Sugar Bytes Turnado For iOS Is Now AUv3 Compatible But Loses Support For Audiobus/Inter-App Audio

June 25, 2018 Synth Anatomy iOS, Software 0

Sugar Bytes breaks new ground with its iOS app Turnado using only AUv3 and no longer the technologies Audiobus & Inter-App Audio

It took a while, but it finally continues. Sugar Bytes takes a logical step in their iOS apps. The new update for the Turnado effect processor app brings AUv3 support but lose at the same time support for Audiobus & Inter-App Audio. The developers justify this step that AUv3 is the future for iOS apps. I understand this step quite well because the developers have fewer problems updating their apps. If an iOS app has more connection technologies, a developer runs the risk of getting more bugs inside the apps. So the effort is greater to fix these again and again. This cost also a lot of money & time.

But as many musicians continue to use these two technologies, I find the step good but too fast. I prefer to have apps with all three major connection options inside. At a later day, they could still change this. Nonetheless, Sugar Bytes goes the right direction for their iOS apps!
