Hi @Jeff,
We would also prefer to have a persistent connection for SQ-MixPad when it runs in the background and so this does happen where possible.
It depends on how the ‘active’ network connection between the app and the console is dealt with when this happens and different platforms deal with it in different ways. With iOS for example, the network connection simply times out after a certain period (improves battery life of course!).
If the connection is disabled then there is no way to know whether it has been intentionally dropped or inadvertently lost.
Anyway, you’ll be pleased to know that you shouldn’t see this behavior on MacOS with the upcoming V1.5 version 🙂
Cheers,
Keith.
