S6L is not supported at this time. Mix Magazine “Product of the Week” 18-Jan-2019. Watch the demo video! (see Developer Website). Version 2.0 is a major update introducing the VCS - Virtual Control Surface - an abstraction of the entire console laid out in channel strips like a traditional analog mixing console. The interface is simple to use and easily adapted on the fly to suit many different workflow requirements, providing both the visual and functional benefits of seeing more than just the selected channel. All features of Version 1 are still available, with improvements. The complete console functionality is accessible via a simple, efficient and precise ‘intelligent’ user interface using the console’s own graphics. With a working knowledge of the console there will be almost no learning curve. The User Guide has been extensively updated and contains a lot of new information. Reading the documentation for the VCS is strongly recommended! A Connection Troubleshooting Guide has also been added which may prove useful to some. Both guides are built in to the app and are also available from the Developer Website. ● Operate multiple controls simultaneously ● Portrait mode, Landscape mode and VCS - completely different workflow alternatives ● VCS includes special editors for EQ, dynamics, graphic EQ and matrix mixer ● Channel Selector tool for easy location and selection of channels ● Channel names are displayed in Fader Blocks and all VCS channels ● Aux and Group names are displayed at the same time as values in the VCS ● Custom keyboard includes ESC, TAB and Fn keys ● Numeric entry keypad for all value fields ● Single action copy and paste ● Full control of snapshot functionality ● Full control of patchbay ● Full control of plug-ins ● Complete control of file functions and console settings ● Complete control of ... everything!!
