Master Fader 4.5.1 Includes Numerous Bug Fixes
Fixed DC16 delay parameters for FX are showing in Hz and value bar moves in wrong direction
Fixed DC16 view group multi-select is not reflected on mix deck
Fixed Master Fader fails to connect to DC16 during OS upgrade
Fixed DC16 selected channel display doesnt refresh selected channel image when new image is loaded
Fixed DC16 gets wrong IP from DL32R if link local address was previously used
Fixed DC16 does not refresh per channel edit screen parameters on snapshot recall
Fixed DC16 shows LPF on input channels and changes channel input source when encoder is turned
Fixed DC16 assign mode for even numbered linked subgroups
Fixed DC16 ALT + Pan does not adjust delay for selected output
Fixed DC16 IP address is cut off in setup about
Fixed DC16 pressing view group multi-select or all causes faders to move slightly
Fixed DC16 after upgrade front panel board A freezes
Fixed DC16 selected channel display doesn't show parameter values for all channel edits
Fixed DC16 moving multiple faders in Master Fader while in follow mode will cause Master Fader to resync
Fixed DC16 new show images are not shown on surface until after power cycle
Fixed DC16 control group selector shows mute group name when 'view' is selected
Fixed DC16 group selector switches to mute group view when it shouldn't
Fixed DC16 channel linking doesn't update the selected channel correctly
Fixed DC16 subgroups do not show LR Pan or LR Bal as they should
Fixed DC16 screen should be blank or show upgrade status during upgrade
Fixed DC16 channel display refresh issue not showing pan for linked matrices
Fixed DC16 page down arrow is illuminated when selecting an input channel and GEQ
Fixed DC16 disconnecting and reconnecting to mixer loop
Fixed DC16 banking on DC16 is still active on view groups with less than 16 channels
Fixed DC16 displays delay L value without decimal

Fixed Master Fader navigation can stop working in master fader when using follow mode. *
Fixed Master Fader infinite loop in follow mode *
Fixed Master Fader follow mode going to incorrect blank GEQ view on Main L/R. *
The above is for the DC16 and it's interaction with MF. Who here has a DC16?
The rest may be pertinent to what you have.
Fixed Master Fader wired update DL806 & DL1608
Fixed Master Fader linked/un-linked state not always reflected in app when linking or un-linking channels
Fixed Master Fader iPad Pro keyboard covers up static IP input fields
Fixed Master Fader presets menu doesn't stay open
Fixed Master Fader controllers tab not shown in iOS10 until iPad is rotated from landscape to portrait
Much better than the "numerous bug fixes".
* Follow mode is a DC16 issue.

Does 4.5.1 require a firmware update on the desk if it's already on 4.5?

Nope.
Fixed Master Fader wired update DL806 & DL1608
Hey WK, I wonder if that's what I think it is.
-
Yes i prompts for a firmware update

Oop, my bad, you're right. I read the app description that said it may require, and made a stupid assumption.
-
And i supose that the DC16 wil need to be firmware updated too , but mine is in the warehouse so i have to calculate time for an update next time :-)

May get to it today :).
UPDATE:
Well got around to it today and nothing changed. Their " Fixed Master Fader wired update DL806 & DL1608" probably has to do with the USB wired connection. In the future I will refer to the Quasi USB wired as D-wired (for docked) and E-wired for the Ethernet wired connection to avoid confusion. A better description of the fix is in order Mackie. I did run into a few lockups in the firmware update process trying to be the optimist. Yes the abort doesn't work why have it? More on this at another time. For now only update via the "WiFi" route.
-
1608 already had the 4.5 firmware installed. I updated the iPad to MF 4.5.1, connected to the 1608 and it updated to the new firmware without any issues.
Works a treat! :mrgreen:

Update - set up new factory reset Airport express with own wireless network for dl1608 (No internet connected) - Mf4.5.1 reinstalled - Not able to connect Ipad Air (Ios 10.0.2). Same story for Ipad Air Mini (Ios 9.3)... Tried forced update on dl1608 and installed MF 3 ... same result. Im sure I have a default Ethernet connection as MF4.5.1 working seamlessly when docked. Tried fixed IP as well as dynamic, AE will not recognize dl1608 no matter what.
Really spent too much time and money on fixing this as totally depending on mixing wireless for our band... not sure where to go from here.

Understand that the docked iPad is using a quasi USB connection and has no relationship to the Ethernet port. Seems that the Ethernet port was damaged since you last used it successfully.
-
With Ipad docked (Lightning port) all working well with all new features of 4.5.1 working well. When detatched all connection lost. On all previous MF updated there has been no issues with the wireless connection even if then AE was part of homenetwork wifi with internet connected through the AE router.
I Think Ethernet port is out of order if I am the only one with this problem.
-
May seem stupid but are you using the ethernet connector next to the 3.5 mm jack ?
-
Correct, the port marked <----> on the AE. No light appearing.
-
Before you ship it back and wait for repairs to take place, try a different router.
Perhaps you can borrow a cheap linksys or other brand other than Apple.
Might be worth a try, like I said in another thread I have certain routers that just don't like
the Mackie or the Behringer.
-

No light means no connection. Cable, router, mixer, at least one of these is bad. Swap them out until you figure out which one. It's basic troubleshooting.
-
Yes, for sure its a connection problem so I have tried different router, changed cable and only missing the network card of the Mackie. I have contacted the Vendor (Thomann) and waiting their reply as to next step.
Will keep you informed with developments - Would hate to ship it back as using the mixer on daily basis.
Thanks all comments and help!

I learned a valuable lesson last night and perhaps passing it on will be of help to others.
After setting up for a gig and then attempting to sync our iPad to the DL32, I got a message that the mixer firmware had to be upgraded to MF 4.5. I had deliberately (I thought) delayed upgrading to 4.5 in order to give things more time. I certainly had not intended to upgrade 90 minutes before an important gig. I had no choice but to proceed with the upgrade. The "abort" option got me nowhere.
I turns out that "automatically upgrade apps" was on in our iPad (OS 10) settings - probably an OS 10 default.
To prevent this from happening to you... Open Settings > iTunes & App Store, and turn off "Updates" under "Automatic Downloads".
-
yes, it defaults to auto upgrade when you do a iOS update. The subject has been addressed here a bizzilion times to turn off the auto update feature. I too have fallen prey to the same screw up.
last night there must have been bad mackie karma in the air, I finished sound check everything smooth as silk, even had a good new verb setting happening.
Turned on my other iPad and hit the wrong sync button and wiped out my settings. had to redo entire sound check with 5 minutes to go before start. Luckily a small show without guitars being miked.
Only had to deal with drums, vox, bass and quickey monitor test.
