1 of 7 RELEASE NOTES Mackie Master Fader App V4.0 • November 2015 Introduction These release notes describe changes and upgrades to the Mackie Master Fader app and DL Series mixer firmware since Version 3.2. New Master Fader app releases may be downloaded and installed directly from the iOS device via the App Store or via iTunes 1 on Mac or PC. Be sure to perform a full System Backup of Master Fader – Tools > Settings – before downloading the app. Master Fader V4.0 may be installed alongside Master Fader 3. This lets you upgrade at your convenience. If you don't know the version you are currently using, go to Tools > Help on Master Fader. The version is listed near the top of the screen. A popover will appear the first time you run V4.0 asking if you want to import shows and presets from Master Fader 3. The mixer firmware will also need to be updated. This will happen the next time Master Fader is connected to a DL Series mixer. Simply follow the on-screen instructions. Please ensure that there is enough time before the next gig. Master Fader V4.0 works with all supported iOS devices. There is no longer a separate My Fader app for iPhone and iPod touch. You will need to do a force update on the mixer when going back to a previous version of Master Fader (after using V4.0). NOTE: By default, iOS updates apps automatically. We strongly recommend you disable automatic updates for apps in iOS. Otherwise you run the risk of a long update occurring right in the middle of a show. Ouch! Simply go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, then turn Updates off. More detailed instructions may be found in Appendix B: iOS Optimizations of the Reference Guide.

A popover will appear the first time you run V4.0 asking if you want to import shows and presets from Master Fader 3.

NOTE: By default, iOS updates apps automatically. We strongly recommend you disable automatic updates for apps in iOS. Otherwise you run the risk of a long update occurring right in the middle of a show. Ouch! Simply go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, then turn Updates off.
