Thanks,

nice feature on the 48 pad, you can actually see how long you have to press it. Neat.

from the itunes site :

V1.81 is a maintenance release that fixes several minor issues.It also provides bigger controls for preamp gain and HPF, and meter colouring to match that of the ILIVE surface

I would have liked the “out of memory” issue to be solved. This is not the case…

UPDATE: the memory issue did occur in demo mode, so far not in online mode.

+1 on the memory issue - it would be great if I could run at least one other app without this problem

FWIW,

I just got an iPad2 and it is able to run other apps with MixPad open. So it is a function of the hardware. I would suspect they now have the problem of whether or not to add features with the added memory of the new iPad. If so it will tend to tick off users of the earlier iPad or limit the apps you can run with MixPad. A win/lose situation.

P.S. Thanks to everyone that posted about using an iPad and how it worked out. That’s what I based my decision on and I haven’t regretted it yet. I even typed this on the iPad and am surprised at how fast I can do that already.

Lenova T61, M90, iPad soon I hope.

Same here with the iPad2, seems to run fine with other apps still running. Would really like to see soft keys introduced and have the custom layers hold more than 16 channel strips (24 would be ideal for me) or maybe an iPhone / iPod app that just has 8 soft keys…

I have to say, yamaha doen’t come near mixpad with their Stagemix, and obviously one s a free app while the other is purchased BUT, they did just add scene memory management to stagemix which is pretty damn handy for a lot of us. Hint, hint A&H :wink:

With the new1.81 mixpad version running on a version 1 iPad I was able to also run the iPod music app and stream audio to my airpot express. Didn’t get any out of memory problems but I only tried it for a short time. I could switch between apps and it all seemed fine. From memory when I tried this on v1.80 it did give memory problems fairly quickly. Can anyone else confirm if this is actually different

I’ve been checking out other mixers iPad apps and even though I think A&H’s is way better than the rest the Presonus Studiolive does have one interesting feature. The graphic EQ can be put into a draw mode and as you drag your finger from one fader to the next the sliders jump to where you finger is, sorta like running your hand along a traditional outboard GEQ. I quite like this, the app is free so give it a ago. What’s the chance of getting this implemented on the MixPad app A&H?

Cheers,

Gary.

Double tap frequency to zero frequency ought to be first on the list of gEQ improvements no?

Yes… Suggested this with Editor about 2 years ago.

Just thought the Presonus feature was quite nice that’s all.

Re EQ “Draw” like Presonus - This would be OK but I would prefer the ability to recall eq presets from mixpad - Safer and more accurate for known speaker types. Presonus do have some nice features though - I also like the way you rotate the iPad to get to the full channel strip/processing with every channel available to select down the right side. Nice.

I agree, they are nifty features, but I would rather have access to more editing features on mixpad such as effects parameters, tap tempo + sceneshow and more mixpad custom layouts :smiley:

I missing “copy&paste” for EQ settings and I need access to the iLive tone-generator.

I have been using the ipad app quite a lot recently and after spending the last couple of weeks with it have a few suggestions of my own.

FX editor tabs,

Tap tempo is pretty much essential for me. So would like to see a tap button somewhere or a softkey tab at least.

A superstrip would be handy, maybe utilising the top half of the screen for this and the bottom half for channel faders?

I guess i could also mention that the whole size could be smaller to fit in more faders? For me, the fader dont need to be as big.

Tone gen control would be handy, but not essential for me, i normally work off the faders for walking zones within a venue.

Why is there not a scene page within the app?

Now the most important thing…

When i first start the app up it works perfectly, but occasionally the ipad2 will go into standby if not touched for a while and then i get a “lost wifi” error message within the mixpad app.

Although it is still obviously connected, a few times i have been adjusting something only for it not to do anything. I glance at the surface and notice that although the mixpad behaves like it is connected, it is actually not controlling anything.

So i would love a little update so that there is extra code added for confirming a stable connection between the app and mixrack.

Maybe something as simple as a little green or red light somewhere visible in mixpad?

In summary, i was a little unsure about spending £70gbp on this app, but now its hard to believe i used to carry my macbook around a venue! The ipad app is so simple and effective. It doesnt quite replace the laptop, and it certainly doesnt replace the surface, however it does have its place in saving time and stress if you are on your own trying to soundcheck a band on your own.

I quite like the fact i can easily switch my working position from either onstage, to offstage or even within the top of the tiered seating in an arena!
