DISCLAIMER: FX Remote is an independent, third-party utility app developed by SR Nix Corp. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with Behringer, Midas, Music Tribe, or any of their affiliates. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. FX Remote is a professional, gig-ready utility app designed specifically for live sound engineers and musicians. Built to communicate seamlessly with X-series and M-series digital mixers, it provides a highly focused, high-contrast interface for managing your most critical effects on the fly. Whether you are mixing from the front of house or controlling your own monitor rig on stage, FX Remote ensures your delay and reverb trails are always perfectly timed and easily managed without menu-diving. Key Features: Smart Tap Tempo: A massive, easy-to-hit Tap Tempo button instantly calculates your BPM and syncs the delay time directly to your mixer's FX engine via OSC. Instant FX Mutes: Four dedicated, high-visibility buttons to toggle your FX returns on and off instantly. Global Kill Switch: A master "Kill All" toggle to instantly mute all effects between songs or during stage banter, and seamlessly restore them when the next song starts. Gig-Ready Interface: A dark, high-contrast industrial UI designed specifically to be readable in dark venues and outdoor stages without blinding the user. Universal Console Support: fully compatible with X32, XR18, XR16, XR12, M32 and MR18 series digital consoles. Universal Layout: Adapts beautifully to both iPhone and iPad, automatically adjusting for portrait or landscape orientations. Multiple band members can use the app simultaneously. Note: FX Remote requires a local Wi-Fi connection to the same network as your digital mixing console. Your device and the mixer must be connected to the same WIFI network. Make sure to allow the app local network access the first time you run it.

StagePlot Guru's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
