iPadOS 13

[WK154]

Apple has finally figured out that a iPad is not a phone  . I guess they were pummeled enough by Android and Windows to finally decide to catch-up. The new release of iOS13 will also see the release of iPadOS this fall. The new features for iPadOS address productivity speed and interchangeability of files. Well at least new to the iPad. Read the details here: https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-preview/features/  .Some report hint at iPad 2 on up compatibility which is certainly of interest for a lot of you. How well it runs is yet to be determined. Currently in Beta.

Update The iPad 2 is actually iPad Air 2 and the earliest compatible iPad. Didn't think Apple would break with tradition.

The question now is will the Mackie app MyFader be able to work with the new OS? They will probably be released about the same time-frame.

Since Apple is determined to use their own A series processors on the Mac this is a precursor to that migration IMHO. In the next few years Apple will replace Intel processors in Macs with their own for more control over their product and users.  I see this as a sink or swim effort in the commercial field by Apple.

This September 10th the new OS's will be unveiled with the usual 7 days later availability from Apple. along with any new hardware. The question is will iPadOS share the stage with iOS 13 or not. We'll know in 8 days unlike the "coming soon" company Mackie's MF 5.1  .

Do you think there will have to be changes made to MF 5.1 to accommodate iOS 13?

[WK154]

If there are then Mackie should be aware of them considering Apple has released the 8th Beta. I wont deal with that until their final release.

Apple announced that iPadOS 13 will be available Sept. 30 2019. Will Mackie wait til then to release MF 5.1? Also announced is a new low end iPad 10.2" screen but only an A10 processor  . This makes it the seventh generation of the standard iPad. Of course also the annual iPhone 11 with a new A13 processor by the end of the month.

Apple announced that iPadOS 13 will be available Sept. 30 2019.

They've moved the ship date up a bit to Sept. 24th.

That makes Mackie's release of 5.1 even later. I have a new update for their "Coming Soon" to "Coming Very Soon" for the marketing folks 

[WK154]

OK now that I'm on the second release of iPadOS 13 V13.1.1 will Mackie ever release their "Coming Real Soon"    V5.1 of MF??

I suspect that Apple has a whole lot more developers than Mackie.

Yeah and Mackie's team can't even hold a candle to Dave Schumann (part timer)   https://twitter.com/devcoreorg   . His Mixing Station software has already since Mackie started in addition to Behringer/Midas covered A&H lines and Soundcraft with versions for iPad, Android and now PC/Mac/Linux Mixing Station. I suggested to BenO over 3 years ago when Dave was looking for the next mixer to include that Mackie make him an offer. Well we all know the results of NIH (Not Invented Here) Mackie attitude. The same one they offered a young upstart Metacom (Cacophony member name) here and AFAIK threatened a lawsuit if he proceeded with his Mandolin to OSC product. BenO used me to get at him so I'm glad he is no longer at Mackie. I still have all the communications regarding that incident. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes most people don't know about.

P.S. Maybe its time for Ty Shultz of Transom to take a hard look at their investment at Mackie and let some heads roll at Mackie. Their performance is pathetic.

Apple iPad OS 13 is now at 13.1.2 . Fixes are coming hot and heavy. Hope they stop soon.

Gotta say I’m pretty happy with ipad os 13x...  it is working more reliably it seems than iOS 12 for me.
The mackie MF has not once locked up, though it did stop communicating with the mixer and that was due to the iPad having broadband on it and there being some confusion of where to send traffic it seems. 

The previous mr lockup was an issue with task switching between mf and iPad’s built in music player or 3rd party ones.  Happened randomly so couldn’t reliably reproduce it to report it. And I figured I was the only one dumb enough to use the same iPad to stream and mix with.  Has not happened once with iPad os 13x.

For those of you hating on mackie...  I’m hoping the release is just right around the corner...    trying to stay positive hehehe
