[QUOTE="Timo Ulkuniemi, post: 73129, member: 1978"] First gig with S16 and XiControl - new ideas for XiControl Hello Just got home from my first gig with S16 and XiControl w iPad. For S16 i can say - setup is a breeze - after gig cable collecting is a breeze - and when alone at gig, being able to switch phantom on channels on/off while on stage is great. 8)~8-)~:cool: I got S16 with 4-ch power-amp in one rack. For second S16 I need to do some thinking - similar or perhaps 8 ampchannels... And just to think - if you get one S16 and three different lenght CAT-cables ( 15m + 40m + 100m ) - how much would same set of three traditional copper snake cost 8O~8-O~:shock: - shortest for small stuff - medium for clubs etc - long for outdoor iPad-control Setting up monitors without having to run back and forth between stage and booth is a real improvement. More time and energy for finetuning 8)~8-)~:cool: The place has a booth for mixer way back with large holes / windows - ceiling is low - so in the booth everything sounds way different than in the middle of the crowd. I simply left mixer alone most of the time and got inside crowd to do my job. Like said earlier - audience paid more than regular attention to my job - and some ladies were smiling perhaps meaningfully friendly :roll: Now the setup of everything in groups of 8 instead of sideways gliding banks of faders is a bit problematic. I have this old setup in X32, where 4 vocalmics are in channels 8-11 - pagejumping follows - in the future I must rearrange inputs to suit XiControl, which is necessarily NOT the best input order at X32 - after all I am used to channels relating to positions on stage : Drms - bass - backline L-R - Vocals L-R. So I still wish Behringer propellerheads would introduce a combination of both worlds : keep the blocks of 8 as "basestations", but allow gliding sideways from one to next. I also got idea of having more things on display at the same time. What if ??? If we turn iPad upright and the mixer would rotate like many apps do and so become half the size filling the lower half of iPad screen - on the upper half could be perhaps user-selectable stuff - individual channel settings - effect/dynamics-settings etc. As conclusion - this whole concept around X32 seems marvellously great - despite of slight dissappointment around the first X16 information, I am really waiting for next years releases. :D~:-D~:grin: [/QUOTE]
