SQ-MixPad allows control of an SQ console over a wired or wireless network. It can be used simultaneously and independently of the SQ surface, so it can provide supplementary local control as well as giving the engineer the freedom to move around and mix from different listening positions. Three devices running SQ-MixPad can be connected and used at the same time as using the SQ surface, giving four separate points for control of all mixes. An ‘Offline’ mode allows for SQ show files to be edited and managed without connection to a console.  V1.6.0 - This version works with SQ consoles running firmware V1.6.x It provides the following: Level and Routing Control - Send levels, panning, assignments, pre/post settings and mutes from all channels to all mixes Master send levels for all mixes Send and Return levels for FX Routing screen with overview and full control DCA and Mute Group control, including assignments Processing Control - Input channel Preamp/DEEP Preamp Model/HPF/Gate/Insert/PEQ/Compressor Mix channel Ext In/Insert/GEQ/PEQ/Compressor DEEP compressors and GEQ’s FX Parameters and FX Return PEQ Access to all Libraries Patching – Full patching matrix for all Inputs/Outputs and Tie Lines ‘1-to-1’ diagonal block patching Offline Mode – Edit and manage shows, scenes and libraries without a console connection Transfer entire shows between MixPad and an SQ Share/store shows to cloud or email (when available on the device) Other features include – Scene Management Global filters, scene filters and channel safe control Works with SQ User Permissions Copy/Paste and Reset functionality Ganging setup AMM control and setup SQ-Drive Control (Online) Full control of Signal Generator and assignments 6 custom layers with the ability to copy or use/follow desk layers All input/output/processing metering Meters and Channel RTA view and control Mixer config and role setup including ‘Listen Level’ PAFL setup and selection Channel naming/colour SoftKey and MIDI strips setup and use Follow Channel/Mix Select option

Great tool but needs wider faders
08/30/2020

MrRed7
Love the ability to use the app remotely within our crowds. Is there a way to widen each channel so that each channel isn’t so narrow? I have fat fingers and the app isn’t intuitive for those of us with larger hands. Can we make the channels wider? Currently there are 16 channels on the screen. It would be best if we could at least have no more than 8 or a way to adjust the width of each channel.

Hi, thank you for the review. You should be able to adjust the number of on-screen faders with Setup>MixPad>Banks>"Visible Channels in bank". If this doesn't solve your problem, however, please contact us using support.allen-heath.com so we can look into this further with you. Thanks!

Awesome! An app laid out and easy to use.

I can do everything on this app I can do at the console. It is laid out well and very user friendly. No flipping through layers to get to what you need. I use this app several times a week and it allows me to mix from any seat in the house. I wish the Midas app was as easy to get around on.

Does not work with Voiceover

I am a blind user working with Voiceover on the Ipad. When I open this app, Voiceover just says “Mixpad” and provides no access to any controls including the user agreement. My husband and I are both skilled audio engineers and this in unacceptable for a company that boasts concern with accessibility. Please do much better, A&H. If you don’t know how, we are available to help.
