Longing for the good ol’ days…
Longtime MOTU Ultalite Mk3 user back in the good ol’ days…. a stable fully functional CueMix & available hardware control knobs for all functions. Now using iPad Pro, I upgraded (so I thought) to Ultralite Mk5 & CueMix 5. This version of hardware is extremely dependent on CueMix for most functions. With such a strong dependency on software, it’s stability is critical. Most of the time CueMix will literally not recognize the hardware. When it does load, the functionality is bare bones. Very disappointed.

Was great when first updated, now it won’t stay connected
I have the latest version of the app and the Ultralite MK5 updated to the latest firmware. I LOVED the app when I first updated it but now it’s only staying connected for a while. Then, it won’t connect wirelessly. Not sure why it worked and then stopped, perhaps a WIFI issue. I’ll continue trying on different WiFi systems.

I never write reviews but…
This app is unusable. My iPad is connected directly to the motu mk5 via the provided usb c cable and yet CueMix 5 hardly ever connects and is completely unfit for purpose. I thought the reliability had been improved, as the last few days it had been connecting okay, however, today it simply WILL NOT connect to CueMix app and now I cannot adjust my mix making my whole session unusable as I cannot turn on muted tracks or adjust levels. I also have an Apollo Twin and the UAD console has never let me down. How can they release the CueMix app when it doesn’t 100% reliably connect to the interface? What a disaster of an app.

How do they keep messing this app up?
Every single time there is an update to the app and the ULMK5, it cause serious connection issues. It’s absolutely maddening. It takes repeated attempts of opening and closing the app, disconnecting and reconnecting the interface, or restarting the iPad, just to get it to recognize the hardware. For the love of all that is holy, either stop updating the app, or make sure it works before you set it free!

Updates always screw up connections
Every time there’s an update, it’s a pain in the butt to get reconnected.

Great update 2.0
Love the new remote control feature over the network. The app has always been working for me. The only criticism I have is that I would sometimes love to zoom out to get a better overview over the channels. And of course, MIDI mapping sliders to an external controller would be great on both this and the desktop version.

Almost there.
Running on a 2022 11” iPad Pro, CueMix 5 is largely functional, and I’m grateful that it exists as I’m using the Ultralite for mobile recording with just the iPad and Logic Pro. There are, however, two things that are a fairly annoying.
1. I almost always need to close and re-open the app multiple times each time I run CueMix, otherwise I just get the ‘Waiting for device to connect. Check power and cables…’ message forever.
2. I really wish that the iOS version had the ability to save and load configuration files. As it is now, I need to connect the device to my Mac before and after a session to do this.

Terrible connection
Hit and miss connection via usb c on iPad … Great app but totally unreliable … can’t see self using it live
Motu need to be held to account for allowing such an app issue to continue
