Yes they did see bottom right corner, in the menu.
Yepp, there's a tip-jar in the settings and that's all cool
Yeah, I can't imagine trying to produce EDM in AUM, hence why I use Gadget and NS2. But for my live sound experiments, AUM is hard to beat. I simply use my fingers for automation.
@Poppadocrock :how did I not notice this? Thanks for pointing out the AUM tip jar. Duly tipped!
Thank you all for your support!
I have no plans on going the subscription or subscribe-for-updates a la Loopy, but I do plan on IAPs for additional big features such as MIDI Clock Receive, DAW style editable audio tracks, Automation, Customizable performance screen, etc.
The Tip Jar was a first test of the IAP implementation, and it seems to work as expected. Big thanks to every one who has tipped!
@j_liljedahl
Thanks for speaking about the road plan
But get back to the grind, cause I got money waiting for all those iap plans
And yet again thanks for a damn kick arse app !!
IAP is, in my opinion, the best pricing strategy, at least for the end user. You pay once for what you really want. The "a la Loopy" strategy is probably more fair for the dev in term of incomes and planification but it can be very frustrating for the user. An exemple : I am still waiting for Beatsurfing's AU promised compatibility but so far, nothing can prove it will ever happen, even if you pay (in the future) for the upgrade subscription...
You can switch between connected audio interfaces in the iOS Control Center or on AUMs Settings menu.

Oh, that's good to hear
With the 11" M1 iPadPro with iPadOS15.5 I can not use an USB-Audio interface while my iPad is connected to my TV...
I can however select my AirPods (or any BT Speaker) as the output when HDMI hooked to the TV via the control center but not any device connected to the iPad via USB...
But still, support for multiple devices doing the same thing (Audio Input & Output) a system-wide control panel is the way to go.
I might want to use my iRig Mic HD to record some sounds while recording the audio from my external instruments using a a line-input on the audio-interface.
Maybe iPadOS could just 'Auto Aggregate' all connected audio devices and show all available inputs at once?!
(Would be nice to be able to do IDAM between iPads as one example or from Mac to iPad not just iPad to Mac).
And I do hope Files.app gets a proper 'format & eject' functions so I don't have to run First Disk Aid every time a hard-disk has visited the iPad
Cheers!
“DAW style editable audio tracks” !!!
Very happy about that.

I never thought that in this thread so much interesting information is exchanged and even the current roadmap of the developer is made known to us, when I opened this thread.
Many thanks to all.
Oh my!
The approval rating seems to be growing exponentially.
I always have been a hardware / tactile person. And i realize now that how we interact with individual apps is in many ways similar to working with a piece of gear.
Its not just about having physical knobs or being tactile or that special 'analog' sound.
Its also about how it looks. How it feels. How we interact and associate.
I think most ios users will know any app by name by just looking at the icon.
We know how an speicific app sounds.
And we like to have all midi processing apps than anything else😎
Touch screens are extremely tactile.
The interaction is just as direct as operating a piece of gear.
A Modular rack or Animoog.
Both are amazing in different ways.
There is nothing in between.
No keyboard or mouse. No confirming your actions on a seperate screen.
No looking left or right or down😂
But i am sure the brilliant mind of @j_liljedahl already realized this early on.
Audio/music devs that are just as skilled at UX/UI as writing code are extremely rare
AUM is the modular beating heart of iOS music making.
I think you've misunderstood Loopy Pro's model. You don't have to pay forward for updates that you may never see, or not see for some time. You can hold off paying after the 12 months. You'll still have the app as-is but you won't get further feature updates, only bug-fixes. When/If you feel like the newer features are worth it, you can pay the 12 month upgrade, and you'll get every update that has happened and that will happen for the next 12 months.
Well, subscription or not, I want AUM to remain forever in the appstore.
😳
😱
🥲
🥰
Holy shit. These upcoming features are going to be massive game changers! And all I was hoping for was a customisable performance screen to make creating my twisted Ambient experiments a little easier without having to jump around between plugins. I mean, full blown audio tracks?! Automation!? MIDI Clock Receive!? What IS this magic?!
Let’s all tip what you can right now! Haha!
This! 👆
@j_liljedahl is doing so much for us that at this point it'd be a crime not to toss money his way.
Thanks wim, I understand now. Let see how this model will evolve in the time.
[edit] All this has been discussed in many ways in other threads but I want to mention one big disadvantage of the Loopy model. This is a pure marketing principle : if you want to sell big, then you need a killer-feature. It means that a dev can decide to wait before publishing a new feature because he knows that this is the one that will convince the customers to buy the next 12 months. IAP is better as it can be immediately made available for purchase.
Ok if you say it…no more arguments requested
I still think that there are some unexpected « side effects » related to this model.
Thanks for your arguments that are perfectly valid. I don’t say that this model is bad. I say I see a risk that key features will be delayed till the next 12 months period purely for marketing reasons. I prefer a dev releasing immediately the key feature as an IAP. Apps like Loopy Pro and AUM have a huge potential for evolution, so I think both model will be ok here. Some other apps are much more limited and in this case, I fear the few key features will be deliberately delayed…that’s my point of view
Amen! AUM has completely shaped the way I do music on iOS. Brilliant app with constant updates. It just gets better and better, yet we have never even had to pay for an upgrade. Big thanks @j_liljedahl
I don’t think you quite understand the model yet. There is no fixed 12 month schedule that is the same for everyone. It’s 12 months from the time each customer has bought the app. There’s no way that the developer could game the timing of the system in that way.
