. Midi CC Feature should nearly work in StandAlone mode and experimentally work in AUv3 mode. Mostly just issues with scaling in AUM and Garage Band. Replaced some of the GUI with native resolution widgets, the graphical overhaul is not complete, however. LOCK PARAM now visually disable parameters on synth as well as disabling touch events. Some features have been disabled until development is done, SAVE is disabled for the moment. So save locally in Garage Band, AUM and use the DAWs in-app preset saving, for now. On the second startup and on, the program will link your iTunes file management uploads with the CARTs, if you have more patches to upload. Implementing this in the AUv3 may not be possible, but we'll see. Stay tuned for light updates periodically.

New version 3.4.2
Old version 3.4.1
Release Notes New features: - Overhauled preset sharing: now sharing presets will share the actual preset file, which you can AirDrop or save to Files, etc. Preset uploading (and sharing of preset links) still available via an "Upload" action. - Revised AU view switching, and added an extra "reduced keyboard" view on iPhone in landscape. - Persist connection panels in AU views, per-AU instance (preserving scroll position & opened apps, for each instance). - Show AU Presets button on top bar whenever keyboard hidden (and in reduced keyboard mode). - Persist search text across app/audio unit lists. Fixes: - Adjusted rendering order to make sure upstream nodes are always rendered before downstream ones, which should in particular fix silent audio with presets that use MIDI sequencers. - Fixed a transport issue with some AUs (this fixes issues with Woodpressor AU, for instance). - Fixed some VoiceOver issues. - Fixed an issue where saved app state could be trashed when re-saving a preset without an app running (or where state saving fails for another reason). - Fixed an issue where reordering effects could result in audio units being disposed and re-instantiated, losing their state. - Fixed some latency compensation issues. - Fixed an issue where MIDI learn profiles weren't being restored properly for sources with non-alphanumeric characters in the name (d'oh). - Fix crashes when saving some control profiles.

Release Notes Thanks everyone! You are all AMAZING! +AUv3 is here. Use D1 as an AU Plugin in your favorite iOS Host! (GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus, BeatMaker 3, Cubasis, NanoStudio 2, more!) + After months of hard work. D1 has been completely rewritten. There may be some bugs. Please be patient with us. :) + Improved stability when running multiple instances (can run 5-6 instances in AUM on newer iPad Pros, 2-3 instances 1st Gen iPad Pros) ** IMPORTANT: Open update in Stand alone first to migrate your existing presets to AUv3 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!
