Problem with Downloading Patches from Forum on iOS

Yeah, That patch is a real CPU hog. It runs fine on my Mac, but it’s not even close on my iPad. I’ll see if I can thin it down enough to run on an iPad. It’s often the effects that suck up most of the CPU horsepower. This one has an over-the-top phaser I built that’s cool, but not very efficient. If I come up with something I’ll let you know.

The patch runs at 50% on a 2017 iPad Pro! I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to do though. I also am trying to figure out how to have background audio. I thought Audulus had background audio before, but I can’t figure out where to enable this.

The wrench in the upper left corner of the browse window

Before the iPad fix it wouldn’t run at all. The latest update improved things a lot. High end Macs still have an edge but the iPad Pros will run most patches now.

Thanks! It’s running in the background as I type this.

I put together a less demanding version. It will run on my iPad. Don’t know if it will run on an Air 1 but it should be closer. Take out the delays if it is still too much. Slow Burn - music to contemplate antisocial acts by

Any updates on the patch download issue? Hope this can get resolved soon-ish, I’m itching to download RudigerMeyer’s Hordijk re-creations! I know there are a couple workarounds but I don’t use dropbox or any cloud storage things.

None yet - I will check back in with the Discourse people. They’re the ones that have to fix it.

An easier workaround than dropbox is to directly transfer them from your computer to your iOS device while it’s plugged in and syncing. Have you tried that?

Cheers, Mark! Didn’t know that was an option, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Yeah you just plug it in and use iTunes, go to your device, and File Transfer then select Audulus. Then you can add stuff directly there. If you have iCloud turned on you can just dump it in your iCloud folder too thats usually what I do since the patches are small and don’t take too long to transfer over wireless

i find that the Workflow app which is free is about as smooth as it gets as @RudigerMeyer explains above.

shred · July 13, 2018, 2:14pm

I didn’t have much luck with Workflow, although I’m sure it was user error. I did, however, have success using Dropbox! I forgot I had an account that was sitting unused. Opening the patch in a new tab and then saving directly to Dropbox worked great.

Any news on a fix for this?

robertsyrett · September 13, 2018, 4:44pm

Workflow app (free) is the workaround. It’s not too bad once you adjust.

BLT · September 13, 2018, 5:44pm

Tried both Dropbox and Workflow and can’t get either to work.

robertsyrett · September 13, 2018, 9:35pm

Not sure if @Paulinko was about to post this here.

I’ve been using iCab Mobile and Puffin Browser (there are lots of other browsers that download as well) to download patches on my iPad with no problems:
