Master Fader and My Fader Reference Guide

Updating the Firmware

The Master Fader app automatically compares the app and rmware versions

each time the app connects to the mixer. In order to operate properly, the rmware

and app versions must match. If the Master Fader app is older than the rmware ver-

sion in the mixer, you will be prompted to update the app. Tap the App Store

button on the popup and update as described on the previous page.

If the rmware version in the mixer is older than the

Master Fader app, you will be prompted to update

the rmware. The latest rmware is built into the

Master Fader app, so there is nothing additional to

download. Just follow the on-screen prompts.

Be sure you have up to 15 minutes to spare, as the

rmware update sometimes takes that long.

Once you’ve made the decision to update the rmware, an image similar

to what is shown below will appear on the iPad.

The warning “Please do NOT exit the Master Fader app, power cycle the mixer, or otherwise

interrupt the upgrade” has several meanings. For example: (1) checking email, (2) updating

apps, calendar, notes, (3) checking the score of the game, (4) updating the status of your

favorite social networking site, etc. Instead, wait until after the update has completed to

tweet “Just updated my @MackieGear #DL32R #DL1608 #DL806 rmware, #mylifeiscomplete!” I learned

the hard way so you don’t have to. Eat a sandwich, qua a beer, or whatever else you need to do to occupy

your time during the rmware upgrade.

The rmware upgrade may occur wired [DL1608 or DL806 only] or wirelessly. Choose one

or the other and go with it; do NOT change from one to the other halfway through the upgrade.

Do you see the red button centered at the bottom of the screen that reads “Abort”?

Yeah, you’re going to want to go ahead and leave that alone. There should be no reason

to abort the rmware upgrade. Frankly, I’m not even sure why it’s there if we don’t want

anyone to touch it. Leave it o, right? Alas, I digress...
