Devices
Devices is where you select a DL Series mixer to control from the Master Fader app on this iPad,
whether wired or wirelessly. Or you may choose to work offline. This could be to demo the Master
Fader app or prepare a mix prior to the next gig. Simply select from a list of all discovered consoles
available for control. The list of available devices to select from is divided into three sections:
Offline, Wired and Wireless.
Offline
— Select “Work Offline/Demo” to sever all control from a DL Series mixer. An iPad that
is offline will not control a mixer, whether physically connected to the mixer or not. In fact,
the iPad need not be anywhere near the mixer. You could be 35,000 feet up in the air traveling
to your next gig setting up snapshots, shows and presets. Offline, of course! Offline is also where
you test drive the Master Fader app [for free!] before purchasing a DL806 or DL1608.
Wired
— A wired iPad is using the wired connection to control the mixer. Only one iPad may
be wired per mixer. Therefore, only one item will ever be shown in the wired list. If the iPad
is not docked with a mixer, the words “No Connected Device” will be displayed.
Wireless
— The wireless list will display all DL Series mixers available for wireless control from
the Master Fader app. Choose one DL Series mixer to connect to and then control it from the iPad.
A wireless iPad is connected to the mixer (via Wi-Fi), but not physically docked with the mixer.
If it is, the device will change automatically to wired. Up to 10 iPads may select the device to
connect to wirelessly.
The Master Fader app recalls the last device you selected for wireless control. If it is not available,
it will be shown as disconnected and will try to reconnect until it becomes available or you select
to work offline or dock the iPad.
Let’s walk through the various ways to connect an iPad to a mixer. The first step is easy...turn the page!
