StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha TF 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. * TF Firmware V1.10 or later is required to use the TF StageMix.

L-20 Control is an app that enables wireless control of the ZOOM LIVETRAK L-20/L-20R. If a BTA-1* or other wireless adapter (sold separately) for ZOOM products is connected to an L-20/L-20R, an iPad with this app can be used as a remote controller for the L-20/L-20R. *With a BTA-1, transmission up to 10 m is possible when used indoors without obstacles. L-20 Control can be used at a distance from the L-20/L-20R. For example, it can be use to mix while listening from a seat in the audience, or an iPad with the app can be provided to a performer to use for monitor mixing while the engineer uses the L-20 itself to mix for the main speakers.
