SSL Live TaCo vs Qu MixPad

The SSL Live TaCo (Tablet Control) mix app provides wireless tablet control of SSL Live consoles. Designed for both engineers and artists, the app can be limited to control an individual Aux mix or easily unlocked to control all path fader levels and path controls. A clear graphical interface with long throw faders and intuitive multi-touch control provides optimum touch screen mixing in critical live environments. In Engineer Mode, TaCo can remotely control all path parameters including fader levels, mute status, path EQ/Filters, path Compressor/Gate and input gain as well as Effects Unit parameters. In Aux Mode, TaCo is locked to control only send levels to a specific Aux mix, chosen from the console. Up to 10 tablets can be connected simultaneously for providing mix capabilities to each performer on stage. Compatibility: Requires an L200, L300, L500 or L500 Plus console running V4.7 software or higher. A wireless router or access point is required.

Qu-MixPad release V1.2.0: This version is for Qu-5 / Qu-5D, Qu-6 / Qu-6D, Qu-7 / Qu-7D mixers running V1.2.* firmware. Please note: It is NOT compatible with Qu-16, Qu-24, Qu-32, Qu-Pac or Qu-SB mixers. Qu-MixPad allows control of a Qu digital mixing console over a wired or wireless network. It can be used simultaneously and independently of the Qu surface, so it can provide supplementary local control as well as giving the engineer the freedom to move around and mix from different listening positions. Two devices running Qu-MixPad can be connected and used at the same time as using the Qu surface, giving three separate points for control of all mixes. It provides the following: Level and Routing Control - Send levels, panning/balance, assignments, pre/post settings and mutes from all channels to all mixes Output send levels for all mixes Send and Return levels for FX DCA and Mute Group control, including assignments Processing Control - Input channel Preamp/DEEP Preamp Model/HPF/Gate/Expander/Insert/PEQ/Compressor Mix channel Insert/Feedback Assistant/GEQ/PEQ/Compressor DEEP compressors and GEQ’s FX Parameters and FX Return PEQ Access to all Libraries Other features include – Over the air firmware update Scene and Cue List Management Global filters, scene filters and channel safe control Works with Qu User Permissions Copy/Paste and Reset functionality Full control of Signal Generator and assignments Qu-Drive controls for stereo USB or multichannel SD recordings 4 custom layers with the ability to copy or use/follow desk layers All input/output/processing metering Channel RTA Mixer config including stereo linking and mix type PAFL setup and selection Channel naming/colour SoftKey and MIDI strips setup and use Follow Channel/Mix Select option Offline Mode – Edit and manage shows, scenes and libraries without a console connection Transfer entire shows between MixPad and a Qu Share/store shows to cloud or email (when available on the device) Legacy Mode - App can connect to a previous major release of firmware with limited functionality
