MIDAS Launches Mixtender iPad App

MIDAS  has announced the launch of its eagerly-awaited Mixtender iPad app.  Available now from the iTunes app store, Mixtender provides wireless  remote control of  the PR02 and PR02C digital mixing systems permitting an engineer to  access fader levels and output GEQ remotely from an iPad. The app will  also be available for the MIDAS PRO Series and XL8 digital systems upon  the imminent release of v2.0 software.

An  impressive 64 input meters and 27 output meters can be viewed  simultaneously in real-time on the ‘console overview’ screen, aiding  fast channel navigation. Multiple  iPads can be used on a single console simultaneously, and the mix  engineer has the option to ‘lock’ each iPad so that it can only access  one mix. This allows each performer to control their monitor mix on  their own iPad, without making changes to any other  area of the console.

Mixtender  also provides wireless remote control of all fader levels, including  input faders, all bus contributions and masters, VCA, and uniquely, MCA  fader levels,  providing unprecedented mixing power from the Apple device. Remote  control of the PR02’s onboard KLARK TEKNIK DN370 graphic EQs, as well as  input and output channel mutes, is also quick and easy using the iPad’s  multi-touch interface.

“The  iPad’s reliable multi-touch interface makes it a perfect accessory for a  MIDAS console,” says brand development manager Richard Ferriday. “It  will add an even  greater degree of functional flexibility to our range.”
