Master/My Fader V3 Wants and Speculation
sam.spoons:
I use Airturn for "My Lyric Book", brilliant.
My idea for a wifi remote surface for MF was that Mackie would implement HUI or some such midi protocol for Master Fader and I could use a midi surface (Berry BFC2000 maybe) to control faders in MF on the iPad. Behringer have the X-Touch in the pipeline which can control the X32 range directly (it even has built in wifi and LCD scribble strips) but it's tailored to recording not live use so is not ideal.

Hi Sam
Who knows what the x touch will do? It's another product in coming soon land,
Personally i thought the touch Compact with some Audio gubbins built in would have made the platform for a better product than the x18,
Just like the mute core, Another so near but so far product IMHO
:lol:

There are good photos of the X-Touch (and X-T Compact) on the berry website. It has a large section of the real estate devoted to DAW control buttons/encoders/display none of which is useful for live mixing. It may be possible to reassign the buttons but it's a very inelegant solution. I'd be happy with 8 or 16 faders, each with LCD scribbles, a single encoder and, say, 4 assignable buttons plus a small, one fader, master section at the remote surface. Most channel functions (eq/dynamics/fx) are easily (and often better) done on the iPad it's mainly the physical faders you miss. If they could add in a couple of stereo inputs, talkback and phones out linked to the main mixer by wifi that would be icing for sure. Realistically, when I get my X32, a couple of BCF2000s to do the faders (especially if they'd do it via the iPad app, not available ATM I suspect) with the iPad for everything else should be a workable solution (or I could just buy an S16 or two ::))
Keyboard Magic:
It would be really nice if the next version of Master Fader would come out soon and Mackie could fix the current issues plaguing a lot of DL owners with, say, a well thought out firmware update. No big UI changes (maybe a few updates), just remedy the immediate problems. Not too challenging for Mackie. ???
Alas, I get the sneaking feeling that the next big release of Master Fader will coincide with the release of the new DL32, unfortunately. ::)

I have to be honest
I am really put off buying a dl now after reading here, it's ok that a problem has arisen with the noise, but if they can't fix it, well
I am going to wait.
