GETTING STARTED / BETA
Your first setup,
one step at a time.
This is an introduction to the workflow. Beta builds and testing instructions are coordinated for each console family; the public Mac download is not open yet.
1. Choose the console family
In the app’s Settings, select the make and model. Review the console’s abilities and limitations. A beta label applies to that family, and individual controls may still be unverified.
2. Build the show before connecting
For a desk setup, start in Quick Setup: prepare channel names, icons, colors, DCA assignments, and mix sends. For theatre, open Channel & DCA Mapping to break down the script and plan scene-by-scene assignments and channel settings. Spreadsheet import/export lets you work with existing planning material. Save a copy before a major change.
3. Review AI-assisted work
Use a compatible desktop AI assistant to help prepare and edit the input setup or script breakdown, or use the copy-and-paste workflow. Use your own AI account and review channel names, routing, scene boundaries, and assignments. AI access to the show and permission to control a console are separate choices.
4. Establish a test connection
Connect the computer to the desk’s control network and check the selected console and address. The app’s console-control functions require a valid licence or trial. Beta access and activation instructions will be provided with your test build.
5. Send a small, deliberate test
Use a spare channel and a short show first. Review what will be sent. Scene storage, recall, and available parameters differ between families; do not assume another desk behaves the same way.
6. Explore the tools for your desk
Console Undo: review tracked console changes and the earlier values before choosing a revert. This covers changes the app can observe and restore, rather than every possible action on every desk.
Gain-Bus Compensation: choose a channel and which mix or matrix sends to compensate. On a test desk, verify that input gain changes produce the expected opposite send adjustments. Compensation remains limited by supported parameters and the desk’s send range.
7. Rehearse supplemental automation
Use the Automation Assistant to enhance the console’s own scene automation with supported parameter changes, waits, fades, and Live Libraries. Choose whether to follow console recalls or advance scenes from the app. Check waits, fades, parameter tracking, recall-safe settings, and manual operation before considering a performance. Keep a console backup and a way to continue mixing without the app.
