DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
Is the DP Control app for IPhone working for anyone in Yosemite?
I can't seem to to get this working.
Thanks!

Although I don't have the same configuration as yours, it works like a charm here on my iPhone 6/iOS 8.4 + 10.10.4/DP9.JSmith1234567 wrote:Is the DP Control app for IPhone working for anyone in Yosemite?

Amazing. Completely broken on my iPad Mini 2, iOS 8.4, 10.10.4, DP9. Doesn't work on my iPhone 4S, iOS 7. Does work on my iPod Touch 2, iOS 4, although MOTU says it won't.Morpheo wrote:Although I don't have the same configuration as yours, it works like a charm here on my iPhone 6/iOS 8.4 + 10.10.4/DP9.

Are you disabling Bluetooth on your device when using it? I remember reading that this could cause problems.

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
I'm on Mavericks still, and it works on my iPad (iOS 8.2) and iPhone (iOS 8.3), with caveats:
1. Sometimes the initial launch of DP Control will freeze. This then requires quitting the app, double clicking the Home button, removing the app from ram, then relaunching it. Then it works.
2. Some of the functions do not work. For example, going to the second screen on the Transport page will freeze the app. Back to step #1. On the iPad, the Mixer screen crashes the app. On the iPhone, it won't work at all.
Bottom line, it seems to me that absent a new update from MOTU, DP Control is on borrowed time.

Yes, bluetooth is off. It usually launches, but quits when I switch screens.James Steele wrote:Are you disabling Bluetooth on your device when using it? I remember reading that this could cause problems.

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
This is a mess!
It won't work for me at all, although it worked a couple years ago.
Why don't they fix this, or discontinue it?

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
If MOTU had made a new version of Control available only for v9, that would have been a big incentive for me to upgrade. But they didn't... big missed opportunity and a tad annoying.
MOTU have acknowledged for well over a year now that Control is buggy and effectively broken and when you look at what is available for other DAWs, well...

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
DP control app is working fine for me in Yosemite. I've got an iPhone 4S, OS 10.10.4, DP 9.0.
I don't do a lot with it, mostly the transport controls. And I have to manually re-establish the connection any time I restart either DP Control or Digital Performer on the Mac, but that's always been true.

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
It isn't the Mac OSX version that is the issue with DP Control, it's the newer versions of iOS. Unless MOTU decide to update the app, once you upgrade iOS, it could break DP Control totally or partially.RodneySauer wrote:DP control app is working fine for me in Yosemite.

Re: DP Control App / IPhone 5 / New Mac Pro / Yosemite
Well, I'm using the most recent iOS (8.4) and it works fine. I hope it continues to do so.
