Devices is where you select a mixer to control from the Master Fader app on this iPad, whether
wired [DL806 / DL1608 only] or wirelessly. Or you may choose to work oine. 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:
Oine, Wired and Wireless.
Oine — Select “Work Oine/Demo” to sever all control from a mixer. An iPad that
is oine 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. Oine, of course! Oine is also where
you test drive the Master Fader app [for free!] before purchasing a DL32R, DL1608 or DL806.
Wired [DL806 / DL1608 only]— 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 mixers available for wireless control from the Master Fader
app. Choose one 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 oine or dock the iPad.
Let’s walk through the various ways to connect an iPad to a mixer, starting with Oine:
Oine — This is what the devices list displays when you rst re up the Master Fader app (before
the iPad is connected to the mixer and prior to the mixer being connected to the Wi-Fi router).
The “Work Oine/Demo” device is selected and highlighted gray. This is about as basic as the devices
screen gets, so it seems like a great place to start! In this particular case, there is nothing else to choose
from; in fact, try to select the wired or wireless connection by tapping it. Notice that it just bounces back
to oine. The wired and wireless selections display our infamous Running Man logo indicating that
neither are available for selection. This is because there is no wired device, nor any wireless options
at this point. This mode is perfect for conguring a complete show oine or to test drive the Master
Fader app before buying the accompanying mixer.
