    I just got a warning from Xequence about excessive CPU usage in the latest ios. Does this extend to ipados as well?

    Yes... iPadOS is iOS, just with a cooler name. But thanks for the heads up, I have to remember now that I always have to say "iOS / iPadOS" thanks to Apple's marketing department 😁

    thanks :smiley:

    I’m on version 13.1.2 - is that one safe?

    I'm not completely sure, the bug is very obscure but it seems to have been introduced in 13.2... so you might be safe.

    Ok bug confirmed here...latest IOS whatever...Seems to affect only iPad pro 11" at he moment.
    X2 fades to a black screen. Seems to work but it can't get back on screen.
    I wonder if that might be related to the prevent force lock ?...I'm going to deactivate this as I have no sleep mode set in my global settings...

    Here's the Changelog for the upcoming 2.2.5 update, which contains a few important fixes and some nice improvements. I would have uploaded it now, but unfortunately Apple has broken Xcode for the second time in a few days and another 7 gigabyte download is required to get the fixed Xcode version, so it might be after the weekend!

    Changelog:

    NEW:

    • BETTER TEMPO AND TIME SIGNATURE HANDLING: The "beat unit" can now be set manually in the tempo menu (this will also change the "felt" tempo of the song). For example, for 6/8 time, it can be set to "1/4 dotted" to provide the correct tempo. It is also taken into account for tempo received from Ableton Link peers, so it could be used to "process" that tempo (for example, halve or double it).

    • IMPROVED METRONOME and GRID HANDLING for compound metres.

    • NEW SWING ENGINE: The rhythm of the swing can now be set, giving rise to lots of creative swinging! Can be set independently per track (defaults to 8th notes) and is non-destructive as before.

    IMPROVEMENTS:

    • Arranger: Make "Controllers to own tracks" also work for clips without note data.
    • Ruler: The ruler will now show subdivisions (upper number of time signature) as dots.
    • Keyboard: Fixed and much more robust scrolling behaviour, both keyboards can be scrolled independently even while playing chords.
    • The tempo menu button will now show a "/2" symbol when the "1/2 speed" toggle (now with a cute snail icon!) is enabled.
    • The upper and lower number of the time signature can now be tapped to directly enter a value.
    • Various optimizations.

    FIXES:

    • Xequence projects (.xeqproj) can again be opened in Xequence via "Open In" / share sheets.
    • Keyboard: Prevent iOS "Copy/Paste" menu from popping up when playing chords in "Scroll" mode.
    • Prevent dragging loop region handles during recording.
    • Some modifications to the project weren't always registered and the "Save" button would still be greyed out. Fixed.

    Seems IOS 13.2.2 fixed the battery issue... :)

    It's not completely fixed, but better, yes... (an iOS internal error generated hundreds or thousands of debug messages per second (which wastes lots of CPU); this has been reduced to dozens or hundreds in 13.2.2. It's a start! ;))

    Thanks

  • gregsmithgregsmith

    Brilliant stuff @SevenSystems

  • SevenSystemsSevenSystems

    @Sergiu @gregsmith thanks! Just wanted to have another go at uploading the update; all relevant Apple systems are completely offline due to maintenance this time :D Well, maybe at least they're installing fixes...

  • Tones4ChristTones4Christ

    My favorite sequencer app! Period.
    Thanks Mr. Dev!

    Just an update on the progress: Apple apparently officially offered the official Xcode 11.2.1 release build today, which would enable me to finally push the update.

    However, after posting it, they apparently removed it again several times while I was downloading (see also: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/comments/dvk7nq/xcode_1121_now_available/).

    Another "funny" thing is that all direct download links for Xcode are "unofficial" and "reverse-engineered" by developers -- Apple do not offer official download links for Xcode.

    Yes, you heard that right. The only "official" way to download Xcode is via the App Store app on macOS. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, that is always stuck in "Waiting...".

    It is impossible to even begin to describe the mess that's going on at that company.

    (no rant! Just an insight for those interested :))

    (it also managed to open a wormhole and immediately download all 7.78 GB, I just don't know what it's "Waiting..." for ;))

    (it now changed to "Downloading...". The download speed has slowed dramatically though, because after having downloaded 7.78 GB in exactly 0 milliseconds, it's now been stuck at 4.29 GB for 5 minutes ;))

    Really, I'm not photoshopping this! This is Apple's "It just Works" software! :)

    Apple is totally clueless.

    Maybe all former admins and developers left and only a bunch of agile and clueless teams are remaining, desperately trying to find some documentation.

    :) Well, when the news broke that Jony Ive, who was essentially "Mr. Apple", left, you knew something's going on there ;)

    Good news though, it now seems to be actually downloading, i.e. the "GB" figure on the left is slowly increasing... who knows, it might even install!

    Still doing my best! Xcode managed to install and even works. Now App upload is stuck at "Communicating with Apple...". Will keep retrying! :)

    (5 minutes and counting)

  • SevenSystemsSevenSystems

    Appearently, Xcode has "lost" some kind of "private keys" for "certificates", and I should "contact the creator of the certificates" (myself) in order to get a copy of the keys... maybe I've left them in the car ;)

    Newest "clue" in macOS "it just works": It now displays all file icons on top of each other when viewing a folder :D

    (sorry, done with the ranting now!)

    Well not quite... we're still hitting obstacles ;)

    Especially for a trillion dollar company that should be able to afford ALL computing resources of the UNIVERSE!

    P.D.: HOLY COW! It's in review!!!!!111

    (just for anyone considering to start iOS app development: this was THREE STRAIGHT HOURS of pure, non-development related buerocracy and dealing with broken third party tools! So, three UNPAID, wasted hours! So, you might want to think again ;))

    It’s been a painful downhill trip for Apple. I really hope it stays afloat for mobile music sake.🙏

    ...or Android finally catches up! :p apparently it has had MIDI and lower-latency audio for a few releases now, but I can't say if it's stable or usable. BUT, after the recent frustrating Apple experience, I'm actually considering an experimental release of Xequence for Android. I don't know anything about Android MIDI, but it's certainly exciting and I doubt it can be more frustrating than Apple dev :)

    And this doesn't look too bad:

    https://github.com/google/oboe seems like a step in the right direction for audio apps...

  • mojozartmojozart

    Android dev is 10x or even more frustrating than iOS dev. Very little money is spent on Android apps, device capabilities are all over the map, and there is nothing like AudioBus or AU. Not to mention that BLE MIDI support and latency is flaky (or was the last time I was foolish enough to test it). I thought Android would catch up, but I think they've actually fallen farther behind.

  • SevenSystemsSevenSystems

    @mojozart thanks for the insight. I might give it a try anyway after the rest of my life is sorted ;) but yeah, I guess we're too much in a niche of a niche of a niche for any profit-oriented company to really bother (not saying that being profit-oriented is bad!).

    @blakkaz OK, I only need basic (but stable) MIDI input/output functionality though, so maybe that's overkill...

  • u0421793u0421793

    I wonder how far one could get with a tailor-built Xequence for Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, with the R Pi official touch screen, and a midi interface board and some way to guarantee that the programme will be paid for.

    No need for jokes! And the update is rather mundane. No extremely exciting stuff!

  • cronycrony

    @SevenSystems having an update that consolidate things, as I can now produce peacefully without 15 crash/seconds is creatively very exciting to me :)
