CL/QL StageMix V8.1/8.5 Supplementary User Guide

Welcome:

Thank you for downloading the “CL/QL StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha CL/QL

series digital mixing consoles.

This supplementary user guide explains the new features and changes introduced with

CL/QL StageMix V8.1 and V8.5.

StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha

CL/QL series digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface

from anywhere within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to

allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly

controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to

a second engineer. The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during

high-pressure pre-show setup. Although StageMix is focused on the requirements for

adjusting monitor mixes on stage, its range of features is continually expanding, allowing

it to be used for a wider variety of remote control functions.

NOTE: iOS applications may not be supported in your area. Please check with your

Yamaha dealer.

1. Disconnect from Console and Return to Start Menu From V8.1 onwards, CL/QL StageMix now supports iOS multi-tasking. As a result, if StageMix is sent to the background (i.e., if the iPad home button is pressed during operation), StageMix will automatically attempt to re-connect to the previously used console IP address whenever StageMix is re-opened.
PAGE 4
If StageMix is force-closed via the iPad App Switcher, the next time that StageMix is launched it will open directly to the Start menu. However, note that if OFFLINE DEMO is active, if you want to exit and return to the Start menu for connection to an actual console, either use the [Disconnect and Return to Start Menu] button in the setup menu or force-close StageMix and re-launch.

Hide Unused MIX/MATRIX Sends This function applies to the following two StageMix views – • Sends on Faders view • Channel Sends view Whenever this function is enabled, any unused Mix or Matrix Sends will be temporarily hidden from view.
