Qu Android app, anyone interested?

Qu Qu General Discussions

Hi,
My name is David and I’m the developer of Mixing Station (some Midas/Behringer user may also know me).
Mixing Station is an app for remote controlling digital mixers and includes some quite advanced features like RTA support, custom layers, custom buttons, unlimited DCAs,…
How many of you guys would be interested in having an remote Android app for the Qu series?
I thought about adding Qu support but the problem it that I would require an Qu mixer for developing/testing. But as developing this app is not my main job I’m not sure if it would be worth the effort.

Let me know what you think.

I already tried to contact A&H directly about this topic but didn’t get any reply.

You possibly want to check out this thread: Windows & Android Support

I already found this thread but it seems like the TouchAndMix app is quite incomplete (or am I missing something?) and it is less effort to add a new mixer to my app than it is to continue someones sourcecode :slight_smile:
Also it seems like the thread went to a android vs. ios discussion instead of focusing on one topic.

Just wanted to point out, that android support is requested since 2013 and there’s still no (competitive to QuPad) solution around. Its a different question if you may gain some profit out of it…

I would love an android app.

Me too…3…4…5…

But then people might say it’s better than the Qu-Pad app so I’d have to go out & buy an android tablet…

:smiley:

I also want a android app

Whilst I would have liked one I have two thoughts:

  • My main issue is that there is only one connection allowed at a time.
  • I’d like to see an android “Qu-You”

I now have an iPad, so it’s not necessary for me any more.

I am also waiting for this.

I would also like to have an android app for the Q-16. I’m poised on the edge of purchasing an iPad just for this function.

12

I for sure would like a QU android app, even if it were just a Qu-You version for setting monitor mixes between band members it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your replies.
I’m currently in the process of getting a Qu-16. When it arrives I can start developing.

14

That’s fantastic news. Thanks!

A friend of mine own behringer x32 and use your app…he says quite better than official

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply but Mixing Station QU is reaching its final phase.
The app is currently tested by A&H as well as myself.

The complete Qu series will be supported, including the new Qu-Pac.
Following parameters can be access by the app:

  • For all channels: Fader, Mute, Preamps (USB, dSnake, local), Gate, PEQ, GEQ, Dynamics, Sends, names
  • Mutegroup and DCA assignments
  • RTA as overlay for the PEQ and GEQ
  • All meters

Due to the limitation of the Qu Midi protocol the following parameters cannot be changed:

  • Advanced dSnake routing
  • Output routing
  • FX parameters (except for tap delay time)
  • USB recorder
  • Only one(1) connection simultaneously!

Scene access is possible according to the documentation but not yet implemented.

General app features:

  • RTA overlay
  • RTA averaging
  • Customizable layers and channel colors
  • Unlimited DCA groups (iDCAs)
  • DCAs and iDCAs can be used as layer (similar to POP groups from midas)
  • Peak hold time for all meters with custom time
  • High contract mode for outdoor usage
  • Works on every Android device running Android 4.0 or newer.

Attached are some screenshots from the current beta.
I’ll keep you updated when there is a final release date.

Wow - looking good, and working with A&H!

That should be a nice addition to the line.

David,

You state “Only one(1) connection simultaneously” is this only 1 connection of the Mix Station/QuPad or can I have one iPad connected using the QuPad and an Android running Mix Station?

An Android app that works with a Note 4 / 5 would be greatly apreciated

I didn’t test it yet as I don’t have an ipad but I guess this should be possible as they are using a completely different protocol for the ipad app.
