New Features in VocaLive include:
MIDI Support: VocaLive 1.5 adds additional control functionality through Core MIDI support, allowing users to control knobs, buttons, presets and other assignable parameters with a standard MIDI controller and a MIDI interface for the device, like IK's iRig MIDI interface. This feature is a free add-on for iRig MIDI owners, or available via in-app purchase.
Digital Audio Support: VocaLive now supports both mini-jack input devices like IK's iRig Mic, iRig Mic Cast and the new iRig PRE via the device headphone jack, as well as 30-pin/Lightning digital audio interface devices, providing users total flexibility on stage, on the bus or in the studio.
Share: In addition to exporting via iTunes and email, VocaLive now provides file sharing via direct export to SoundCloud and FTP transfer so no matter where inspiration strikes, performances can be shared with the world.
