For those who may be interested in this program and still have an O1v96 I wanted to show some basic controls done between the X41 with AirFader software using my O1v96 done wireless.
Out of focus but you can still see the basic idea of the controls.

This tablet is a Pen touch type running winXP.

1. Showing meters set to prefade on desk
2. View set to post fade
3. Gate on. Not set too low , just to see gate working.
4. Compressor on. Adjusting output gain.
5. Tapping to show fine adjustments can be done
6. Adjusting eq. Setting back to flat and the different ways to control.
7. Main Left/Right outs. Compressor/EQ/back to flat

When tapping on a control the fader or faders needed come up so you can adjust the value or you can adjust it by touching and moving the controls themselves.

I found the meters to be spot on and very little lag time between software and desk.
If your looking for something different other than Studio Manager this may be worth a look.

Takes about 9 sec. for video to start...

Re: Airfader to O1v96 with Windows tablet for wireless mixing

Tried something tonight that worked well so I wanted to share.
If you ever wanted a "wired" connection from the O1v96 to your Windows server via AirFader but the usb length limit wasn't enough to get the job done this I found worked for me.

I went out of my mixers USB send into the Usb in on my router setup by it. Went Ethernet out on the router to my IBM tablet running windows via cat5. The tablet connected to the router. I was able to open the USB connection and connect to the board via the ethernet connection. This gave me full Airfader control of the desk.

In basic terms the router became a USB to Ethernet adapter. I tried it with a 50 and 30 foot cat5 cable coupled for an 80 foot total length and it worked fine. I could at the same time connect my RCA (android) tablet to the router as well and run the airfader program wireless.

With this setup I can have the desk set up on side of the stage with a cat5 cable to the back of the room hardwired to the Windows tablet and have a Android/ipad setup for wireless mixing where needed.

Just wanted to add the flexibility to the setup I found to work well.

A quick update.

Airfader has been upgraded with more features in the Android/Ipad client apps.
Full dynamics, aux and L/R stereo bus sends follow Pre/Post meters set in the V as do the channels. Better meter in the eq section. Less cpu use noted in the windows server. Server has more features in the O1v96 secton too.
You'll need to upgrade to Windows Server 3.3 and update your android/Ipad client as well.
Well worth the modest price to bring the O1v96 up to the same level wireless control that most newer desk have.
