I still have a copy of 1.0..it is the same as the 1.01 except no IAA
I haven't received a response from Alesis for almost a year concerning the features , rim/midi assigments etc.
There hasn't been an update for the DMTouch for almost a year.
The 1.01 update was to enable the IAA as it was in the products description in the app store.
DMTouch is nothing more than a full featured Demo..I don't believe it needs to be "fixed"..but rather the features need to be enabled or turned on.
It is a SQLite build with dls files, and the UI is made up of iDrum nib files.
each kit has.. SQLite script (bank locker including "purchasable" dls)
...dls files.(downloadable sounds)...each dls file has 8 layers which was promising
... kit pieces.. png
there are some extra banks such as custom kits..extra kicks..etc
other than the allowance of "live" editing,mixing and saving kit pieces ,everything seems to be disabled/off including global parameters / save function..so once you close the app it defaults/resets.
It was setup for server communication/authorization/purchasing which to date no server has been set up.
Thats more than likely the reason it's free..if there was a fee involved Apple would not allow it in the App Store as it would have to be fully functional.
Alesis "dangled a carrot"...if/when it is completed there will more than likely be a fee/user account or hardware dependent inter-app purchasing etc..examples such as Digitech iStomp..(Digitech gave up on the iStomp and all models are now free) or something along the lines of IK Multimedia ..
who knows...based on the past couple years the DMTouch/DMDock may end up under a different brand..or maybe there will be an update for the DMDock that unlocks all the features of the app..or the server goes online.
at this point and time it's all speculation
The source code is in there also but it would be too time consuming.. not to mention the legal issues to make it fully functional
If you wish to review the app build..ipa is a package delivery method ..got to music/itunes/mobile media.. copy/place the ipa in a folder..rename the file extension to zip..and extract it,you can view the code resources, SQLite files with notepad and you can use a program such as Awave Studio to open/edit/play the sound files
