Yamaha Commercial Audio has launched MG Rec & Play, an iPhone and iPad app which allows high-quality recording and playback for MG Series XU models mixing consoles.
MG Rec & Play enables high-quality recording and playback of songs and sound effects from an iPhone or iPad via any MG Series XU model. The app can be used for a wide range of purposes, including recording songwriting sessions, band rehearsals and live gigs to providing background music or sound effects for events.
The audio recorder function allows two-track recording from the stereo bus in high-quality WAV format. Sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz are supported, while the interface is designed to allow visual monitoring of the recording settings and status. It also provides instant playback of recorded tracks.
The audio player function provides playback of up to 72 songs or sound effects, arranged as nine banks of eight ‘tiles’, each of which can be assigned to a song or sound effect from the connected iPhone or iPad’s music library. It delivers flexibility to live performance applications requiring background music, triggered backing tracks, musical accompaniment or productions and functions that require the use of sound effects.
Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, or a Lightning-to-USB camera adapter and USB cable are required to connect an iPhone or iPad to a MG Series XU console.
