IP6 controller for simple operation

[Mike]

Existing system is DM32/S3000. I’d like to attach an IP6 for simple system operation. I would like to run the IP6 with DM32 for small events where the S3000 desk would remain off. But then for larger events use the desk. All needed sources would be wired into the DM32 that are needed for IP6 stand alone operation. Is this possible? How would I get the appropriate scene recalled for IP6 use? Any thoughts?

I’m not a dLive user [yet] but wouldnt it be easier just to use a mixpad app?

Yes sir, but they don’t have an iPad! My concept is for the “janitor” to be able to run audio for a small event. I don’t want them touching the desk.

Thanks,
Mike

For sure.
You would think A & H could see the need for a very simple fader pack device that can speak the language to talk to ALL of the A & H range as an add-on.
Just exactly in your instance what you are asking about?
I’m not going to mention something like a BRC on-the-go type of fader pack 😐 which can be utilised in many different ways.

Anyhow I look forward to an answer to your original post.

@XYZ there’s ports on both the surface and mixrack for the IP units, so definitely if you set a scene it would be controllable by the IP units in a very simple scenario (I had the discussion yesterday with a fellow user over coffee where he was discussing installing an IP8 in a lecturn for use by non-audio savvy operators in a Church).

I have multiple users with different logins. If the surface isn’t turned on, how would the appropriate scene be recalled for use with the IP6? Would the system need to have the scene recalled prior to shut down of previous use in order for that scene to be active when it’s powered back on the next time? …or can I just program a button on the IP6 to recall a specific scene regardless of login credentials?

TCP/IP? On my iLive I had an app on my phone which selected scenes via TCP/IP, I believe there’s the same system available on the dLive (I haven’t tried it yet, but it worked well on iLive)

You can program some soft keys on the IP controller so it recalls the ‘right’ scenes no matter what user is logged in
NB you cannot change user log-ins via an IP controller – the system will stay in the last user profile
You should program IP controllers separately for ‘surface’ / ‘MixRack’ connection (e.g IP6 programmed ‘to rack’ will always function whether surface is present or not).
