    Just thinking it would be advantageous to have an option that would lock a screen on the CQ or ipad to prevent accidental changes, inadvertent touches, cleaning, drying if it gets moisture on the screen, etc… Not necessarily a password protected field, but just a button to tap (like a mute button – but global) that freezes all states and keeps everything operational in that state while locked. Tap it again and it unfreezes a lock and allows normal functionality and changes. This may not be a feature others see as desirable but thinking out loud as I work with my CQ18t and ipad. As a guitar player it is interesting with callouss on my finger tips how different quality touch screens respond. I also note if my fingers may be slightly moist, picking up a drink that sweats etc… I have to be mindful of my effort to mix/adjust on glass. Whether its a phone or something else… sometimes I want to clean the glass to create a smudge free surface to help keep things pure and clean. Hope this helps, just a thinking out loud as I chewed on this myself. Thanks! Hope that makes sense…

    I think the ‘freeze track states’ would be useful on the main fader page for things like cleaning and preventing accidental changes to the mix.

    However, I think this can be taken a step further with a ‘Lock mixer’ function. This would be on the main page and would require a password to unlock. Before locking, the user can be asked if they want the mix to be muted or remain as it is.

    I really like your idea of freeing track states without muting them, I hope they implement it in an update.

    Best,

    I love that A&H added the “Lock Screen” feature.

    But I really ask myself, why not with a password? I mean, yeah, is it really always useful? Maybe sometimes I just want to save myself from accidental changes.
    But in my opinion, why not add the possibility of setting a password? Just as an optional setting. So if you don’t set a password, you can unlock it without a further click. Like it is right now.
    However, if you set a password, then you need to enter it before unlocking.

    For example, sometimes I am at small events where the mixer is not always within my sight. And if there are some people who think it is funny to press some buttons, then a password would be very handy.

    So I would really appreciate it if they could add a password feature to the lock screen.

    Very good input, +1 from me.
    Other brand uses multiple key press action.

    It’s indeed nice that a lock screen has been included in this firmware update.

    A pin code (4 to 6 digits) is indeed desirable. It only takes 1 ‘crazy’ person to press unlock and then throw away all the settings. You don’t want that, of course.

    So for me, and many others, a pin code will be a nice option in the new firmware update.

    @SQuser Thank you very much for the above reply, perhaps I should have quoted that my comments related to the CQ series which has the has the latest releases. I got the information after searching through the Allen and Heath manuals and this chat thread.

    Lock Screen Option


    I would love to be corrected if I have this wrong. Would love it if the CQ also had the same security ‘options’ as the SQ. Was thinking about getting the CQ-18T but are being forced to go for the CQ0-20B just that it has not buttons and can not do anything unless you have the app and a network connection.So this I think would be a bit more secure desk.

    Hi guys & Girls so the lock screen. my thoughts . its a great idea to have a deterrent on screen but anyone can unlock this option very easily can this have a 4 pin code option added to the CQ model for better security?
