## What is GLD Remote?

This version is for GLD systems running V1.6 firmware.

We recommend that you disable any automatic updating to avoid unexpected incompatibility with the firmware version your mixer is running.

GLD Remote is an engineer’s mixing tool providing wireless mobile control for the Allen & Heath GLD digital live sound mixing console.  It gives you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed.

GLD Remote and the GLD console can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the console to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors on stage.  Several iPads can be connected, each providing independent control.

GLD Remote is intended for working with the mix and channel processing.  Things you can control:

-  Fader levels, mutes, pan
-  Aux and FX sends, routing and Pre/Post switching
-  Matrix sends, routing and Pre/Post switching
-  DCA masters and assignments
-  Preamp Gain, Pad and 48V
-  Trim and Polarity
-  HPF, Gate, PEQ, GEQ, Comp, Delays
-  FX tap tempo, Global tap tempo
-  RTA function
-  Channel names and colour
-  PAFL select
-  Full signal metering
-  Custom strips for personalised channel layout
-  SoftKeys

GLD Remote is not intended for system setup or memory access.  The following functions are not available at the iPad:

-  AMM (automatic mic mixer) setup
-  FX parameter control (apart from tap tempo)
-  Input source, insert and output patchbay
-  Channel ganging
-  Aux source routing options
-  Library, Scene and Show memory store and recall
-  Scene Recall Filters and Safes edit
-  Signal Generator
-  Talkback
-  System configuration, options and preferences
-  User Profiles

Requirements

An Allen & Heath GLD mixing console running V1.6 version firmware, with a suitable wireless router (wireless access point) connected to its Network port.  The GLD console and Remote firmware maintenance version number do not need to be identical, for example Remote V1.60 would run on GLD V1.61. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information and to download the latest GLD console firmware.

## Key features

- Wireless mobile control for GLD mixers
- Control fader levels, mutes, and pan
- Manage Aux, FX, and Matrix sends

### 1/5 — No longer connecting

*2018-03-08*

The app worked great on my iPad Pro for months, but now I am receiving a ‘Mixer version error’ for version 1.60.  Please fix.

### 4/5 — Audio Tech

*2018-01-09*

Updated to the latest version 1.6, after having version 1.5, in December 2017. Lost the ability the change the mix with the blue button on the IPad. The blue mix button is not even there now. Doesn't make sense to have the app to do everything else, but not make changes to the aux mixes. You were able to do this before the latest update.

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2017-09-25*

This app has worked well with our churches GLD 112 on an iPad Air 2. Simple interface that gives us what we needed to run remote. Timely update to support IOS 11

### 5/5 — Worked great when downloaded correctly

*2017-04-30*

The app interface is intuitive and it was easy to get it up and running. However, v1.50 is not compatible with mixer version v1.40 (rev 13807 ) unfortunately, so it is no longer working, but I hope the problem will be fixed.

Update: I was able to download an older version of the app using a tedious process (Google: "Download old iOS apps"). However, it would make more sense to have a version selector of some kind in the app.

### 3/5 — Great App Until iOS 10

*2017-03-06*

This app has been very useful to the workers in my sound room at my church. It's simple, and doesn't have a great deal of features; but it has features where it counts. The issue is, the app hasn't been updated since 2015, and the iOS 10 update is causing some sort of compatibility issue. This issue is causing the app to lag in network connectivity. It's usable, but nowhere nearly as well as it did pre-iOS 10

### 1/5 — Ugghhh

*2016-04-10*

Loses connection constantly. Very rarely do channels reflect board settings. Wish it worked, one of the reasons we bought this board was for the iPad connectivity.

### 2/5 — Great, but...

*2015-10-07*

Great app.   Easy to use BUT (and this is a big BUT) we created user profiles on our console to lock down access to certain features (EQs, etc.) for certain users.  Works great on the console, but the app still gives full access to all features.  Completely defeats the purpose of creating user profiles to begin with...

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2015-10-04*

Since the last update several months ago I have NOT been able to connect to our GLD80. It worked fine prior to the last update. The app will not find/recognize the board. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Come on A&H

*2015-06-06*

I like the app but having no backward compatibility is not acceptable. I am sure that most people allow their iOS device to auto-update apps and were therefore (not) pleasantly surprised when GLD remote no longer connected to their 1.4x board. Luckily I had an old version sitting in iTunes that I was able to copy over. I would suggest some level of backward compatibility or a way to easily provide the old versions for people who still need it. Not everyone is ready to jump on new board firmware. We need time for the bugs to be worked out.

### 5/5 — Broke connection to GLD-80

*2015-05-20*

The latest (1.50) update broke the connection to our GLD-80. It sees the board, but does not progress to the user login. (Same issue with GLD OneMix.) I wouldn't post this here, but the website has no facility for iOS app support.

Update: I was able to roll back to v1.4.1 of the app and re-connect to the board. [4/25/2015]

Update: The developer is now indicating in the app's description that the app *requires* firmware version 1.50 on your board. That's different than *support for* that version, which the update states. [5/19/2015]

(Rating remains at five stars, because the app is great—when it works.)
