[QUOTE="Jimmy Holub, post: 92945, member: 4690"] Conceptual design & nomenclature of the X32 Software/App series I am really disappointed in the conceptual and nomenclative aspects of the line of softwares for the X32. Here are some ideas for improvement that could permeate the entire world of Music Group... Please send a check payable to "Jimmy Holub"... List of Softwares, new names: 1. X32 Design Center 2. X32 Control Live 3. X32 Monitor Live ----- Details ----- [B]1.0 [SIZE=4]X32 Design Center[/SIZE][/B] 1.1 Previously known as "[B]X32-Edit[/B]". 1.2 [rant]I think "Edit" really does not explain very well what people do with this software.[/rant] 1.3.1 Primary Function: advanced [B]design [/B]of and/or changes to the X32 system architecture. 1.3.2 Secondary Function: [B]live control[/B] of the X32 and its network. 1.4 Primarily designed for [B]Audio Engineers[/B] (all types: live, studio, etc.). 1.5 Subject to audio tech permissions via username and password, as specified by an administrator. Useful for permanent installations such as stadia and arenas, especially if they have the rack-mounted version of the X32. 1.6 Software & Hardware Platforms: Advanced (BUT CRASH-RESISTANT) computer software for standard [B]desktop, laptop and rack-mounted computers[/B]. Not available on any other type of device. 1.7 OS Platforms: Windows, Mac OSx, Linux. [B][SIZE=4][SIZE=2]2.0 [/SIZE]X32 Control Live[/SIZE][/B] 2.1 Previously known as "[B]XiControl[/B]". 2.2 [rant]Seriously? "i"? I am disappointed. Let's not get into the whole narcissistic "i" business, and let's not bind ourselves to the Apple platform. I would like to see Android et al in the future. ...and hey, the new name still has a lower-case "i" in the word "Live", so all the Apple freaks don't get their undies in a bundle.[/rant] 2.3 Primary Function: [B]live control[/B] of the entire X32, on the fly. 2.4 Primarily designed for [B]Live Sound Reinforcement Engineers[/B]. 2.5 Subject to audio tech permissions as specified by an administrator. 2.6 Software & Hardware Platforms: App for [B]tablets & regular computers[/B]. Great smooth interface for Darth Fader. Not available for smartphones. 2.7 OS Platforms: Apple iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OSx, Linux, ?? [SIZE=4][B][SIZE=2]3.0[/SIZE] X32 Monitor Live[/B][/SIZE] 3.1 Previously known as "[B]XiQ[/B]". 3.2 [rant]Again... There is no "i" in "team". (Ok, so there is a "me", but "i" digress...) Again, let's not bind ourselves to the Apple platform. I would like to see Android et al in the future. Also, the old name does NOT in any way give an idea of what the heck this software does. All it does is facilitate narcissists in the flattering of themselves, via the "iQ".[/rant] 3.3 Primary Function: [B]control monitors[/B]. 3.4 Primarily designed for [B]musicians[/B], but also useable by others in special remote applications who should have restricted control of few mixes or only one mix. Very useful to musicians both on stage and in the studio. 3.5 Advanced [B]permissions [/B]configurable from console, Control Live or Design Center. Permissions granted per "X32 Event" (entire set of scenes for a show) or per Admin Account in the X32 control system (i.e. name of a band). App user needs password to acquire access to control a specific monitor mix (each mix can be configured in Design Center to have discrete password), or a different password for the entire set of monitor mixes. Levels of permission (1 monitor mix versus all monitor mixes) and their passwords are created in and administrated via Design Center, Control Live or the console itself. 3.6 Software genre: [B]App available on all types of hardware devices.[/B] [B]Smartphones, tablets and regular computers![/B] On tablets and regular computers, the GUI is simply enlarged. Allows musicians/other live users to use whatever portable devices they have. Software for regular computers allows extremely limited access to non-technicians in permanent-installation environments, keeping them safely away from the nuclear weapons of Design Center. 3.7 OS Platforms: Apple iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OSx, Linux, ?? ..."well, it sounded like a good idea at the time..." haha all of us have done this at one time or another.
