Recorder.
Important Notice about the
driver installation
Please be sure to remove the old driver before installing
this driver.
New functions
V1.02 additions
Recording/playback is now possible in iOS 5.x when
•
the device is locked (because of the auto-lock function
or pressing the On/O Sleep/Wake Button).
In order to prevent unexpected feedback noise, the
•
speaker button is automatically turned OFF when
recording or in recording standby. In the previous
version, the speaker button stayed OFF after recording
(or standby) ended, but in this version, the speaker
button is turned ON again if it was ON beforehand.
Operation has been conrmed with the TASCAM iM2
•
Stereo Microphone and TASCAM iU2 Audio/MIDI
Interface.
In order to protect the recorded data, recording will
•
automatically stop before the iOS device stops when
the remaining battery charge becomes less than about
15%. In addition, if recording is started when the
remaining battery charge is near 15%, a low battery
warning appears on screen.
V1.01 additions
Audio input devices such as the iM2 are automatically
•
detected and STEREO/MONO input is set automatically.
STEREO/MONO mode options have been increased. In
•
order, you can now select STEREO, MONO-L or MONO
L+R.
When using SoundCloud, your Log In status (or
•
connection status set most recently) is retained until
you log o, making logging in easier.
A notication will appear informing you whether a
•
SoundCloud upload has completed successfully or
failed.
The maximum INPUT and OUTPUT gain has been
•
increased to +12 dB from +2 dB.
During recording standby, the name that will be given
•
to the le to be recorded will be shown.
Maintenance Items
V1.02 fixes
If a call was received during recording, various settings
•
could be lost in some cases. This has been xed.
In order to prevent feedback, the speaker button
•
cannot be turned ON when recording.
When searching during playback, the location reached
•
might not be as expected in some cases. This has been
xed.

•
The limiter settings have been changed to the
•
following.

General improvements have been made to the

progress bar, cueing and other transport operations.
The monitoring volume can now be adjusted with the

displayed correctly.
The MONO/STEREO input setting does not change now
•
when the HOME button is pressed.
When MONO is enabled, the monitoring signal is now
•
monophonic when in recording standby and when
recording.
When ContPlay is enabled, it now works as expected
•
after recording completes.
When ContPlay is enabled, it now works again as
•
expected after the last le in the track list has been
played if playback of another le is started.
Files imported from iTunes that have extensions in
•
capital letters (.WAV) are now shown in the le list.
iOS devices running iOS 4.3.5 also output mono
•
recordings on both left and right channels now when
played back.
When using an iPad (iOS 4.3.5), a signal input from a
•
mic connected to the dock will no longer be mixed
with the playback signal.
Touching the Cancel button on the SoundCloud screen
•
now closes it.
Now, when not connected to a network, SoundCloud
•
sharing will be disabled and a message will appear.
When already logged in to SoundCloud, touching the

Log In button no longer causes the app to freeze with a
“Login…” message on screen.

CAUTION
Since recording is now possible even when the
•
device is locked, it is possible to continue recording
unattended for a very long time. Beware that this could
result in the use of a great amount of storage and drain
the battery.
If a call or notication is received, recording will stop.
•
This is a limitation of iOS devices.
