DriveRack PA2 Control vs Ui MIDI mixer

The DriveRack® PA2 Control app is the ultimate way to control the PA2 hardware. The DriveRack® PA2 provides all the processing you need between your mixer and amplifiers to optimize and protect your loudspeakers. With the PA2 app you can control all aspects of the hardware through a network (WiFi) connection allowing you to setup system from any location. DriveRack® PA2 continues the DriveRack® legacy of great-sounding, powerful, and affordable loudspeaker management processors.

With Soundcraft® Ui MIDI mixer app you can comfortably assign "virtual" faders from your Ui mixer to the hardware MIDI controller using built-in "learn" function. You can now control all MICS, LINE inputs, SUBS, DRUMS or GUITAR volume (reverb, chorus, delay ...) using your hardware MIDI equipment like MIDI keyboards (with faders or knobs) or MIDI pedal etc. without touching the display! You can remotely, comfortably and quickly enable/disable FX effects with your hardware buttons on your MIDI controller.
