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.
