Lag with 88-Knob Layout

Hi, I just made an 88 knob layout on an iPad Air 1, iOS 10.3.1, & there is lots of lag. When I turn a control it jumps around skipping values, then after a few seconds it becomes smooth, but this happens whenever I turn a new control, so persists. MD is the only open app. I tried restarting the iPad to see if that'd help but it didn't. I even sent it to my iPhone 6S+ even though it wasn't made for its small screen, but it was laggy on that too. I'm going to attach the layout for you to test...it shouldn't be so laggy right?

Not seeing an issue with the iPad Air 2, but first: what sbout the midi being received on your midi target? Is that laggy? Thanks!

Think I've found the bug in MD. The new graphics of the knobs causes lag. I loaded an old template that had 70+ knobs on one page & NO lag. The updated MD with new graphics style causes lag for me once I use ~40+ knobs whereas the old style is fine. Can you please give an option to choose the graphical style of the knobs in an update? Many thanks

You can absolutely change the style of the knobs to the old style. Config -> Options is one place and on the individual knobs under Advanced, if you wanted to go that route. Thanks for sleuthing this out. We can definitely do some optimizations to make all the knobs work faster...

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Dan, that fixed it. For anyone else who has this issue / wants to go back to the old style - In Config - Options - scroll down - Global Display Version - choose Classic. To do it per control go to - Advanced - Display Version - Classic

Thanks again, wishing you all the best!

Thanks gdog. How you figured this out without knowing that you could change this easily in Config -> Options is beyond me (and amazing)... nice work.

We just released MDP2 v2.9, so if you feel like leaving a great review in the App Store, please do.

Thanks for the kind wishes and the #appLove!
