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. V1.5.4 - This version works with SQ consoles running firmware V1.5.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 – Works with SQ User Permissions Copy/Paste and Reset functionality Ganging setup AMM control Full control of Signal Generator and assignments 6 custom layers with the ability to copy desk layers All input/output/processing metering Meters and Channel RTA view and control Global filters, scene filters and channel safe 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
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.
Best of the wireless mixing apps
I’ve used them all. Mixing station is a great all-in-one solution. But this app is by far the best IMO. Thanks A&H
One of the better mix apps, two feature requests...
I really enjoy the SQ app, and wish the dLive app was this capable! Two features to round this out a little more: add soft keys to the strip assign and do DCA Spills.
Great tool but needs wider faders
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.
Great tool for remote mixing
We have had to do Drive-in Church over FM radio since the state allowed us to. The SQ7 is in a trailer with the rest of the tech, but I mix from my truck listening to the FM broadcast. I can do everything I need to on the iPad.
Please update the app to work with Apple Pencil 2
The app is overall very good, but please allow the Apple Pencil to adjust faders and EQ.
Beware Apple Pencil Users
The new 1.4.0 version of the app does not work well with Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro. Most buttons work, but faders (channel & EQ) cannot be moved with the pencil. I hope this gets fixed so I can update the review. It’s a great app otherwise.
