What's New in Beat

1.4.2

September 5, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. v1.4.2 ▸ fixed bug where note repeat would get stuck with some MIDI controllers ▸ fixed bug when IAA sync and Ableton Link are used together (Link wins) ▸ fixed bug when MIDI clock sync and Ableton Link are used together (Link wins) ▸ fixed bug with Audiobus state saving ▸ fixed bug with importing songs from iTunes Library ▸ the velocity of a note repeat became possible ▸ fixed bug with velocity sensitivity through IAA MIDI ▸ please mind the Groove slider: Beat-Machine is capable of playing perfectly in time, but it has a feature where you can adjust the timing from "tight" to "loose". make sure that it is set at a reasonable setting before you conclude that the app can't play in time (it can) v1.4 ▸ disk streaming sample player (much faster loading times, samples do not use any RAM) ▸ improved MIDI output, bug fixes (MIDI responds on all channels) ▸ mute and solo buttons added to mixer ▸ Ableton Link ▸ IAA Transport ▸ Note repeat ▸ Transport in the toolbar ▸ new color themes ▸ IAP's become standard gear ▸ overall faster performance

Stupid broken

So it wants to access mikes and you get feedback. What the @#$& ever. Then you restart the app and get no sound at all. This app is a hoax.

Response from developer

iOS 16 is causing this bug - change the sample rate in settings to get sound back until I get a fix out

Everything you need.

Have to use the rest to know this is the best.

Cannot upload sample

Any audio software that you cannot upload custom samples tois useless for anything but a play toy.
