Use this mode for setting your MixPad preferences using the tabs in the top
panel.
Custom
– Create your own strip layouts with up to 32 channels. Select
Custom 1 or 2 in the bottom panel.
Custom 1 becomes available in the lower panel. Custom 2 becomes available
in the upper panel.
Select the type of channel you want to assign from the top panel. Use your
finger to drag and drop channels where you want then. Drag them down into
the Custom strip to add them. Drag them up out of the strip to remove them.
You can insert channels between strips or add on the right. To reposition a
strip already in the Custom layer first touch it until it highlights, then drag it left
or right to move it.
You can insert spaces between strips by dragging in the Blank item, for
example to separate inputs from masters. For quickly assigning blocks of
inputs select the 16 channel blocks at the end of the Inputs list.
Swipe left or right to scroll through the Custom strips without reordering them.
Style
– Use the controls and menus here to customise the colour scheme and
background to suit your preference. Confirm your changes by touching
‘Update’. Restore the factory settings by touching ‘Default’.
Help
– Access this Help file at any time using this tab.
Logout
– Touch this tab to log out. This disconnects MixPad from the iLive
MixRack and takes you back to the Connection screen.
Appendix 1
– Using a Wi-Fi Router
Choosing a wireless router
The iLive MixPad application handles very large amounts of control and
metering data. This is a professional mixing tool that justifies network
equipment of suitably high performance, quality and reliability. The router is
an important part of the iLive system. Investing in a good quality modern
router that has a high specification and ample processing power will help you
get the best performance and speed from your iLive, particularly if you are
running multiple controllers on the iLive network.
For best performance we recommend you choose a
dual band
wireless router
with
auto channel
selection. Use the more recent 5GHz band in places where
there is intense WiFi activity or interference in the more crowded 2.4GHz
band. A wireless router with auto channel selection automatically sets itself to
an available or least congested channel when you power it up.
