  • Different contiguous value ranges of CC #70 should trigger the history of each loop. Ex: 0-15 will trigger the undo history for loop 1, 16-31 for loop 2, and so on... (there is a little more info in the MIDI implantation documentation under the Set…
  • Hey Axel, 1. Yes, don't rename the JSON file... Sorry, I did not have time to create a UI for selecting different files. This was a quick and dirty way to get the file code working. Worst case, I figured people could keep different copies of th…
  • Update: I was able to get Everest working in AUM, but only in the first "input" slot. It works well: syncs to AUM's clock, receives input from hardware, etc. AUM is a cool app, I can definitely see why people like it. Everest doesn't currently pa…
  • Everest exports itself only as a Generator Inter-App Audio app, not an Effect or Music Effect app. When I first implemented IAA support this seemed like the most logical option for a few reasons: 1) Everest needs MIDI/Control/Touch input to work/r…
  • Thanks for the note Troy. Here is some background on the current behavior: Everest sets it's tempo on quarter-note-scoped sample lengths. This is what enables Everest to have perfect sample-accurate sync without any time stretching. While this m…
  • That sounds like a possible bug... I will need some help from you to repeat the behavior on my end... I was just able to copy audio from one recorded Everest track to another empty track on my iPhone 6 Plus, iOS version 9.3.2. I was also able to c…
  • Thanks for suggestions and feedback! By my reading, there are couple of ideas here (echoed elsewhere too) : 1) Flexible non-fixed MIDI assignments are very useful, if slightly bewildering for non-expert users. 2) The interface to assign new assign…
  • Do you mean reverse the fact that the action is triggered on release? So that the action is triggered on the press? I think it depends on what the Blueboard transmits on the press (if anything). It sounds like the Blueboard only transmits MIDI va…
  • Thanks for the update Alan! Glad to hear it is working for you. CC #79 should be mapped to the Overdub Toggle. When the loop is empty it should toggle the Quantization state as you have experienced. Since that is a "special" case/state I am assu…
  • Hi Starscape, You make a lot of good points... Let me try and address them one-at-a-time: 1) I totally agree that the feedback knob could be improved. I have the same problems in practice that you are having: a) jumpy values when engaging the to…
  • Hi Alan, You probably need to select one of the Audiobus input's from Everest's input routing menu. You will find it under: Settings (the gear icon) / Input Routing (in the "Mixer" section) / Input Assignments for Loops 1-4 / AUDIOBUS section (wh…
  • Hey Axel, All your feedback is very helpful; I appreciate the attention to detail... :) 1) I agree 100% that there should be a way to have completely asynchronous loops, even when hosted by another IAA app. I will have to spend some time thinkin…
  • You are welcome! I am happy to hear that people are still using it. In terms of the possible bug: The logic between Pause, Restart and the global loop/tempo track definitely could be cleaner. Background: When the first loop is recorded, a globa…
  • I have submitted version 1.1.0 to Apple for review. If all goes well it should be out in a week or so. If anyone wants to try a beta of the next version, feel free to email me via the contact page on the main website.
  • Yes, sorry for the delay! 1) I have been adding new UI elements (buttons, feedback knobs, etc.) that take a surprising amount of time to test and code. These are very promising and are nearing completion. This also opened up the possibility for u…
  • @edouardpapazian Everest 1.0.4 now has a switch to ignore, or not ignore, MIDI CC values of 0. This should work with the Blueboard. Let me know if there are any problems. Thanks.
  • @crifytosp I just wanted to let you know that Undo now undoes recordings. I think you requested this feature. @thinds you may have requested this as well. I hope it works to your satisfaction!
  • Good news: Everest 1.0.4 is out on the App Store. I encourage anyone with iOS 8.4 to upgrade immediately. There are a few fixes in the app and two small features. Thanks for your patience!
  • Hi @pangea2003 I think Everest already does what you want. Here are some options: 1. You can disable all quantization in the settings menu. Just turn off the three quantization switches, and the loops won't synchronize with each other. Nor sho…
  • Ok, I submitted the recent fixes and the above features to Apple for review. Hopefully the app will be back up and out in a few days. Let me know if anything else breaks. :)
  • Brief update: I found part of the problem last night: Apple seems to have silently changed the requirements for Apps that use more than 2 I/O channels and more than one output device. I could not find any updates to the documentation to reflect t…
  • Thanks @thinds. I signed up for the group to see any questions or comments, but my membership is still pending. So, I can't even see the post. Can you relay any important feedback?
  • Hey everyone, I just updated the roadmap spreadsheet. I consolidated all the feedback and suggestions I received, along with a few things I want to see. They are in rough priority order, but it would be helpful to have some voting on what I should…
  • Hey @crifytosp Yeah, I have been a little busy with other development work recently. I have coded up a few of the message board/email suggestions/feedback/bugs, but I need to consolidate them and add them to the roadmap, so people know what is com…
  • Hi @M3ch Thanks for the feedback! I am happy someone is taking advantage of the IAA effect possibilities. It took a number of iterations to get the sync working with respect to different apps. It seems it was worth the effort after all. :) I a…
  • Hey @Axel, I just saw the Guitar Wing for the first time. I was wondering how it would work with Everest. :) I agree that the MIDI CC implementation in Everest should support the different flavors of CC hardware controller behaviors in the MIDI …

  • Hi @Axel, Thanks for the feedback, it is very helpful. I am sorry you are running into these snags. It sounds like you have found all the dark corners of the app, so kudos to you for the deep dive. :) Let me address each point, one at a time. …
  • Thanks Ed, Given what information you posted, it seems the Blueboard alternatively transmits CC values of 0 and 127. This explains why every action requires two presses; Everest ignores values of 0 for CC's. I coded it this way because some MIDI …

  • Hi @edouardpapazian I am sorry you are having problems with Everest and the Blueboard. My interpretation of your problem: you are able to connect the BB to Everest, but the controls aren't working the way you expect. Is that correct? In Everest,…

  • I agree. I started implementing this for the 1.0.3 release, but my attempt caused some weird bugs, so I pulled it out. I should be able to get it working in the next release. This type of undo would probably apply to inserts and multiplies as wel…
