Hi All

Some information about the forthcoming MixPad release and versioning in relation to hardware.

MixPad V1.9 will require firmware V1.9.

Firmware V1.9 requires the new DSP RackExtra Two card to run on Modular iLive (iDR-10 & iDR-0).

The potential problem is the lack of a downgrade path from the App Store.

Take the scenario you accidentally hit “update all” in your iOS App Store, before you receive your new DSP hardware.

You would be unable to connect your V1.9 MixPad to your V1.8 firmware, and unable to update your firmware until your card arrives.

The best advice is therefore to only upgrade MixPad to V1.9 when you’re in possession of your new DSP card.

To avoid the situation described above, the only workaround we have involves the customer having previously kept a backup of their existing V1.8 MixPad application file (ipa), before the release of V1.9 MixPad.

This can be performed as follows:

Connect your iPad to your PC/Mac, open iTunes and right click on the iPad device, then select Transfer Purchases.

In your Library, under Apps, you should now have a copy of your existing MixPad application.

To take a backup of the ipa file:

On Windows: right click on the application and choose “Show In Windows Explorer”
On Mac: right click on the application and choose “Get Info”

Once you’ve located the ipa file, take a copy and keep it safe in another location.

You’re all done !

If you now accidentally update MixPad or want to roll back, all you have to do is sync your apps from iTunes.
