Soundcraft ViSi Remote 3.6.2 is an iOS application that allows remote control of Soundcraft Vi, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Expression and Si Impact mixing consoles wirelessly from an iPad device using no additional hardware other than a wireless router connected to the Harman HiQnet® Ethernet port of the console.
With ViSi Remote you are free to roam the venue and adjust mixes and other audio parameters directly from the iPad.
Applications:
• Optimise the front of house mix from anywhere in the room
• Set mic gains and 48V from the stage
• Adjust monitor levels while standing next to the artist
• Adjust channel strip settings remotely from the console
• Use to extend the fader count of an existing control surface
• Use in standalone (demo) mode for familiarisation with console functions
• Control a network of consoles, e.g., FOH and Monitor
• Provide a separate surface for DMX functionality (Si Performer only)
• Allow multiple users on the same console to control their own mixes
• Have a global metering overview or “meter bridge” as an extension of the console

Ever since updating to si impact firmware 2.0 our venue has experienced freezes with the meters on a very consistent basis as well as occasional connection losses to the board. This makes the remote unusable in a live sound situation. Very disappointing that this hasn't been immediately fixed. Two different replies from soundcraft themselves one stating they were well aware of the glitch and the second denying there was any issues, then admitting it after email exchanges. Additionally, mute group access is a must with a remote app where you are working a good distance from the stage during set up and use mutes to keep iPod music going while dialing in mixes on stage. Also at least tap tempo for delay fx would be smart. And mainly where is the RTA? Almost every other mixer app has one. Why a $500 board and app and not a $2500?

Works well with newer iPads
The Audio Distillery
I’ve been using this app on my SiExpression3 for several years. Metering was slow, sometimes my adjustments would not take on the console, when I had 2 additional users mixing their own monitors it would freeze on the oldest iPad in our group. Last year I bought a new iPad and router with mumimo support. What a difference. Metering is very smooth now. Even when I had 53 inputs over the holidays. I have 3 guys mixing their own iems on visi listen, and me using visi remote. Works great now. STILL the app lacks basics...NO MUTE GROUPS. NO ACCESS to ROUTING or other menu functions. Yes, I’ve worked on A&E dLives, SQs, QLs, Yamahas, plenty of others that have better apps. But for the price point, this works for me. If Soundcraft would open up access to the system settings and add a MUTE group feature in the app, I would give it 5stars.
Sound check only

I am a volunteer as the sound engineer at a small theater. We just got an si impact. I am responsible for a couple of holiday shows and then a handful of other live bands, theater performances, and talks through the year. Not a professional. I experienced the sound board locking when using the app. This is a major concern. I’ll live within the limitation of knowing I get 5-10 minutes on the stage before needing to close the app or risk having to reboot the soundboard. Hoping upgrading firmware will fix this. (Minus 1 star or more)Last night during rehearsal, I used the group mute feature on the board and then went down to the stage to help the musician balance the monitors. One of the mics stopped working. Ran upstairs to the booth to find the sound board had the channel muted but the app said it was on. Lesson learned not to trust the app output. With our previous board and remote tool, I could run the show from anywhere as the app gave me access to nearly everything. My first impression is the si impact has more features and the app seems to lack more things than the presonus versions. I may only notice the missing things in the app because I am trying to do more with the board/app. The mechanical faders help a lot when going back and forth between app and board. However, I’d like to have the app reflect the fader pages and the order I’ve set up channels. I’d like to be able to use the mute groups or cues from the app as for many theater shows that’s what I am primarily doing away from the soundboard. Lots of other wish list items. That said, I can set main and monitor levels and tweak the eq from anywhere. But I expect I will have to run shows with this board from up in the booth with the actual board and not from the floor with the iPad app which is why it only gets 3 stars from me.
Fader reorder

My issue is. If i have piano on socket/fader 3 and singer on socket/fader 4, and I decide to remove piano from socket/fader 3, and put singer into socket/fader 3, then when I copy/paste fader 4 to fader 3 the app will see that the piano is gone but it still thinks singer is on fader 4. So when I adjust volume on fader 3 on the app It actually adjust fader 4 on the console. In other words I removed the piano mic from the socket. I then moved the singer mic over to socket/fader 3 on the console, yet the app still shows and operates socket/fader 4 and the mic had been removed from socket 4. We need mute groups and solo. How about a good walkthrough video on how to use the features of this app for those that are learning this for their church for example?
• Added new MUTE GROUPS control panel, accessed by MUTES button in top right of GUI, allowing remote activation of the 4 or 8 Mute Group Master console buttons from the iPad. (Requires Si software V2.2.1 or higher and Vi software 6.4.5.340 or higher).
• Improvements to the setup workflow for the USER fader tab: This now includes a drag & drop setup UI, allowing easier selection and addition of channels to the tab, re-ordering or deletion using drag & drop, and the ability to copy the complete INPUTS tab contents to the USER tab, which can then be edited to remove or re-order channels.
• Channel names are now displayed in the USER tab Setup list.
• Leaving the Bus Select page by pressing the LRC button now returns to the USER Inputs tab if it was previously selected.
• Fixed an issue with text readability in Dark Mode.
