Pure Acid version 1.5.5

Updated At: 2026-06-29

Changes: Version History - fixed: drum solo/mutes were ignored when triggering drums from Midi Input, both standalone app and AVu3; - fixed: UI graphics bug, appeared on iPad mini (standalone app); - app age ratings info has been updated as required by the App Store; - minor bug fixes. 1.5.5 Jan 5 - Fixed: Ableton Link was not working in the network between Ableton Live and Pure Acid on the newest iOS versions; - AUv3: Midi In Channel settings bug fixed. Previously, audio units always had [Bass: Any, Drums: 10] Midi In channel setting. Now it corresponds to what you set in the standalone's global Midi In Channel settings (Settings menu); - now you can Paste a bassline (or drums) pattern into a new pattern slot during playback right before jumping to that slot. It is helpful during live playback if you want to create several bassline (or drums) patterns by copying one to another without interrupting the playback. All you have to do is tap the destination pattern slot, and then quickly tap the Paste button right before the cursor jumps to that pattern slot. 1.5.4 03/30/2023 In this update: - minor bug fix that could cause standalone app to crash upon start on devices with iOS 12 and earlier; In previous update 1.5.2: - added new Ukrainian style color scheme (In-App purchase) in the standalone app's Main Menu -> Support Ukraine; - added ability to change app's icon to Ukrainian color style (In-App purchase); - Ableton Link and AudioBus support updated to the newest versions. 1.5.3 04/21/2022 In the standalone Pure Acid app (Main Menu -> Support Ukraine): - added new Ukrainian style color scheme (In-App purchase); - added ability to change app's icon to Ukrainian color style (In-App purchase); - Ableton Link and AudioBus support updated to the newest versions. 1.5.2 04/15/2022 - fixed: when copy/pasting a drum pattern, step conditions were not copied; - certain stability improvements, which should prevent crashing, particularly when loading AUv3 into Cubasis 3. 1.5.1 12/30/2020 • Audio unit now supports Midi Output! Two Midi Out ports added: Bassline and Drums. Be sure to enable them in standalone's Settings -> Midi -> "Bass Midi Out Channel" and "Drums Midi Out Channel" setting; • minor bugs & some potential memory leaks fixed. 1.5.0 12/01/2020 In this update: - a quick fix for iPhone 12 Pro Max display resolution support; In previous 1.4.2 update: Introducing step conditions in the drum sequencer! Now you can assign step conditions to various drum steps while in Step Edit mode to make your drum patterns more live and diverse! Just tap a step (or hold it) and rotate the data knob to assign desired step condition to selected step. A list of step conditions used: -> CPY (copy previous condition result); -> 1st (play step only once at the first pattern's run, useful for e.g. Crash Cymbal); -> 10-90% (sets probability of this step playback); -> X:Y (e.g. 2:4 means play step during each 2nd repeat of every 4 repeats of the pattern); -> stripe/exclamation marked conditions mean inversion of the condition result. Also in this update: • bug fixed in multi-output AUv3: when sending midi data to Pure Acid's Midi Input, the sound of the non-master busses was distorted; • now you can set AUv3 to open initially with a blank preset instead of an Init pattern by changing in standalone Settings -> General -> "Load AUv3 with" setting; • some factory presets were modified to include new step condition feature; • 5 new factory pattern presets added; • standalone midi output: slide notes overlapping increased a bit; • Audiobus and Ableton Link SDK updated to the latest versions; • minor bug fixes and iOS 14 support. 1.4.3 11/17/2020 Introducing step conditions in the drum sequencer!
