Thanks Everyone: v1.31.1 Quick Fixes for GarageBand & Logic, Including Freezing for Cubasis
Plus v1.13 MASSIVE UPGRADE!
AUv3 Engine Overhaul + Updated GarageBand Support:
• 425% more Memory Efficient in all Hosts. Run 4x as many!
• FOUR instances of KING OF VHS Synth and take up LESS Memory than one instance before.
• Totally rebuilt for GarageBand. Sessions feel solid!
• Zero memory creep on reloads. In fact, reloading a project now uses less memory than the original load.
** If GarageBand won't show KING OF VHS, in your device's "Settings" app under GarageBand, choose "Reset GarageBand" **
Other Host Improvements:
• Rock-solid when switching presets while receiving MIDI in Loopy Pro, GB, and others. No more preset switching crashes in Loopy Pro!
• Groove Rider loads faster and handles multiple loads without crashing. Older iPads may still see occasional hiccups, but crashes are dramatically reduced.
KING OF VHS Specific:
• LFOs and Tempo Sync'd controls update in realtime while changing host tempo (like in AUM and others)
• Standalone: Fixed crashes when attaching or removing Bluetooth headphones
• Removed AI generated Graphics. We're keeping it real and authentic!
• Added ability for Pitchbend to go to -48/+48 to better support Linnstrument
• Too many more updates to mention...
NOTE: More Improvements for Loopy Pro coming. If you need to reload a project w/ AudioKit apps, restart Loopy Pro each time to keep things stable.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! More updates to come...
