SETUP FOR WEB APP CONTROL
The MOTU Pro Audio Control web app gives you
access to all settings, routing, mixing, and effects
processing in the 828es, and each interface on the
AVB network, if applicable. For more info, see
“MOTU Pro Audio Control Web App” on page 11.
The web app is a web application served by the
hardware. All you need to run it is a web browser
running on a device that has a connection to your
audio interface through Thunderbolt, USB or a
shared network.
Figure 5-1: The web app is served from the hardware, and accessed
through any web browser on any device connected to the interface.
Web app control can be set up independently of
audio connections
The connections in this section, especially the
network scenarios, can be set up independently of
Thunderbolt, USB or AVB networking
connections you make for audio routing (as
shown in the setup diagrams earlier in this
chapter). In addition, connections for web app
control can be made over standard Ethernet and
do not require AVB Ethernet connections. Think
of web app control as being separate from audio.
Doing so opens up a lot of possibilities for control
of the 828es, independent of the connections you
make for audio.
Mixing and matching web app control scenarios
The web app connection scenarios shown in the
following sections are not exclusive from one
another. You can set up as many web app
connections as you wish and control your MOTU
device from many web app hosts simultaneously.
Launching the web app
Once you’ve made any of the connections shown
in the following sections, launch the web app as
explained in “Make hardware and network
connections” on page 11.
Web app control over Thunderbolt or USB
If the 828es is connected through Thunderbolt or
USB to a computer with internet access (as shown
on page 33), you can access the web app from the
computer, or any other device on the network. In
this case, make sure you’ve run the software
installer (page 29), which installs drivers that
allow your computer to properly communicate
with the device.
Web app control through standard Ethernet
The 828es can also be controlled by the web app
running on any device that has a standard
Ethernet connection to the interface, either
directly with a network cable, through an Ethernet
hub, or through Wi-Fi on your local network. The
sections on the opposite page show you how to set
up each of these connection scenarios.
