Would be nice for CQ18t screen and also MixPad.
-thxs!
Pardon? Please explain.
Just thinking it would be advantageous to have an option that would lock a screen on the CQ or ipad to prevent accidental changes, inadvertent touches, cleaning, drying if it gets moisture on the screen, etc⌠Not necessarily a password protected field, but just a button to tap (like a mute button - but global) that freezes all states and keeps everything operational in that state while locked. Tap it again and it unfreezes a lock and allows normal functionality and changes. This may not be a feature others see as desirable but thinking out loud as I work with my CQ18t and ipad. As a guitar player it is interesting with callouss on my finger tips how different quality touch screens respond. I also note if my fingers may be slightly moist, picking up a drink that sweats etc⌠I have to be mindful of my effort to mix/adjust on glass. Whether its a phone or something else⌠sometimes I want to clean the glass to create a smudge free surface to help keep things pure and clean. Hope this helps, just a thinking out loud as I chewed on this myself. Thanks! Hope that makes senseâŚ

I think the âfreeze track statesâ would be useful on the main fader page for things like cleaning and preventing accidental changes to the mix.
However, I think this can be taken a step further with a âLock mixerâ function. This would be on the main page and would require a password to unlock. Before locking, the user can be asked if they want the mix to be muted or remain as it is.
I really like your idea of freeing track states without muting them, I hope they implement it in an update.
Best,

I love that A&H added the âLock Screenâ feature.
But I really ask myself, why not with a password? I mean, yeah, is it really always useful? Maybe sometimes I just want to save myself from accidental changes.
But in my opinion, why not add the possibility of setting a password? Just as an optional setting. So if you donât set a password, you can unlock it without a further click. Like it is right now.
However, if you set a password, then you need to enter it before unlocking.
For example, sometimes I am at small events where the mixer is not always within my sight. And if there are some people who think it is funny to press some buttons, then a password would be very handy.
So I would really appreciate it if they could add a password feature to the lock screen.
Very good input, +1 from me.
Other brand uses multiple key press action.
+1 Please add password option to the current lock screen feature.

Itâs indeed nice that a lock screen has been included in this firmware update.
A pin code (4 to 6 digits) is indeed desirable. It only takes 1 âcrazyâ person to press unlock and then throw away all the settings. You donât want that, of course.
So for me, and many others, a pin code will be a nice option in the new firmware update.
@SQuser Thank you very much for the above reply, perhaps I should have quoted that my comments related to the CQ series which has the has the latest releases. I got the information after searching through the Allen and Heath manuals and this chat thread.

I would love to be corrected if I have this wrong. Would love it if the CQ also had the same security âoptionsâ as the SQ. Was thinking about getting the CQ-18T but are being forced to go for the CQ0-20B just that it has not buttons and can not do anything unless you have the app and a network connection.So this I think would be a bit more secure desk.
Hi guys & Girls so the lock screen. my thoughts . its a great idea to have a deterrent on screen but anyone can unlock this option very easily can this have a 4 pin code option added to the CQ model for better security?
