iPad Pro and iOS9 are here
Michael Welter:
One of the biggest advantages to the DL series is the ability to move around the venue and mix from anywhere. So, I'm not sure that a bigger, and heavier, iPad is really that beneficial, unless you work from one place. But, if I was going to go with a bigger screen, I would love to see more channels at one time. I would love internal AirPlay controls within MF. And maybe a Talk Back button on the main screen.

Agreed, I mostly use my Mini as I find the standard iPad too big in a crowded club...

Apple uses it for all their big demos. Not a kludge at all, any more than any USB to Ethernet connection is. It would be nice if Apple released their USB to Ethernet interface for it though. There is that third party one but for some unexplained reason it requires the app using it to be compiled for it - wonder why? In any case it sure would seem to make sense for Mackie to support a hardware connection...

Did it ever occur to you that Apple may have a driver for their rig? At present most USB to Ethernet adapters draw to much current for a iPad to supply so a powered Hub, which needs a wall-wart, is necessary that's a kludge in my book.

Nope, others have kluged together a copy of their hardware and found it to work fine without any additional driver needed.

I've tried it and it has never worked for me. Did the powered hub trick and still no love. I would love to get it working if anyone knows the secret.
