Hi! I’d like to get a few more characters to identify my inputs. I don’t want to writte a whole paragraph in there, but 6 characters is ridiculous, it’s less than the 45 years old MS-DOS 8 characters limit! Is it unreasonnable to want an input name like “Voc Steve” or “Lead Gtr” ?

Good suggestion. It goes for output names as well.

YES!!! I was very disappointed when using my new SQ (after a QU) that the naming was still so mean.

I strongly agree with this; 6 characters feels absurdly and needlessly restrictive.
Also being limited to alphanumeric characters only (no spaces, dashes, symbols or punctuation) is equally frustrating and is a legibility and accessibility nightmare.
There are so many use cases which call for more specificity in channel naming than is currently allowed.

Just came across this when setting up scenes for the first time - even 2 extra characters would be handy. Also on mine via ipad I can’t get non alphanumeric characters to work, is that a feature limitation?

Probably related to the 8char filenames on the SD-Card, a 2-digit index and 6 characters.
So 1990

It’s 2026. Please update this. If it’s related to FAT32 storage on the SD Card, consider upgrading to support and/or require an exFAT formatted card.

Yes !
The 6-character limit, combined with the inability to use dot, spaces, or hyphens, is the biggest limitation of this console for me.
It’s by far the first thing I’d like to see addressed in a hypothetical future upgrade.
