I tried different things. Unfortunately it seems that the only way to format usb in the way that SQ sees it is to format it with SQ desk. Even if I try to format usb on my computer (FAT) and then copy my usb drive which i use with my desk to it – the desk asks for formatting. The funny thing is that when I plug this usb with stuff copied from “original” one to my computer – MixPad app works with it perfectly 🙂 but the desk doesn’t.
So the only way I’ve found yet to prepare a show offline on a PC is formatting usb with sq desk so then you can plug it to your computer and work with SQ MixPad. I know it’s not a solution for you :/
I think that computer version of MixPad needs to be armed with usb formatting function.
For now – if you have an iPad you can prepare show with it’s version of MixPad app and then transfer it to SQ desk wirelessly.
For the record: I use MacBook so I don’t know if it’s the same on Windows.
