iOS updates - When will I be left behind?

(1/3) > >>

shufflebeat:
At the minute I run my dl1608 from an iPad 3 iOS9 (docked) and and iPad 2017/5 iOS11 on an airport express. I feel a little bit vulnerable because the iPad 3 is not really going to evolve any further but I'm getting regular update notifications for the iPad 5 so they are getting developmentally further apart.

I imagine at some point MF devs will be obliged to either make a choice between letting go of older iPads and embracing the new capacity or maintaining contact with older iPads and being shut out of the iOS update process.

Anybody care to speculate on how long I have before this time or whether this is an issue at all? Perhaps we've seen the last of MF development.

My docked ipad is an ipad 2 with the 30 pin connector.   It also is as updated as it ever will be.  I've got two ipad minis, one never going to ios 10 or later.  So I've got two out of three that won't update anymore and I'm not worried.  I'm betting that Master Fader is as updated as it ever will be.  Not really expecting Mackie to continue development on this software.  If I'm wrong, I would probably be happy, but the software is pretty good as it is.  It's way better than when I purchased the mixer in 2013.  So much extra stuff there that wasn't available originally.  (VCA, Groups, Copying channels, View Groups, Mute Groups......)

Hi Folks,

I agree that the current Master Fader is quite useful, and
am betting on Master Fader 5 coming along.

How far backwards compatibility will extend, I don't know.

Thanks and good health,  Weogo

I doubt that you will see V5.0 for the DL1608. More than likely you will see a fork in the app DL1608 and DL32R. New mixer to replace DL1608 who knows.

Wynnd:
One more thing to keep in mind.  You don't have to upgrade your software.  What we have is very stable with only a few minor quirks.  Nothing coming is for security or stability.  It's only additional features and possible bug fixes.  (Found one the other day.)
