M-480 Remote is an application for remotely controlling the Roland M-480 V-Mixer live mixing console. ● This application makes it possible to adjust mixing parameters from a variety of listening points on stage or around the room, away from the M-480 positioned at a fixed location. ● Combined with the easy operation afforded by the iPad's large screen and Multi-Touch interface, this application makes it easy to remotely view and adjust settings. ● It is also equally useful as a sub-display and controller when placed beside the M-480 V-Mixer. Controllable parameters: [Channel] - Preamp Gain - Pan - Solo - Mute - Fader - Sends on Fader - 4-Band Parametric EQ and HPF - EQ Copy/Paste/Undo [Bus] - Pan - Solo - Mute - Fader - 4-Band Parametric EQ - EQ Copy/Paste/Undo [Other] - 31 Band Graphic EQ or 8 Band Parametric EQ - GEQ or PEQ Copy/Paste/Undo - Solo Clear - Scene Recall/Store/Clear Viewable-only parameters: [Channel] - Phantom Power Status - Pad Status - Gain Reduction on Gate - Gain Reduction on Compressor - Name and Color - Meter [Bus] - Gain Reduction on Gate - Gain Reduction on Compressor - Name and Color - Meter [Other] - Scene Lock/Filter/Fade Status - Meter Overview Important notes: * Use with the most recent firmware version of the M-480. * A wireless USB adapter (Roland WNA1100-RL) is required. * A wireless LAN router (Wi-Fi router, etc.) is recommended but if not available, connection can be made directly to the wireless USB adapter in ad-hoc mode. * Because the wireless USB adapter occupies the M-480's USB port, functions that use a USB flash key (such as recording, playback, and backing up settings) are not possible while the wireless USB adapter is connected. * A single iPad can be connected at one time. This application cannot be used concurrently with the M-480 RCS PC/Mac remote application software. ## Key features - Remote mixing parameter adjustment - Viewable channel and bus status - Fader and EQ control - Scene recall and store - Gain reduction monitoring - Meter overview ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/m-480-remote/id555563958/reviews.md ### 1/5 — IOS 17 *2024-06-02, version 1.0.3* App trava e não funciona no IOS 17 ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2023-05-18* 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. ### 1/5 — A great idea gone bad and unsupported *2023-04-09* 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. ### 5/5 — IOS 16 problema *2023-03-11, version 1.0.3* Por favor atualizar o app não conecta e trava no iOS 16 ### 1/5 — No longer connects via ad hoc *2022-08-28* I can no longer get the M-480 to connect once I’m on the WiFi. ### 1/5 — ABSURDOOO!!!! *2016-12-27, version 1.0.3* Lixo!!! Além de ser um dos piores e mais incompletos apps de controle remoto para mesas digitais, parece que não tem ninguém responsável para acompanhamento de atualizações ou fazer melhorias no aplicativo dentro das necessidades dos usuários. Agora com o IOS 10 parou de funcionar, não consigo mais trabalhar com ipad! ABSURDOOO!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Obrigado *2016-12-14, version 1.0.3* Muito Obrigado por atualizar o aplicativo!!!! ### 3/5 — catch up with the rest... *2016-12-08, version 1.0.2* 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... ### 1/5 — IOS 10 fix! *2016-11-01* Please update to work with IOS 10! ### 1/5 — iOS 10 *2016-10-09* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about M ### What is M-480 Remote used for?
