ip8 - some thoughts

Hey folks!

So I’m a few weeks in using an ip8 as an additional bank of faders/controls with a c1500 at a broadcast station. Some initial thoughts about things I’d like to see in future updates:

  1. Unity calibration line does not match up. I know Wolfgang mentioned his started working fine after a while… ours still has not. Alternatively - a way to calibrate faders on that unit.

  2. Sends on faders! I’ve got mine mapped out so sends on faders are pretty easily accessible on the c1500 side, but hitting, for instance, a mix button on a vocal and having all my FX sends flip to fader on the ip8 would be infinitely more useful.

  3. Shortcut for 0/-inf (reset plus nudge up/down on any dLive surface.)

  4. Faders mappable to fx unit/compression/etc, parameters (for selected track.)

I am involved with Opera & Symphony and use the IP8 at a seat in the venue to manage levels, so 2 more requests:

  1. I need it dimmer than what it currently is, even to the point of allowing the brightness steps to be a range of “very dim”;

  2. “Quite mode” on faders so they move not quite as aggressive and are whisper quiet.

@ Jay, you know, you could probably try removing the caps and putting a tiny thin piece of felt under them, then put the caps back on. Might help dampen that noise a little. …or that might just be a stupid idea. (IE - How long will the felt last before it sends little particles into the fader slot?)
