Was great when first updated, now it won’t stay connected
I have the latest version of the app and the Ultralite MK5 updated to the latest firmware. I LOVED the app when I first updated it but now it’s only staying connected for a while. Then, it won’t connect wirelessly. Not sure why it worked and then stopped, perhaps a WIFI issue. I’ll continue trying on different WiFi systems.
Reverb Parameters
Please a ‘feedback’ parameter to the Reverb algorithm.
How do they keep messing this app up?
Every single time there is an update to the app and the ULMK5, it cause serious connection issues. It’s absolutely maddening. It takes repeated attempts of opening and closing the app, disconnecting and reconnecting the interface, or restarting the iPad, just to get it to recognize the hardware. For the love of all that is holy, either stop updating the app, or make sure it works before you set it free!
Updates always screw up connections
Every time there’s an update, it’s a pain in the butt to get reconnected.
Almost there.
Running on a 2022 11” iPad Pro, CueMix 5 is largely functional, and I’m grateful that it exists as I’m using the Ultralite for mobile recording with just the iPad and Logic Pro. There are, however, two things that are a fairly annoying. 1. I almost always need to close and re-open the app multiple times each time I run CueMix, otherwise I just get the ‘Waiting for device to connect. Check power and cables…’ message forever. 2. I really wish that the iOS version had the ability to save and load configuration files. As it is now, I need to connect the device to my Mac before and after a session to do this.
“Waiting for device to connect”
It’s great when it works, but it rarely does. I’ve got the latest firmware installed, but still no luck. I bought a MOTU interface specifically to use with this iPad setup, so obviously I’m pretty disappointed.
This product work when I got it.
Since update CueMix 5 it has been asking me to update firmware on my ultralitemk5 device and can I? Well I looked at at least one YouTube video showing how and well it was for CueMix 1.1.5 which had a menu allowing you to update the firmware. That would be nice because on my CueMix 5 all I get is a screen shows CueMix 5 trade mark, a message saying i need to update firmware and a IP-address link that shows me the IP-address the CueMix 5 is using to connect to my device, and that it no menu that give me an option to update firmware like in the youtube video for CueMix 5 1.1.5 am I going to speed a lot of money buying PC or MAC just to update the firmware when i should be able to use my iPad Pro. It would just save money to buy a different audio inputs device that works which this one did 5 month ago. Or be do something smart like give us the ability to download the legacy drives I don’t I know like 1.1.5 so I can update the FIRMWARE!!! THAN UPDATE CUEMIX 5.
Improve reconnecting to directly connected UltraLite-mk5 devices. Corrected some menu strings for 828 devices.
