midiOS 2.1.10 is now live on the App Store. This update focuses on one big architectural change that makes wireless sessions (especially iPhone Hotspot) far more dependable.

What Changed

We swapped the network roles to match real-world behavior:

• midiOS Bridge (macOS) is now the server

• midiOS (iOS) now connects as the client

In earlier versions, the iPhone was acting as the server — which could work on normal Wi-Fi, but was more fragile under Personal Hotspot / tethered conditions.

Why This Matters

This shift improves the parts that matter during setup and live use:

• More reliable connections over iPhone Hotspot

• Fewer random disconnects / drops

• Cleaner discovery + handshake behavior

• More consistent “connect and stay connected” sessions

Recommended Setup Notes

For best results:

• Open midiOS Bridge first on your Mac

• Then open midiOS on your iPhone and connect

• If you’re using Hotspot, keep the Bridge running before launching midiOS

Update Now

If you’ve ever had a session that worked on Wi-Fi but acted weird on Hotspot, 2.1.10 is the fix you’ve been waiting for.

Over the past four weeks, development on midiOS has moved quickly from refinement into solid product hardening, with major gains in stability, performance, and presentation.

Stability & MIDI Reliability

Significant work was done to improve real-world reliability:

• Fixed MIDI disconnect issues when minimizing the app

• Stabilized Network MIDI over Wi-Fi and iPhone hotspot

• Replaced hard-coded network assumptions with dynamic discovery

• Removed excessive background logging to improve long-term performance

These changes make midiOS far more dependable during extended sessions and live use.

Performance & Control Improvements

The MIDI routing pipeline was refined to better match performance needs:

• Notes and chords remain ultra-low-latency over USB

• Control-surface features (LiveGrid, scenes, transport, macros) now work reliably over wireless MIDI

• Reduced routing collisions and improved control consistency

UX, Visuals & Media

• Refined pad animations and interaction spacing

• Improved layout and touch accuracy in control views

• Produced new high-end Blender renders and motion assets for the website

Looking Ahead

With core stability in place, focus now shifts to final polish, onboarding, and preparing midiOS for broader release.
