Show channel names instead of numbers

[Edi]

On GLD you can see the names assigned to the channels when you view the IO section or also when you have a look at the insert points of FX, routing, etc.
It would improve the workflow a lot if this could also be shown on SQ.
Imagine you want to add a deesser to a vocal channel during live performance. Now you have to first check on which input your vocal channel is,
to select the correct insert point for the deesser. On GLD I just scroll through the channels until it show the correct inputs’ name.

Any info if this will be addressed in a future update?

But that it how it works – showing channel names, isn’t it?

I don’t have the mixer beside me right now, but in SQPad, FX inserts and I/O channels display names, not numbers. As far as I can see from the manual, there isn’t an option to choose between channel number and channel name. Nor does it appear that this was a feature introduced in a firmware update.

Or is this another of those infuriating cases of where the interface behaves differently depending on the platform you’re on (SQ / Mixpad Windows / Mixpad Android)?
