Elegant use of hardware / software
I don't think the 01v has had an update in at least 10 years and here is the software side to remotely control over wifi this mixer.
The hardware side is UMMU box rev2 and together with a couple midi cables the 01v is controllable over Wifi. Not all the available parameters on the 01v are available for control but volume, aux sends, fx sends, EQ and returns and mutes are all available. This allows an aging but very capable 16 ch mixer to have a new life as a live mixer for a minimal investment. All the reverb, delay, and compression needs to be set manually but those are recallable settings once you get a room or band tweaked in and save the library
Thank you John Milner for the time you've put into this excellent product

Yamaha 01V
I have been using this app for a while it's great I control a Yamaha 01V while I'm playing with an iPod very responsive haven't had issues.
Great app
Great app
Does exactly what it says…
I've been using this for several months now with the Ummo box and it's very good for remote control of the 01V. You can control levels and eq etc and it's fantastic for setting up monitor mixes whilst standing next to the musician with your iPad.
My only gripe, and this is because of the limitations of the midi protocol and nothing to do with the app or developers, is that it doesn't handshake perfectly with the desk - so if you recall a memory, or change something on the desk when the iPad isn't connected, then the remote software doesn't know about the change and you end up "out of sync". As I say, this is because of midi limitations, but is frustrating if you are used to using some of the factory remote software for other desks.
But all in all, this is a really useful and well developed app, with John Milner offering excellent tech support, it is very good at what it does.

Great app!
This is a great tool for anybody still using the original Yamaha 01v but looking for modern features such as remote mixing. I love my 01v but as I am both the guitarist and the sound engineer in my band I usually have to do a lot of running on and off stage during sound check as the mixer is pretty much always set up side of stage. This app stops all of that as I can now mix from off stage. This was easy to set up and works a treat!
There is one slight issue. The app does not like the multi tasking feature of iOS - if the app gets moved to the back ground, it crashes. I have emailed the developer and he has assured me they are aware of the problem and are working on an update to resolve it.
I have also asked if it is possible to add a feature where you can control dynamics and effects parameters using the remote app. Again, the developer has assured me this will get added to the app at some point, he just can't guarantee when that will be.
This is a great app and I can see me keeping my 01v quite a while longer now that I can mix remotely from off stage.

Great app for great a product
I use this app with the ummu box when the desk is side of stage. It works great and really gives the o1v a new lease of life. The on phone support from John was great. I would recommend this app along with the ummu box for anyone that doesn't want to spend lots of cash on a new desk that supports iPad operation.

Great concept but its not reliable
Great if it was stable. When it works then its mostly as expected. The interface doesn't always respond to touch and there's the random latency.
I was thinking about giving 1 star.

Absolutely brilliant
Fantastic app!
I had a little difficulty setting it up at first, but I sent a message to John and got a speedy & helpful response that had the app up and running with my desk straight away.
I love it! If only for the looks on people's faces when I ran the desk from the bar when doing a pub gig the other night.

New life to an old mixer!
I've got a couple of these and one has the adat card installed. By itself it's a very powerful 24ch console, with the app it's a lot cooler.
It's setup similar to the 01v with pages for main auxes, selected channel and effects. The only thing you can't adjust is the dynamics but that's not a deal breaker for me anyway.
I've used this interface as well as touchOSC and by far this is smoother, the amount of stuff you can tweak with touch osc isn't nearly what this can do with sysex.
Couple points. Use a good ($30+) USB to midi cable, cheap ones can't handle the longer data strings.
Any cheap pc running the UMMU server software will.do just fine. It's a small program, easy to instal.they make a wifi midi box which eliminates the need for a PC/UMMU server, might be worth it and definitely more reliable.
The iPad and PC must connected to the same wifi radio. And the UMMU server must have the same IP address as the iPad. This is pretty easy.
There is a help page and it's pretty good.
I had 2 major drawbacks setting this up: bad USB to midi cable, and a wireless router I bought was defective out of the box. Both have been replaced and all is good. Hope that helps.

Ov1 remote
Great little app works amazing on my iPhone and using the ummu box there is no need for a second laptop. Customer service second to non always willing to help. I'm looking forward to future upgrades to add more useful functionality.
We'll done on creating this app there is nothing else out there like this makes mixing from side of stage a breeze. Now I can walk round to front of house for final level adjustments and not have to run back to the desk every time.

Excellent bit of kit
It's a really good bit of software, very useful for setting up monitors or having to mix from the side of stage! It has a few bits which don't quite work as they should do. However there are regular updates and the guy who wrote the software is more than happy to give support. He also is improving it all the time! Buy this app it's awesome!

Works Great!
I have already used this app in a live setting twice and I have only had it for a few day. It took me a while to get it up and running but that was because I was using a cheap/bad midi to USB interface. I ended up buying the m-audio interface and it works perfectly.
The developer was very responsive and answered all of my questions via email.
For a board that is several years old this is an app that I would highly recommend. Make sure you save your scenes on both the iPad and 01v board! That way they will always stay synced.

Life changer!
This app has had completely changed the way the quality of my events are. I can now leave my 01v with the band, and mix everything live from the audience without having to run back to the mixer to change something.
The app does have a couple issues, but after talking to the author (great, fast response by the way), it seems as it might be an issue with dsmidiwifi's packet loss.
Absolutely LOVE this app!

Great app
Very useful app that does what it needs too very well. Just a few small niggles... The library screen freezes so I can't save scenes, the display always shows 'home' as selected (even when editing Auxs which can be confusing) and for some reason when altering aux mixes (which is what I use the app for mostly) the channel 16 fader controls the master fader so you can't actually access that channel. Having said that, it's a great way to set up monitor mixes on stage or to mix FOH when the desk is on stage!
