StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha CL digital mixing console 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.

M-200i Remote is an application for controlling the Roland M-200i V-Mixer live mixing console. * This application makes it possible to adjust numerous mixing parameters from a variety of listening points on the stage or around the room, away from the M-200i which is typically positioned in 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 view and control all key M-200i features. * In addition to remote control, physical buttons and knobs on the M-200i can be synchronized with the M-200i Remote parameters. * The M-200i can be controlled simultaneously from up to three iPads: a) via the dedicated dock cable, b) the Roland WNA-1100-RL dedicated USB wireless adapter, and c) a wireless LAN device. Depending on the size and complexity of the environment, an operator can choose any or all of these connection types.
