Features include: - standalone command line - presets & palettes - pan & tilt track pad - encoder control - command line history - store multiple connection settings Setup Instructions This app uses both SSH and OSC and these need to be configured on the console. - I recommend connecting your WiFi access point to the Aux network port on your console. - You need to enable Remote Login. Navigate your way to System Preferences -> Sharing and enable Remote Login. - In the Vx76 application, navigate to Settings -> DMX In/OSC and enable DMX In/OSC Enable.
