Soundcraft has announced v2.0 of its ViSi Remote iPad app.

Providing remote control of the Vi, Si Compact, Si Performer and Si Expression mixing consoles wirelessly from an iPad, the app connects via a wireless router to the Harman HiQnet Ethernet port of the console. Version 2.0 brings the ability for Si Compact, Performer and Expression users to adjust channel strip settings per channel including settings for gate, compressor and EQ, along with pan, LR/mono routing and phase invert switching. This functionality will be added to Vi consoles in a future update.

Use of ViSi Remote 2.0 allows a front of house mix to be adjusted from anywhere in a room; and monitor levels so be set from next to the artist. In addition, there is control over channel strip settings and the option to extend the fader count of a control surface of add a separate surface for DMX functionality (Si Performer only). Use in standalone mode offers familiarisation with console functions, control of a network of consoles (FOH and monitor) and allows multiple users on a single console to control their own mixes.
