Setlist/playlist for the included player

[Ogremic]

Forgive me if this is already availible, but until now I have seen that the player in CQ series supports only a basic simple track play.

Take a cue from the Soundcraft UI24R or Yamaha DM3 player and implement an easy way to make a setlist/playlist from within the mixer or the app, so people can use this great mixer as a backing track player, to make playlists during pauses, change song order on the fly. Would be godsend, and actually I think this is the only thing that keeps me to buy a CQ18T

Thanks

Even Line6 M20d from 12 years ago has a decent mp3/wav player that allows you to create a list of tracks to be played

And look what happened to the M20d, it was plagued with bugs from the onset and didn’t last all that long. Seemed like a great concept at the time even with the dedicated speaker system to go with it, but at the end of the day Line 6 are not Pro Audio specialists in the field of touring consoles etc, so it was doomed to fail.

It was doomed because Yamaha bought it and cut all development because they already had multiple lines of mixers and speakers. I heard the Line6 speakers and they were pretty decent. And the M20d mixer I am using every weekend since 2013, no bugs bug me 🙂

So I see this one as a true successor of the M20d, both in spirit and form. There are just a few things to improve, that’s all.

What was in the M20d was revolutionary for the time, the FX were good, not exceptional, they had a anti-feedback system in place, physical knobs for every track, high-pass, gate, 6 point parametric eq, compressor, dynamic eq, 4 FX (fixed, unfortunately), mp3/wav player with a basic setlist…. for 2012 was really exceptional… if they would have released a M20d V2 it would have been really good.

Still, the fact of the matter is that a decade old mixer has a better feature than a newly released 2023 FPGA mixer. And it can be fixed, because it’s a software problem, not a hardware one.

I see many of the feature requests on here as superfluous, at least for my needs since the upgrade to V1.2. However this is one I do miss from Soundcraft’s Ui16.
