About this app

SQ-MixPad allows control of an SQ console over a wired or wireless network.
It can be used simultaneously and independently of the SQ surface, so it can provide supplementary local control as well as giving the engineer the freedom to move around and mix from different listening positions.
Three devices running SQ-MixPad can be connected and used at the same time as using the SQ surface, giving four separate points for control of all mixes.
An ‘Offline’ mode allows for SQ show files to be edited and managed without connection to a console.

This app works perfectly with the board. I love that I can set everything up in advance, including the soft key dedications, all patching and all routing... And it works flawlessly. If only all other digital audio apps worked so simply and so naturally. The work flow is simply as natural as it could be in such a complicated work environment.

Would be great if user permissions were enforced. The app description indicates "Other features include – Works with SQ User Permissions". However this is not the case using the latest firmware with either the Android or iPad app. This is a huge problem because it exposes configuration that should never be changed to possible breakage by a user that only understands the basic mixing function. I don't even want our users mixing directly on the board to be able to access many functions.

Used to work fine. SQ-6 firmware was updated. iOS version appears to work fine. This Android version doesn't even start -- crashes immediately. Useless until fixed. ----- Version 1.4.1 fixes the crash problem. Appears to work fine w/ SQ-6. Noticed that the HPF isn't visible on the tablet!? Checked with another tablet. Would be nice to see (change) the HPF value. The other settings (Gate, EQ, Comp) are visible and modifiable.

Hi Tyson, thanks for updating your review. It should be possible to change the HPF on PEQ by either dragging the graph or dragging down the middle bar of the processing page to reveal the full PEQ controls. Does that help?.
