The only problem with the sound test room video is that it relied on a DrumComputer folder for user presets being automatically placed in your iCloud Drive after installing the app and enabling the option to sync via iCloud. But until this most recent update, that folder wasn’t showing up anywhere, so there was literally nowhere to store or import user presets.
Now they’ve fixed it, and the user preset folder is showing up in iCloud Drive like it should. Then all I did was select all the presets from the unzipped folder of 3rd party presets, drag all of them into the user preset folder, then open up DrumComputer and all of the presets were sitting there in my user preset list, ready to go. I didn’t have to import anything or install the presets one at a time. I just used the files app to move all the presets into the appropriate folder in one go, and the rest took care of itself.
Now I just need to send them an email about that Effectrix icon. Granted it’s not really a big problem, but without the color highlights, the logo looks surprisingly ugly….its just a big white E floating off-center on a black background. I don’t quite understand why Sugar Bytes went to the effort of updating Turnado for hi-res displays and better functionality in the windowed app mode for iOS 26 (a mode I’m learning to despise, but that’s beside the point,) but the other apps have remained largely untouched. It would be nice if they updated all their apps for better iOS 26 compatibility, instead of just picking a couple to update (while also introducing a new batch of glitches) and leaving the rest of their apps untouched.
It seems like a lot of app developers either weren’t prepared for iOS 26 or just didn’t care about the changes it introduced, because I feel like a lot of developers just couldn’t be bothered to make their apps run properly under this new iOS. Between iCloud syncing issues, nothing being done to accommodate for the new (stupid) pull-down menu bar, and all sorts of other random bugs and visual glitches, think iOS 26/iPadOS 26 is the single worst version of iOS I’ve ever had to deal with. Maybe it’s just me, but even if you don’t take into account how divisive the Liquid Glass is, the OS itself just seems to run like garbage, or app developers can’t be arsed to make their apps run properly under the new OS. All I know is I’ve never had so many issues with any of my iDevices until 26. Apple really dropped the ball on this one, and a lot of the app developers don’t seem too concerned with putting any effort into making their apps run properly under the new OS. Hopefully iOS 27 actually fixes some things, because 26 has been absolute trash in my experience. And I still can’t get over how stupidly unreliable and inconsistent the windowed app mode is.
Maybe just create a drum computer folder? Sometimes that can work, not sure in this circumstance. Not sure just throwing it out there.
The folder issue has already been solved. Sugar Bytes fixed the glitch last week after I emailed them about it. Also, making your own folder wouldn’t/didn’t work. The folder has to be created by the app itself, otherwise it won’t recognize any of the presets as valid files. But like I said, the DrumComputer thing has been taken care of. There are just some other bugs I’m discovering with the other Sugar Butes apps now, and I’m cranky about how crummy iOS/iPadOS 26 is, along with the side-effect of revealing how many of my apps have kind of been abandoned, considering the significant lack of updates re: iOS 26 compatibility, windowed mode, etc. I’d say a good majority of my iPad apps weren’t updated at all for “windowed mode” anyway….weird window sizing behavior, no access to the almost completely useless (imo) pull-down menu bar without resizing the window, etc. Basically, I just think everything about the new windowed mode is garbage. Fortunately it can be turned off. In theory, it’s a good idea, I guess, but the actual implementation has been pretty bad overall, in my experience.
Right on. My mistake the update came through 6 days ago. Thanks for that.
Yea I didn’t know if it would work. I was just throwing the idea out there… but no need.
Like you mentioned, at least theres the option to turn it off, like I’m about to do, lol. You’re talking about when an app is open and less than full screen size, then it has a red, yellow, green, buttons in the top left, correct?
If so, I agree, good in theory, but has been a bit odd in practice. I mostly engage it by accident. Ive still been using split screen, and slide over with apps that have the ability.
I just hate the lack of consistency between apps that actually received updates specifically to enhance compatibility with iOS 26 and all the apps/developers that didn’t do anything to try and make their product more “compatible” with the new changes in 26.
For instance, if your iPad is set up to run apps in windowed mode, some apps run just fine in full-screen windowed mode (e.g., swiping down from the top of the screen brings down the menu bar with the red/yelllow/green traffic light buttons), but just as many apps, if not more, won’t let you do that. You have to shrink the app window either by dragging the corner or double tapping somewhere along the top of the screen, and only then can you get the menu bar and traffic light buttons to appear, and in those cases, the traffic light buttons will appear then disappear before I have time to even hit one.
And on top of the inconsistency between which apps let you access the menu bar and which ones don’t, I have found the menu bar to be an almost completely useless addition to the OS. Maybe it serves some purpose with certain productivity apps, but I mainly just use my iPad for music/audio apps, reading PDFs, and occasionally watching videos, and I have yet to find a single function anywhere in the menu bar for any of my apps that couldn’t already have been achieved by tapping on a button in the app itself. The menu bar, when I can get it to even show up, just gives me a bunch of useless options that frequently don’t even do anything because it’s just the same generic menu bar regardless of the app.
It’s like the designers said “we need to make this thing more like a Mac, so we’d better add some extra menus in there…the menus don’t actually have to do anything, they’re just for aesthetics.” iOS 26/iPadOS just seems like most of the focus was placed on the most superficial, visual components, and then they called it good, without actually putting any thought or effort into the functionality or purpose of all the fancy new menus and glitchy transparency effects. I know plenty of new features have been introduced with 26, but it still feels like the main purpose of iOS 26 was to change the way everything looks and add a bunch of extra menus and options that serve no purpose other than making certain apps a bigger pain in the ass to use than they used to be. Maybe it’s just me, but functionally, this is probably the worst version of iOS that I’ve ever dealt with since my first iPhone (the iPhone 4S.) It all just feels really sloppy and unfinished. I hope Apple and/or the app developers can get their shit together for iOS 27 and release something that actually operates the way it was intended.
