Note: modstep does not work with iPads prior iOS 8 anymore!

It’s only fair to say that modstep is a truly versatile app, and is also among the very few that still support the iPad 1. This latest update brings iOS10 compatibility and a lot more besides. Here’s what’s new:

• iOS 10 support
• “Autostart Plugins” allows you to decide whether you want to load AUv3 and IAA with the Session
• “Load last Session on Startup” allows you to decide whether you want to load the last Session on Startup or start with a new Session
• Preset support for AUv3 FX
• State-saving for AUv3 (except for bassalicious)
• new Templates for Ruismaker, Ruismaker FM, Korg Volca Kick, boom808, boom909, DM-2, bastl micro granny and FLUXFX (thanks to Tom Wies and Oscar South for the last two!)
• updated Templates for Roland Boutique synthesizers

Bugfixes

• fixed a bug that would cause mono AUx to play only on one side
• improved AUx loading
• improved IAA handling
• fixed a bug that prevented state-saving of AUx
• volume is enhanced
• fixed a bug that could cause notes that are outside of the scale to be recorded
• lots of additional bugfixes and improvements

Here’s what’s new …

A smaller update containing mainly bugfixes and a bunch of new Templates:

• Fixed an issue that could lead to IAA apps stopping playback after a while.
• Fixed a bug that would make it impossible to change the recording status after loading / creating a session.
• Fixed a bug that could lead to automations being deleted when recording.
• the ADSR Pickers on the Sampler & Synth can now be recorded and automated again.
• iOS 7 support is back (we recommend updating to iOS 9)
• IAA apps that are not currently loaded are shown with a grey icon again.
• Added the possibility to start & stop the selected clip via the clip button in the main menu bar. To access the quick access window to jump to different clips, a long tap is required.
• A track that is being soloed will not send a global note-off upon soloing anymore.
• Added new Templates for Korg Gadgets (thanks GoNeKrAzY!), Novation Circuit, Moog Model 15, Shoom and Korg Volca FM
