Here goes. First post. I use an 896hd. I can confirm it is possible to control Cuemix wirelessly with an ipad or iphone using AC-7. I have it working in front of me now. It needs a 2 port usb MIDI port with patch cables looping MIDI in to MIDI out but it works flawlessly. The whole process is a bit involved. I used an old midsport 2x2. I dont see why any other 2 port MIDI wont work.
1) Open Audio MIDI Setup on mac.
2) Open MIDI window
3) Double click on Network to open window.
4) Make sure there is a ticked session in the session window. If not create one.
5) Make sure Ipad/phone is on same wireless network as the mac. If not open WiFi on the mac and click create network and connect ipad to it.
6) Start AC-7 on Ipad. Set it to Logic Mode. It should appear in the directory box in Audio MIDI Setup window.
7) Hightlight it and click connect. Move a fader on the ipad and some red lines should appear in the latency window. If so youre connected.
All the above is standard for AC-7.
8.) connect midisport to USB. Patch B out to A in and A out to B in.
9) In the Live routings box set both send and receive to Midisport port B.
10) Close the MIDI network setup window.
11) In MIDI Studio window click add device. Double click it and Name it Mackie Control and set the Manufacturer to Mackie and the model to Mackie Control. Close it.
12) Connect Midisport port A to Mackie control By dragging between the 4 triangles on the 2 devices.
13) Open Cuemix, enable control surfaces, Check Mackie Control on Midisport Port A is configured. Tick Application follows control Surface.
14) Enjoy. Faders, Names, Banks, Pan , flip for output levels on all mixes. All faders work for all mixes. 24*8 channels on your iphone!
But only if you have done it all right!
Just for fun I have mixed a live gig on my iphone with a 6 piece rock band using 18 inputs. A bit fiddly - The Ipad is much easier. 6 Stereo in ear mixes too although I didnt do those from the phone. Just FOH. The labels are too small to keep track of things. You could do it on an Ipad though.
Cool but its looks less impressive than using my Mackie 24.4.2!
Edit.
By the way, I have a BCF2000. It is no problem to get all the faders working on all the mixes as well as trim, pan, mute, solo, -20db pad and phase. I use the BCF to do FOH, 6 stereo IEM mixes and a pair of wedges. There is no need to touch the Mac. Use the logic emulation. No problem with fader 1 -24db then. Flip to OUT to adjust the main out fader for each mix and also select which mix to play with. Select a mix using one of the lower bank of 8 buttons. Flip back to adjust the faders for that mix. If anyone still struggling with this let me know. I suppose a video guide would be easiest. I suppose I might get round to doing one on youtube.
Let me know if it works for you.
Currently working on getting BCF2000 and Ipad working at the same time. Not there yet.
