Tip
The remotes have the option
Sync Channel Layouts active as default (in Preferences). This option
transfers the Layout Presets and the current Channel Layout state from host to remote. Apart
from the channel width state this option makes a mirror-style setup most easy. But when using
the remote as individual setup, make sure to disable this option to have independent Layout Pre-
sets on the remote.
Limitations
• Mixer View & GUI. When connected the remote computer / iPad will immediately have the com-
plete routing and FX settings of the host, including mono and stereo channels, but not the host's
GUI setup, like panel states open/closed of Settings/EQ/Dynamic, FX panel visibility, 2-Row or 3-
Row mode and channel width. Channel width states can be stored as usual per Snapshot and
completely as Workspace, locally on the remote computer. They need to be loaded manually after
loading a Workspace on the host in case a 100% identical view is required.
• Workspaces. The Remote shows the Quick Workspaces (hotkey W on Windows/Mac) stored
on the host, and allows to remotely load them. It is not possible to save complete Workspaces
with mixer state from the Remote, or on the Remote. The Workspaces saved locally include GUI
information only (Channel state wide/narrow, Channel Layouts, window size and position) and
further local settings, to be able to have personalized views on the remote computer, independent
from the view on the host.
• Real-time behaviour. Can suffer when the network is overloaded or the WiFi reception is insuf-
ficient. Level Meters will stutter then and faders do not move smoothly.
• Background operation on iPad - is not possible. This should not be a problem as the Remote
doesn't need to do anything in background, and when called up very quickly reconnects and syn-
chronizes its state.
• State. Is shown in the upper right corner (offline or connected), or the Mac/Windows title bar.
