FIRMWARE UPDATE SUGGESTION. PLEASE COMMENT This is driving me absolutely nuts. D Live has this feature, I don’t know if Avantis does or not yet. Every other desk in any price range has this feature on it. But SQ does not. When we do or do not have the appropriate rack attached to the desk, a greyed out box will appear in the IO tab showing what is or is not available to patch. This is a good thing. So why can’t this same idea, or one similar to the verbiage in D Live, when patching available inputs and outputs that are already assigned to prevent overwriting an existing patch? Instead it eagerly and wihtout warning overwrites a patch.
Example: . I have 2 SQ6. One in FOH and one in MON world. FOH has 2nd S Link in the io port. MON has Dante Card in io port. Single GX4816. FOH S Link to GX4816. FOH io Card to Mon S Link. The method of connecting all this is correct.
So in this scenario I have to use tie lines and dante extensively. I have talk back mics at each desk that need routed to the other desks. I have Dante that needs to go everywhere. And local io that needs to go everywhere. So patching is really complex. I have overwritten patches so many times and the desk doesn’t warn you, doesn’t tell you that port is patched, or grey it out.Since theire isnt a aster patch overview page or overlays frmo different layers or event verbiage. C’mon gentlemen, PLEASE make that simple feature, already sortof in the desk and already in D Live in the firmware. This is really really hard to deal with. Anyone else think this should be a feature?
