Sysex Keyboard Not Showing in iOS 8.x

Question

I am running IOS8.1 on an ipad 2 and when i try and edit the sysex part of control, the keyboard doesn't pop up. Instead I get a dark grey space where the keyboard should be.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks for reporting this. We got news the other day of this bug and are trying to push 1.6.6 out to handle this. It's in Beta now.

Answer 1

Confirmed defect with iOS 8 and MIDI Designer 1.6.5. We've got a fix and it's entering Beta Testing today.

Your options are:

• use an external keyboard. Keys are 0-9, A-F, L, V, space, backspace and enter
• wait (2 weeks max)
• if you're a Lite Unlocked or Pro user, get in touch via Config -> Actions -> Email Us and we'll get you on the Beta Team

Thanks for your patience!
