Master Fader 3.0 Public Beta Test
« on: November 10, 2014, 04:09:42 PM »
Hello All,
We are nearing the release of Master Fader 3.0. As such we are looking for a few brave users to help us test the final release. This public beta will help ensure that the upgrade and Show/Snapshot translation is working properly. With so many different combinations of parameters in your Shows/Snapshots, we want to be sure they update properly and work as expected in 3.0.

Here are the details:
* We will only be accepting 100 testers at this time. First come, first served. In exchange, you will get to use Master Fader 3.0 for a week or two longer than everyone else.
* The Public Beta version will be the same build we plan to submit to Apple for release. This release candidate has already been throughly tested internally and with our private beta testers.
* However, this is still a Beta and it is possible there are undiscovered issues. There are no guarantees it won't completely erase your Shows, Snapshots, or Presets.
* With the number of testers, we will not be able to provide individual support. If 3.0 gives you issues, you will likely need to revert back to 2.1.1 and which may cause you lose your Shows, Snapshots and Presets unless you restore your iPad. We will do our best to help as much as possible but Tech Support will not be able to assist.
* After updating, you will need to email a report on how the update went and any issues you discovered.
* You will not be able to use My Fader 2 with Master Fader 3.0 and we will not be Beta Testing My Fader 3.0 at this time.
* We will be using the new Apple Test Flight system which requires iOS8 (Master Fader 3.0 works on iOS7.1 but this Beta won't). Once registered with Test Flight, you will be able to access Master Fader 3.0 on other iPads that use the same Apple ID.
* You cannot discus Master Fader 3.0 publicly until it is officially released.

So if you are still interested, send an email to BetaRequest@dlseries.zendesk.com with the following information.
* First and Last Name
* Email - This needs to be an email you can access on an iPad you will use for testing
* iPad model(s) you will be using for testing

If you are accepted, you will receive an email with further instructions soon. For those not testing or chosen, don't worry, Master Fader 3.0 is right around the corner for all.

Thank's in advance for your assistance.

Ben

Ben:
You may want to select some testers that have frequent "white noise" on their system.
When in doubt KISS

I don't own a DL beno, but I am happy from someone who works 6 nights a week to give you an honest report from a complete dl newbie, if you care to loan me a unit that is.

Cheers

Just want to thank everyone again. At this point, we don't need anymore public Beta Testers but you can all enjoy the benefits of Master Fader 3.0 soon when it is released.
