Hoping someone sees this, 1st. Is custom on the pad the same as a layer on the desk? 2nd. When I set a custom layout on my iPad, no one else can see it. Is this right? Thanks.

Hi, iPad layers exist only on the iPad itself. You can make an iPad custom layer match a desk layer by using Copy Desk Layer and choosing which to copy from. Changing the desk doesn't then automatically change on the iPad. It doesn't work the other way around, so whatever layers you configure on an iPad stay on that device only. Hope that helps.

Been going thru these tutorials as I'm new to our church and this is the board we are using. Very helpful and I'm learning a lot about this board in a very straight forward fashion. I have a question about this section though. Is it also compatible with Android tablets? I have a Tab S8+ and I would think in this day and age it'd be compatible for both, but I know how some companies still cater to Apple. Thanks for these videos!!

Hi, glad you are finding the videos helpful. Yes, there is an Android version of the app, I use it on my phone, and it is pretty much exactly the same as the iOS version. We just happen to use an iPad in church because they are easy for people to use in that context.

Awesome to hear!! Can't wait to take what I've learned and start applying it. Our church is the same as well, they've got an iPad, I was just hoping my tablet would be good as it's got a nice 12 inch screen. Thanks again!!@@stjamesstyvechalepateam

Hello, we have recently purchased the SQ6 consul and intend to connect an iPad to it. What is the process of sinking an iPad to the consul? Is there any risk of losing files? As it comes up with a warning message, and we are unsure what to do.

[@stjamesstyvechalepateam]

If you connect the iPad to the desk as I do there is no 'syncing', the iPad just shows the same channels as the desk and acts as a remote control. I'm not sure what warning message you mean - it depends what you are trying to do and what the message says.

[@Elior1030]

how do you pan a channel from the app?

[@stjamesstyvechalepateam]

It's not something I've ever needed to use, and I think only available in the Routing section when you select a channel.

@stjamesstyvechalepateam Got it. Thank you for replying.
