I agree. When I was looking, the feature set of the X32 at that price point couldn't be beat. This looks like a cool board, but not enough to trade my infrastructure over now.
Something that really bugs me about it though, is picture 6, where it shows the stage box mounted incorrectly in the gator case. Gah, I hate when equipment isn't properly aligned in rack spaces like it is supposed to be. WTF??

That image is like a serving suggestion for food... you don't have to mount your stagebox like that, and we aren't implying that is correct! That is just how our photographer wanted to mount it... I had no say...
If it's any consolation now, we have just announced the new ViSi listen app which is a cross platform (iOS, andriod), cross device (tablet, phone) monitoring app that allows musicians to make their own monitor mix and more importantly, the engineer to lock out each device to a certain mix bus. This control is done at the mixer end.
Regardless guys, you have a console that works and if you're happy then it's all good! This is just our new offering for those who are still undecided or are ready to upgrade.

Hi Tim!
Our app does indeed work! We have control of ALL fader functions (mix busses, GEQ, fader levels) and all input strip functions (Input gain, 48v, HPF, Gate, Comp, EQ, Output delay, Pan etc) and all with pretty graphs and grab-able EQ curves and Comp thresholds, bouncing balls and such like. It may not do everything, but it does work mate!
Also, we have just announced the new ViSi listen app which is a cross platform (iOS, android), cross device (tablet, phone) monitoring app that allows musicians to make their own monitor mix and the engineer to lock out each device to a certain mix bus.
Anyways, as I said below, you've got a console that works so it's all good man! Rock on.
I'm here if you fancy asking any questions about Soundcraft products or if you fancy inquiring more about the new Si Impact.

I know you have an app now. Although it is not as robust as other manufacturers apps.
I was more referring to the fact that when the Vi system was released, there was no remote app, and the offline editor was pretty rough too. When Si (big desks) hit the market, there was nothing in the way of remote or editing apps. Then ViSi was released with the compact line and it wouldn't stay connected to anything.
The app was finally fixed, but it is still generations behind the functionality of the apps from other vendors.
Also, it really bugs me that the Vi was on the market for years before the user define buttons were functional. Soundcraft needs to get their software game locked down if you want to compete.
Please don't take this as criticism. I am a big soundcraft fan and love the Vi over all other pro desks. I just want SC to step up and be the A level manufacturer that they should be!
When will the Si Impact be available for purchase in Sweden? Do you have more information about the ViSi listen app?

Hi Per,
We are shipping in the next few weeks and we should have units coming that way soon. For exact dates, it is best to contact your local distributor which i believe is Septon Electronics: www.septon.se
ViSi Listen will allow you to lockout busses based on HiQnet addresses, allowing musicians to adjust their own mixes BUT ONLY THEIR OWN MIXES without risking your FOH mix or another musician's aux. The app allows you to create custom fader view groups so musicians can tailor their interface for their needs and preferences and only show what they need.
Creating access to ViSi Listen is done on the console, allowing the engineer/console operator to control the show and keep everyone in their own mix.
We know a lot of you have been asking for this for sometime, along with Android and phone capability, so we are very happy to bring this to you. This app is truly cross-platform/cross-device and will be available for the App Store and Play store.
The app is currently undergoing rigorous testing for performance and compatibility across all devices. Android devices are especially tricky due to different makes/models and different screen sizes. We are working flat-out on this and we hope to have this before your summer touring season.
