• 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 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 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 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.

[Topsøe]

Yes i prompts for a firmware update

[nottooloud]

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.

[Topsøe]

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  :-)

I haven't tried it yet but here's hoping these problems are fixed.

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!

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.

[Marcellus76]

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.

[Topsøe]

May seem stupid but are you using the ethernet connector next to the 3.5 mm jack ?

[Marcellus76]

Correct, the port marked <----> on the AE. No light appearing.
