What's New in CoVariant

1.2.3

July 24, 2023

This version fixes various issues when the AU's are running under Logic Pro: CoVariantAU and TriggerAU: could stop responding when Logic is looping. ClockAU: could be 8ms out of sync with Logic's audio and could stop responding when Logic is looping. PolyphonyAU: would fail validation. Also fixes the broken hyperlinks in the documentation index.

Works a treat with modern MOTU Interfaces

This has been indispensable to ensure that my modular stays synced with things on my iPad!

Drives my Expert Sleepers ES-8 perfectly.

i use Expert Sleepers ES-8 audio interface to send CV and gate to my modules via CoVariant and AUM. Absolutely seamless operation.

Must have if you use your iPad with modular synths!

Hello audio clock sync!
