    Just got my new Avantis on our network with DHCP via an IP that is essentially static. Director connects and operates with the console flawlessly. My iPad running MixPad will NOT connect to the Avantis at all. Nada, zip, zilch. Anyone have any idea why this would be? The iPad is connected to the network that the console is on. BTW, the same iPad has been used to connect to the Yamaha LS9 which is on the same network. (Different IP, of course.) The LS9 is to be replaced by the Avantis if I can sort out the connectivity issue. Any ideas?

    Two things…..

    First, I believe your iPad MixPad app version and the console firmware version need to match. I would hope that a new Avantis would come with the latest firmware already installed, but double check that both devices are running the latest software/firmware versions available.

    Second, we just had a band member purchase a new iPhone and he cannot get the Custom Control software to connect to the Avantis. We double checked to make sure his phone was on the local Wi-Fi network. I also install the latest version of custom control editor and saved my templates using the newest version and uploaded those to the console, but he still cannot connect even after doing that. No other musician has problems connecting to the console using Custom Control (some use Android devices and some use Apple devices). This musician also did not have problems connecting on his older iPhone.

    I haven’t really had time to dive into the situation, but I’m beginning to think that it points to some issue with Apple compatibility. Perhaps there has been a very recent change that has broken compatibility.

    Apple have added more security over time, including the ability to prevent specific apps from having access to the network connection.
    This should show up as a pop-up option when you first install/run the app, but can easily be (dis)missed.
    Check in Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network whether MixPad has access to the network allowed.

    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Keith- Your response was spot on. It was Apple’s new security ‘feature’. A few clicks and swipes and I’m up and running. Thanks!

    It also solved the issue my musician was having…..
