iGOG and the 2G iPhone
iGOG and the 2G iPhone
I was alerted to your iGOG App by the Engadget article, and after watching the youtube videos it looks absolutely amazing.
On the App page, it mentions that a version compatible with the first gen iPhone is in the works.
Do you have any idea of the time-frame for its arrival?
Is it currently not supported due to too strenuous of processor/memory requirements?
Thanks

2G support is planned for the next update, which we're submitting next week (it takes Apple a little time to approve updates, though).

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
The iphone and iphone 3G have the same processor and memory as far as I know. Only the 3GS has a new processor.
Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Right, but for some strange reason the audio is handled differently in 2G vs 3G/3GS. Users are having intermittent issues with the audio on 2G devices. It's something we're going to find and fix this coming week, but in the mean time, we're playing it safe by letting people know to hold off if they have a 2G device.

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Any news on when the update to get iGOG to work on the 2G is to be released?
Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
This has been fixed and already submitted to Apple on Wednesday. It usually takes them 2-3 weeks to approve an update, so it will go live then.
The way I solved the issue was this: If you want to use VelAUcity or mic triggering mode on a 2G, you need to use a headset. The reason for this is because the 2G iPhone has a maximum sample rate of 8Khz if you're using the built-in mic. If you're using a headset with a mic, any sample rate will work, so that's not a problem.
So, here's how it will work:
- If you don't need to use VelAUcity or mic triggering modes: simply use the 2G iPhone as is (or with a pair of regular headphones).
- If you want to use VelAUcity or mic triggering mode, plug in the headset that came with your phone (the white Apple one).
3G and 3GS iPhones don't have any issues with the sample rate.

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
So this means that the mic-triggering of "VelAUcity" stuff will be sampled through the headset's mic?
Does it still work as slickly as the demonstration videos with the 3G and 3GS?
It seems like it could be poorer performance due to the distances involved.
Thanks.

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Actually, it works remarkably well, in both mic triggering, and in VelAUcity mode. Keep in mind that the technology behind this comes from Drumagog, and is designed to be used with all kinds of microphones, in all kinds of scenarios. We actually mic'd up a kit made of pots and pans at a few tradeshows and it triggered well

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Sweet deal.
If I buy the app now,
I can upgrade to the fully-functional one once the update goes through Apple, right?
I'm excited.

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
yes, the upgrades are always free. Just so you know, currently you won't get any audio at all in iGOG with a 2G...

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Oh, not at all? I thought it would just have disabled microphone-enhanced inputs,
so you could still drum on the pads on the screen, just without velocity sensitivity.
It doesn't work at all at the moment?

Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Exactly, it's not functional at all on a 2G iPhone right now. The update fixes this, and adds the headset support I mentioned...

Any news on the update or is it stuck in the black hole of appstore?
Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
For reals, I check it like every other day, and still nothings.
Re: iGOG and the 2G iPhone
Apple doesn't really give us too much to go with... It just says "In review" at this point. It should be any day now, since it's been almost 3 weeks...
