Fixed View:
Like the Current and History Follow Modes, Fixed View is somewhat self-explanatory.
iPads that are set to Fixed Mode will stay on the view you desire regardless of the Follow
Mode setting on the other iPads. While the view constantly changes on iPads set to Current
and History Follow Modes, the view on iPads set to Fixed View won’t change at all...until you
make the change on the actual iPad.
Fixed View is quite popular around the oce and out in the eld. For example, an iPad could
be Fixed on overview to easily monitor levels and quickly navigate to any channel on the mixer.
Or it could be Fixed on the lead vocalist’s monitor mix, so you always have access. More
detailed examples coming up shortly, so stay tuned!
For optimal performance, Current and History Follow Modes should be set on one iPad
each (for reasons mentioned earlier). But multiple iPads could be set to Fixed View, each
with dierent views.
Advanced:
The previously listed Follow Modes will probably be all you ever need or use, but there is
an advanced pull-down menu to real dial in a personal Follow Mode based on the selected
channel, view and mix, including a Follow Mode selection of ‘Do Not Follow’. This reminds
me of the lyric, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” Same idea (sort of),
but with dierent words! Lastly, there is an overview on/o switch that we’ll discuss, as well.
When rst opened, the Advanced Follow Mode pull-down menu will look something like this:
Here you can see that choosing Advanced Follow Mode opens up four additional pull-down
menus, as mentioned above:
The rst three pull-down menus...
– Follow Selected Channel –
– Follow Selected View –
– Follow Selected Mix –
...have the same four options:
– Current Selected –
– 1st History Selected –
– 2nd History Selected –
– Do Not Follow Selected –
This means that each iPad’s Follow Mode may be uniquely tailored specically to your desired
congurations based on the channel, view and mix. Options!
