Hi all,

a little problem occuref on my r72: The surface kerps switching between faderbanks (layers) randomly. A to C or whatever. This occurs on both, input and output section.

Any ideas ablut that? Happened after a master reset if surface via dip switches.

Is there any way to perform a factory reset to get this desk like new out of box? Or to oversrite the 1.94 firmware again?

The whole system runs on latest firmware.

Thanks for your support 🙂

Hello Dymond
It s look like a hard SBC failure that we already met few time. To fix it on the T112 and R72 that got the same trouble was to change the SBC PC….need to call my friend to get the exact reference for this PC master controler that you can found on the web.
Waiting for a hardware solution you should run the Hide software “DL5000” that is masked in the firmware data. Launch it in the same connexion way as the ilive director ( same IP parameter) then you computer will take place of your touchscreen completely synchronised with the surface button. If you have a touch screen Pc that should be even better than the ilive touchscreen ….specially under sun.

Good luck

Hi Mike where about in the UK? I have some parts for iLive but they are mostly ex user from scrapped modular series iLive consoles.
Think I have some faders from an R72 on the shelf.

Ok, here’s the story. We’ve had our iLive176 behaving very oddly at some shows. It first happened 2 years ago at a 3-day festival near the end of day 3. I was on stage preparing for the headliner to come on and my lighting tech came on over the talk back with the words “you better get down here, the board is doing something funny”. I went to take a look and every fader was randomly moving up and down, ALL of the channel LCD’s were a scrambled mess, all the other LEDs were flickering randomly and the touch screen was also flashing like crazy. We powered down and booted up to the board doing the same thing. I told my lighting guy to call our boss as I went back up to continue setting the band up. My boss came with the T112 surface, we swapped it out and got it all setup and rocked the show only 15minutes behind schedule.
We brought the board back, set it up, tested it but could not replicate the problem. Thought maybe it boiled down to temperature, as it was a very hot weekend. I used the surface 3/4 of a year later successfully at an indoor festival and it performed very well. A couple months later, at another indoor event, my boss and i brought it out with our R72 as back up, just in case, and it ran fine the day of setup and all of the next day through soundcheck. About 3 hours before the gig though, it ended up failing. Again, faders flying everywhere, LCD screens scrambled, and touchscreen flickering like crazy. We powered it down and back up and it was fine, however, we set up our R72, copied the show file to it, moved the CAT5 to it and ran the show with it instead. We left the 176 powered on to see if it would fail again, but it was rock solid the rest of the night.
Fast forward to now and we don’t trust the thing at all but cannot seem to get it to replicate the problems we have been having. We’ve had it running in our storage facility for months now just waiting for the day that it fails so we can record the error. Sucks to have such an expensive piece of equipment almost reduced to a paperweight.
Any ideas from anyone? anyone else experience these issues?

Hello, I have ilive r72, iDR 32 and m-dante. I’ll use the dante card to make a second mix for broadcast. I have also PC, Pro Tolls and m-audio profire 2626 sound card.

My question is, will I be able to make my mix on my computer,make multitrack recording and send back to ilive the mixed signal. And at the same time listen to the signal on my Yamaha ns10 monitors through the m-audio card or I will have to run the cable from the aux out on iDR to my monitors?

Odd occurrences on both my R72/idr32 kits…..

Main L-R ganged assigned to matrixes…I had ganged all attributes except Routing,
Recently started to notice some oddities in the L-R busses derived from the Main L_R ….although both channels showed no delay/Eq or other apparent differences, I could measure >20 ms difference between the L&R as well as a 3db gain and EQ differences at several frequencies between the L-R channels)…unganging the 2 channels did nothing to restore normalcy…assigning the matrix outs to different sockets did not resolve the issue…and, as stated the 2 channels settings looked identical!…(the L main had the level decrease/delay/EQ cut)…..bypassing delay and EQs on strips did nothing to change that so although both channels showed flat EQ , 0.00ms delay and had their faders set at same 0 level i could measure 20 ms and gain and EQ differences ..however!!! resetting the faders to infinity and back to nominal 0 (unganged state )reset all the parameters on both strips so now L&R are the same again…I had noticed the delay occurrence several years ago and wrongly assumed it had been corrected in a later firmware update…no more ganging of MAIN L-R for me

I know that feeling- did once on R72, remaining 10 minutes of souncheck were shortest 10 minutes in my life. Now I double and triple check the scene buttons are disabled.

Finally got around to checking out DL5000SystemManager and it seems to be the same app that runs the R72. I suspect that it is the same executable as in the control surface?

I connected first with Windows 10 using an old laptop’s ethernet to the R72’s Network port. The two screens behaved like mirrored displays except Library items only show up on the R72 screen but never on the computer screen. Control is available from both the laptop (trackpad/keyboard) and the R72 (touchscreen/encoder).

I then checked connection via WiFi to the wireless router in the iDR rack and basically got the touch screen display on my laptop. However, the two displays are no longer linked in mirror fashion so essentially I have two independent control screens instead of one; I liked that.

I then connected a new HP x2 laptop with a detachable touchscreen and it worked as well as the R72 touch screen, except for the missing Library items again. This worked with both wired and WiFi connections.

I then checked connection from MacBook Pro using WiFi and it was good also. I added tethered the iPad with the Duet app to the MacBook Pro and they gave me touchscreen control similar to the HP x2.

With all these options, I don’t think I need to worry about the touchscreen going dead on me any more since I always take my MacBook Pro and iPad for shows.

Nice!

I had a similar problem with the touchscreen on my R72. It went white after rapidly flashing between two images. Everything else on the surface was working properly so I continued with the show and ran Editor on laptop using the editor’s onscreen controls since the little R72 has only a single encoder for practically all parameter controls and the touchscreen was essentially for selecting encoder parameter.

I am back in the office trying to figure what caused the problem but now it has only happened once and a power cycle of the surface brought the screen back. Screen is staying on so I am no further ahead on the cause of problem.

I recall the screen always seems to work when the surface is booting so I am thinking it may not be a hardware problem. I will reload the firmware next and see whether the problem occurs again before sending unit in to distributor.

I connected an external VGA monitor along with USB keyboard and mouse (hit F1 after surface completely boots up to activate mouse pointer) and I can have full control without the touch screen. Until I can figure out the cause of the problem, I will continue with the VGA setup on all shows just in case.

I also plan to check out what the System Manager software can do. I see another thread about touchscreen problem and System Manager was mentioned as another alternative. I found an iPad app (Duet Display) which enables the iPad to tether to my MacBook Pro via USB/Lightning cable and act as a second display with touch. If System Manager can enable display the touchscreen on my laptop and Duet Display app can facilitate touch via tethered iPad, I would have a fallback setup without having to pack a VGA screen. Or not but I will try and post for anyone having a similar touchscreen issue.

We have an iLive-iDR-32 system with R72 surface and PL-10 remotes. We’d now like to make building announcements through this system, so would like a contact closure input to unmute a microphone input, and we look forward to using the PL-8 for this.

I know that when configured for mutes, the push-buttons on the PL-10 toggle the mute. But for this PL-8 application we’d need the PL-8’s contact closure inputs to be momentary, so the iLive input is only unmuted momentarily while the contact is closed (or open, whichever is needed) rather than toggled with each contact closure.

So my question is, when a PL-8 is configured so that a contact closure input controls an iLive input mute, is the mute toggled or momentary with each contact closure.

Hi A&H,

Long time owner and user of iLive’s / R72.
Do you have an update for the firmware on the M-Dante card to enable AES67?

Kind Regards,

So you know how A&H’s sister company, Digico, came out last year with the Core 2 upgrade for all of their SD boards which essentially doubled their capacity via a software and firmware update? Well, perhaps we could see the same could thing happen to the GLD boards? Just sayin…

As far as I remember the update was hardware on some consoles…
GLD does not use FPGA, so the limtation of the system are in the hardware.

I hope for compact sized Surfaces and Stageboxes in the dLive range or an updated GLD

Wishes?
Modularity with Stagerack, Expanders and Surface just like the dLive
AB168 reuse on the new system

need to replace my R72 and iDR16 in 2017… 🙂

Hi there – well I think you had quite an experience there – nice setup by the way! It may be worth you contacting A&H support team for a scientific explanation about where each bit of data is stored, but I think there are some basic principles that might help:
‘Shows’ are stored as showfiles in the surface or editor. they can also be moved or copied to USB for transferring. They do not ‘live’ in the iDR. the iDR remembers its last ‘current’ settings it had before it was switched off.
When you create a setup like you describe with the iDR32+R72 etc, you should save the show on the R72 and also copy it to a USB key. Then if you need to change to a different MixRack or Surface, you connect them up and get them working as a system, put in the USB key and recall the show which will then ‘best fit’ the hardware. in this case you kept the R72 so all you needed to do was recall the show saved earlier on the R72. The same showfile can also be opened from the USB in editor offline or online (with or without a surface).

When you saved the show only to editor it will hold data settings from the iDR and the editor ‘virtual’ surface, such as current settings and scenes. When you then connected the R72 to the iDR48 the MixRack has its old settings, the R72 has its last show that was recalled etc but you didn’t have a complete save of the show which you needed to restore all the hardware to what you wanted.

I think that’s what happened but like I said A&H support team can explain the distributed data rules.

Whew, gents, I opened the whole new meaning of “sh***ing bricks” for myself last night.
A bit of background. Imagine iDR32, iDR48, R72 (all v 1.94) and a MacBook with editor. So I had a show into iDR32 with 10 IEM mixes, a PA and a broadcast mix, 8 FX sends/returns that was rehearsed, recorded in Tracks Live (M-Dante & DVS) and then tuned to perfection. A day before show it was clear I’ll need more inputs, so i saved the show in the editor and from there loaded into iDR48. Then I attached R72 and set the layout, patched some local I/Os, etc. Did not archive the show, just shut down the system and packed for the show. Arrived in the venue, booted the system and right then I noticed my surface I/Os are not as I left them. Next thing I remembered I have to switch channel inputs from Dante to preamps (I’ve left them in such state in iDR32 after virtual soundcheck and copied over to iDR48), all the gains/phantoms/pads were shuffled – I thought allright, maybe that is because when I copied the show everything was switched to Dante, no big deal – took me 20 min. to get everything back.

My next surprise was the FX rack was empty, all the send/return levels and FX names were OK, but no devices in the rack. So I opened older version of the show, exported all FX to user library and copied to two USB sticks, none could be read by R72, so I went online with editor and found 5 of 8 user presets are there. That’ll do for the beginning, remaining I’ve restored from the memory.

So things were more less straightened when I put my elbow on the go button (bottom right corner of R72)… I should have remembered the desk preferences are not stored in the show and I also should thought someone really uses those buttons… That moment I wished the alarm clock would ring so I could wake up. These were most stressful 20 min before doors. The show went quite OK keeping in mind the starting point, but that definitely gave me some grey hair.

Anyone experienced anything like that?
I’ve hear from our theatre colleagues that some “bigger” or more complex shows do not load correctly time after time, so the workaround is to create one extra scene and store all there and if the show does not look right, that scene recall puts everything in place. I might start to do this as well. I’ve experienced this in smaller rate – sometimes I noticed the Bass has the same HPF as OH one channel before after show recall, but this was not really significant and easy to restore. The most alarming is the desk did not store last state correctly – never had this before. I guess, the story is way to long and complex to report it to A&H support, but just wanted to share, maybe that will save someones day.
