M7CL Control via iPad with Yamaha StageMix

·0 comments·

StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer. The result is better mixes in less time: a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show setup. StageMix does not provide remote control of all M7CL parameters, but is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on stage.

Midi and iPad – Latest developments with iOS 4.2

·0 comments·

Since the launch of the iPad, the App Store has been flooded with music applications. This was the main reason to start our ongoing extensive article series on all the different genres of these music apps for the iPad (part one and two already published). Right from the start we got our own iPad and the music apps, there was already one issue we encountered. And that was the MIDI compatibility/connectivity of these music apps. Better said, … there wasn’t any! No matter if the app was cool or fun or plain awesome. The use of these apps in a studio environment was close to nothing.
