Description
F8 Control is an app that enables remote control of the ZOOM F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
With it, you can use an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (5th generation and later) as a wireless remote controller for an F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings.
You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge.
Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the iOS device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording.
Features
■ Create monitor mixes easily
-Using the mixer screen that supports multi-touch, you can easily create monitor mixes as though using a traditional mixer.
■ Control an F8/F8n/F8n Pro that is inside a protective case
-During field recording, you can check and control levels using the device in your hand without needing to look into the protective case on the F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
■ Input metadata
-Using the iOS device keyboard, you can input all types of metadata. You can even type long entries without hassle.
■Set the date and time
-The F8/F8n/F8n Pro date and time can be adjusted to match that of the iOS device. This allows you to set the time accurately with ease.
What’s New
Version 2.3.1
The F8n Pro has been added as a supported device.
Ratings and Reviews
Love-hate
Well, it works on my 12" iPad Pro... but it needs more functionality. For example, how about the same metering options (peak and vu) that you offer on the f8. How about a track mute button? How about a track solo button? (I know, the PFL is a sort of solo button, but not the same as track level solo buttons the allow you to easily select which tracks to listen to.) How about customizable track names on the sliders? How about allowing the mic on the phone/iPad to act as a switchable room mic?
Etc etc etc. I also hit a bug that shows up randomly where if I have set the trim on the iPad for (let's say) track 8, then switch screens (for example clicking the menu button) I will hear a click in track 8 and the trim on the iPad track 8 will reset to the trim level set on the physical knob on the f8. I'm willing to pay for this app if zoom is willing to treat it like a first class app.
Needs work but gets the job done
Ive used this app in several different ways with my F8. I wish I could make markers or marker cues list. I once did a factory reset on my device & had to reinstall the bluetooth file too so make sure you have the file handy. Please update!!
Handy and useful supplemental control surface
A nice addition that allows you to use an iOS device to control and configure the F8 mixer series. Doesn’t have 100% of the main unit’s functions but transport control, levels, mixing, and some metadata editing are available. Some features are not available on iOS such as all card functions and full metadata editing, but it’s still a very useful app. Perhaps future versions will have more features and will fully mirror that main unit’s controls.
