Howdy all,
better late than never! PdParty 1.3.1 is now out on the iOS App Store, shortly after 1.3.0 was released before Christmas.
This is a major release which brings many important changes and updates from the previous 1.2 releases and still installs on older devices running iOS versions back to iOS 9.
NOTE: There is currently a bug for multi-channel audio input. If not all channels are receiving input, try changing the samplerate in settings, then changing back. This fix for this will come in PdParty 1.3.2 if/when I can borrow an interface
with more than stereo input.
PLUG: If you appreciate this work, I can be sponsored on Github and am available for workshops, performances, etc. :)
