HiQ net iOS control

J.Luszczek

It's great that there is a native iPhone and iPad control app. I can't wait to try it.
But can any of the Harman people explain what exactly is not possible in the app?
Reading the only review on iTunes it seems that the app is fairly limited:

Get used to reading the words \"HiQnet Motion Control does not support this type of control\" when working in System Architect. I didn't expect to find it would support the intricate designs I usually create in London Architect but it can't even support half of the basic controls in System Architect.

It's functional, I won't take that away from it. That said, functional is not nearly enough to keep my customers happy.

Thanks Iain,

That is indeed a fairly limited set of controls.
On my control panels I rely on Logic Sources, Gains and source selectors a lot. Sometimes I give the users some basic EQ and controls for live microphone input.
With the currently available set I could not set the mic input sensitivity, turn on high pass filter (without some routing gymnastics) and adjust mic dynamics processing.
I hope this is all still work in progress and you will be adding more controls to the list.

We'll be adding more controls and support for additional parameters in future versions of HiQnet Motion Control and HiQnet System Architect.

In the meantime, there are some workarounds for getting into the Logic domain such as using e.g. Mute buttons from N-Input Gains to drive the Logic Sources, and placing the Mutes on the iOS panels. There are creative workarounds for other parameters too. 8)

I'll be keeping my eyes on the Soundweb London User Group to monitor the iOS-related posts - it'll help us make sure we're prioritizing the new controls and parameters correctly.

Cheers for this Info, Really need those logic sources

I created a set of parameter presets for the positions on an input gain fader. There would be 9 total. I then used a 16 input source selector and tied that to a logic value block that had four outputs. The logic value block was tied to a preset table block. The end result is a source selector that each source recalls the preset for the corresponding step on the gain fader. 1=0db, 2=6db, 3=12db etc.

After all that, I set the inputs on the source selector back to 9. I exported that and imported to System Architect as a drop down box. It seemed to work

A little tedious, but it's not too bad if you have only a couple gains to work with. Unfortunatly, since much of the other rotary type SVs (ration on a compressor for instance) aren't in the list, I haven't found a way to make those work yet.

When Can we expect an update with More comprehensive LA controlls supported?

Or has this been put on the Backburner due to the upcoming Audio Architect release? From all the info on the Harmon website is appears obvious that Audio Archetect might see the end of LA?

We're about to provide support for a significant number of additional SVs in HiQnet Motion Control but they have to go through final testing before I can publish the list.

I promise I'll post the list here as soon as I can.

:shock: Watch this space...

I have a question... I am trying to create an IOS panel for control of a venue. The system is composed of a Blu-100 and a Blu-bob. I dont see any way of exporting the BOB to a device file. Is this not currently supported? Will it be supported and if so, any idea when?

HARMAN_Jerome_King

The BLU-BOB is not software controllable. There are no parameters which can be changed inside the BLU-BOB.

henry

Thanks, I realized that after I had posted, I dont know what I was thinking... oops...

JBL4750

So when will I be able to get control of our AVB devices via the IOS app?
