Abandonware

It used to work, but Roland has exited the business and all their software is going obsolete. The remote app crashes on modern versions of iPadOS, the REAC driver does not run on modern versions of Windows, and the V-Mixer MIDI implementation is not publicly documented for anybody else to write control software.

The serial interface is documented, but it’s much less bandwidth with much less useful information than the MIDI interface, and also the mixing console’s firmware is buggy. The device does not comply with the specification.

A great idea gone bad and unsupported

I’ve used the app for years with an ad-hoc network. The M480 remote is now completely unreliable. It works in part but is so buggy it has become unusable. Roland has completely left the sound mixer business and those of us who invested tens of thousands of dollars in what used to be be a flagship are left with zero support. Roland has left a nasty taste in our mouths.

No longer connects via ad hoc

I can no longer get the M-480 to connect once I’m on the WiFi.

catch up with the rest...

Needs access to the delay time on outputs otherwise it's useless when setting up a multi speaker system in a theatre. Take a look at the Yamaha and Digico apps...
Can't connect to the desk anymore since iPad updates... Tells me the desk is there but will not connect in ad hoc or through a router... But I guess you'll do nothing as you've dropped the M480 and only care about the M5000 now...

IOS 10 fix!

Please update to work with IOS 10!

iOS 10

It is absolutely frustrating when you go to use an app that you have used a 1000 times and find that this app no longer works. It is even more frustrating when you try to use it for an event and it no longer works. A company such as Roland should really be on top of apples iOS updates to make sure that the products they put on the market place actually work.

IOS 10 support missing...

Hopefully this will catch up with Apple on current IOS. Worked great on IOS 9. Would really like to move ahead with the technology and maintain functionally. Currently carrying an old ipad for just this one function. All my other vendors have made the update.

Not supported in iOS 10

Before updating my iPad to iOS 10, I would have rated 5 stars. Unfortunately I updated only to find that the app will no longer connect to the sound board. If you depend on this app, do not update to iOS 10! I'm hoping Roland updates the app so that people like me can continue to benefit from this great app.

No iOS10 support

As of now, this app does not work

This app is great

A change I would make (not exactly sure if on other device but with me) is when you hit solo it should be able to hear that soloed channel via headphones into iPad. Other than that it is Great.
