Hi all, it would be great to update the application software for the Sq Rack models and bring us closer to having the capability of 2 different views like the DLive , to be able to use on 2 touch screens.
I look forward to this amazing future change.
Best regards
It is possible to connect 3x instances of the SQ-MixPad app to the SQ-Rack, all with independent control or options to ‘Follow Select’ and ‘Follow Mix’ of the mixer itself.
So it is currently possible to adjust almost all parameters of the mixer in 4 separate places at once.
If this is not what you’re after, are you able to clarify further please?
Thanks,
Keith.
I have 2 multitouch screens connected to 1 mini cpu.
And I would like in the top screen to have the Eq view , dynamic processes and in my other screen to have only the faders control view and thus have 2 different views in each multitouch.
I hope you can help me how to do it
Hi @Wilder ,
In that case, you can simply run two instances of the app on the computer.
I should note that it is not possible to pass the ‘Select’ message between the two instances however, because the channel Sel message is only generated at the mixer itself, then you just choose whether MixPad ‘listens’ to it.
Thanks,
Keith.
How could I achieve this?
I tried it but it won’t let me start 2 times.
Oh - then Keith will have to help again.
I can start it 2 times even on a mini PC, as the screenshot shows.
Hi,
I just realized that if you can make it, but how weird I’m on the current version and not manage to open the app 2 times .

As said, I assume @Keith can answer that.
How do you do it?
I tried it on Mac and it won’t let me open the software 2 times
I am on PC.
What I did was initially opened the first instance from my Start Menu (Applications Folder on Mac???) and then when it was in my Taskbar, I just right clicked on it, and then clicked the App name, then repeated until I had it open 4 times.
I’m sure I could open it many more until my computer finally crashed, however many instances that might be.
The way to get two versions of an app running at once is to use the command line. This might sound daunting, but it’s only a single, simple line of code you need to enter, and there’s no danger of it breaking anything.
If you’re someone who hasn’t used the command line before (which is perfectly normal) then you can get to it by opening Spotlight and searching for Terminal. When you see the app appear on the results list, select it and you’ll see a window open up with some code at the top.
Now, all you need to do is enter the following command at the $ prompt:
Open -n -a [application name]
So, for example, if you wanted two instances of Safari then you’d type this:
*Open -n -a safari
Now you should see a second window open that holds another copy of Safari. That’s it. If you didn’t have Safari open when you typed the command, enter the command again to open the second version of Safari.
Google suggests trying the above if you haven’t already.
Again, I am not a Mac user so can’t confirm the validity of this working or not, but it does appear to be a valid command to be used.
