Wow… the new PreSonus StudioLive RM32AI coming out will offer 16 simultaneous connections from Ipad, Iphone, Android and Windows 8 tablets.
Like you guys, I LOVE my QU16 and don’t regret my purchase but I REALLY hope their developers are taking notice and have put this on the top of their high priority list.
Hi all,
hope their developers are taking notice and have put this on the top of their high priority list.
It is on top of our list indeed, and I hope to have some news to share next week. Bear with us a few more days.

Whoo-hoo, dreams can come true 
I get mildly concerned about access control when multiple ipads are involved. Even if a muso is on ears so they can only mess with their own mix and not affect the anyone else or the stage noise, and there’s no risk of feedback if their monitor gets too hot because they’re using IEMs and not a wedge, I’d still be concerned that they could inadvertently change a mix other than their own.
Presonus addressed this in their SL series by having all wifi devices go through a computer and then to the mixer, and the computer controlled which devices had access to which mixes. They got a bit of grief for needing to carry a computer and a wifi router just for wifi control, but it worked. On their DL series, Mackie managed to implement access control without a computer between the mixer and the wifi router, but the lockout had to be applied to each individual ipad, and whoever was using said ipad had to be trusted to not go unlocking it. Of course this approach won’t stop anything malicious, but will stop a muso inadvertently switching to the wrong mix.
In my ideal world there would be a tab somewhere in the Setup>Control page on the Qu (possibly integrated into the networking tab) that would list connected devices, and by default they’d have access to nothing. Whoever’s standing in front of the Qu could then configure what mix(es) and controls each device can access. I’ve no idea whether the Qu has the processing power available for this though, still, I’m interested to see what happens. Just having the capability for multiple ipad control will tick a box on quite a few peoples’ wish lists, and will help the Qu compete with its competitors.
While I love my Qu24 the best, I do think Mackie’s DL1608 has nice features with regard to the “lock-out” of control of the i-devices that are connected to the system.
Kinda silly of me to mention this because I am quite confident that A&H has already seen and documented all the various features found on ALL the other manufacturer’s digital mixers with iPad control.
Again, thank you so much Nicola for contributing to this forum’s topics so that we KNOW our voices are being heard!!!
Priceless

Fab to hear!
Given most of the UI, I am anticipating a good job…
Fantastic! I really LOVE my QU16! This will be a GREAT addition.
hmmm… can we get autotune for an effect plugin next? LOL Ok ok, I’ll just go practice my singing
Other boards have solved this problem by adding a lock down feature. Only the administrator can have full function over the board and then can assign various functions or mixes to other members as he/she sees fit.

Nicola. While you’re at it at some point could we get a fix for the GUI on both iPad apps for better fader control? I find the faders not easy to click and move and with small increments. I have tried a few other apps including the new Mackie app for their rack mixer. Much easier to move the faders. Much more precise. Larger buttons with defined arrows. I find I can jump a bunch of Dbs on this one just trying to move one.
If you move away from the fader then the action becomes more precise (although you need to get further away)
I agree with GCumbee,
it is also very aggravating when we swipe and have to “WAIT” for the screen redraw to happen.
Thanks for addressing these issues that are not Apple issues since the Mackie DL1608 is very fast at screen redraw.
Really pleased to hear this!! Great!!

Hmm - does the week start on Monday or Sunday?
Nothing like pre-announcing a really popular feature is there

just a joke, it doesn’t work yet!
That is a mean trick 
yeah… sorry… i’m waiting too …
When someone says “Next week” to me I always give them at least until the end of the week.
My week starts on a Monday, so A&H you’ve got until Sunday 26th October 11:59:59 pm GMT before I start grumbling
Oh yeah, and remember the clocks go back this weekend, so you’ve got an extra hour to provide us with even more new fun stuff this week.
No grumbling, but if the week starts on Sunday, then they gave themselves 14 days, not 7…
Looking forward to this
