Offline Editor

Any idea of a timeframe for the offline editor? I’m currently out on tour and getting some very funny looks bringing the SQ into my hotel room to make changes. :slight_smile:

in fact I have a gld with broken dislay … and the sq6 is far away from the gld carettistics. it would not be bad to have at least the editor for the work I have to do with the new but limited sq6 !!
waiting for the warranty service to repair it

Hi LongWelsh,

The editor for SQ is a large project that is a long way off.
In the meantime, we are looking at adding some offline functionality to SQ-MixPad to allow setup away from the console.

Thanks,
Keith.

Hey Keith,

this feature sounds great! Preparing a scene on a tablet would be perfect for the touring engineer… I was hoping it comes with 1.3. :wink:

Regards,
Alex.

Thanks, Keith,

Can we get some more info about this topic?

We’re getting a lot of traffic over at the ProSoundWeb forums.

We’d be interested in when, and what offline capabilities the iPad app might have.

Thanks!

Hi Keith,

Some offline functionality for the SQ-MixPad app would definitely be helpful. But regarding the full offline editor, any chance we can get some definition of “long way off”, as in, next 6 months, or next 12 months etc? If not, I understand, but figure it can’t hurt to ask.

Thanks for all you and the A&H team do!

@akiwerski ,

The reason we avoid giving ETA’s on firmware of software is because they are always subject to development and test time, so I cannot give a definition, but obviously this is quite a large undertaking.
Hence the decision to look at adding the offline functionality to the app, to give everyone the main things they’re after sooner rather than later!

Cheers,
Keith.

@keithjah ,

Thank you for the reply! I definitely understand the hesitation. I’m pulling the trigger on a new SQ-7 with DX168 stage boxes early next week, so I am glad to see some offline functionality heading to the app soon.

Again, thanks for all you and the A&H team do!

Cheers,

Alex K.

+1 too… any idea of the time frame for just the updated iPad app?

5 months ago?
There are still a few thing issues stopping myself from upgrading to an SQ

I wish there were something. A big part of my market is theatrical and at this point I’m watching my customers actively look elsewhere due to the missing editor. I had one choose a used O1V96i over the SQ5 because they could get an offline editor.

@nzdave - agreed, it would be awesome if we could do it instantly! but 5months < 6months < 1year. The point I was making is that adding offline to the app is taking less time than creating an editor from scratch.
It’s coming, but as with every release, it takes time to build and time to test.
Cheers,
Keith.

As long as it means we get the editor for desktop OS’es :wink:

It looks like the wait is over, at least for Windows users! https://www.allen-heath.com/sq-v1-4/#downloads

Keith,

So with the Windows offline editor. Does this mean we can connect now to the SQ through WiFi as an app? So we can have now an iPad and a laptop with the App at the same time?? Knowing the max of 2 connections of the SQ-Mixpad.

Is this windows 10 only?

It is announced to be on OS X soon. My only problem ist that some functions of the mixpad editor are still missing. I can’t find the library button or the new ganging function. I also did not find the soft rotary assignments.

Keith could you share some insights on this. Thx

+1 on finding the library button, re: @TonmeisterDaniel

Is this possible? Love to load up DEEP plugins like the compressors in offline and have ability to save/recall presets for EQ’s etc.

So, anyone able to find the library button or figure out how to work with DEEP processing offline?

Thanks for the awesome ability to edit offline A&H, I’m starting to use it immediately

MixPad for Windows offers the same functionality as MixPad for iOS or Android, with some exceptions with regards to file storage e.g. save to USB. MixPad V1.4 was never meant as a fully fledged editor, but we felt the addition of Offline mode would address the vast majority of requirements around show preparation and editing.
We did add some other cool features in MixPad, including the ‘Follow Channel / Mix Select’, block patching in the I/O screen, PAFL control and channel routing. Looking forward, we plan to develop MixPad further in both Online and Offline mode, but we cannot commit to specific features at this stage.
