The MixRemote app for iPad allows full remote control of the M series of digital audio mixers, through their internal WiFi Access Point. The M series digital mixers are compact, self-contained, feature-packed faderless units which are ideal in all cases where live music is being performed. Several internal digital effects, both in send and in insert, are available for maximum flexibility. Several iPads can connect to the internal WiFi Access Point and manage all the available parameters. No audio is transferred between the iPad and the digital mixer, and all features of the digital mixers are accessible with this app, without requiring an additional computer for specific settings.

RIVAGE PM StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha RIVAGE PM series digital mixing system functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer. The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show setup. Although StageMix is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on stage, its range of features is continually expanding, allowing it to be used for a wider variety of remote control functions.
