So happy it is back!

Question though. Is there any way to use this app to replay old recordings from Fiddlewax?

Cheers!

It’s Alive!

Glad to eee the app back in the store; missed it when it was away. Really useful for getting down ideas.

My wish list:
* save as AIFF
* load samples from Audioshare or Files
* iCloud Drive support between iPhone and iPad versions
* Support for auv3 apps

Thanks for bringing it back!

Great music app but doesn’t work with AIRPODS

It’s sold with all the chords right there for you but I wish that I could use my AirPods Pros with this app.

Response from developer

Firo4 is a realtime music creation app and the delay/latency from bluetooth means that beats will lag when inputing new rhythms/notes. The fastest AirPods (AirPods Pro) claim 144msec delay, which at a moderate 120bpm tempo is still more than a 1/4 beat out of sync. We'll keep looking for ways to get around the limitations of bluetooth, but for now, the lag from the bluetooth connection make them non-ideal for realtime instruments. Hopefully you can enjoy making music in Firo4 without AirPods until then (connected headphones work great)!
