WING Copilot

WING Copilot 1.8 Release Plan The Copilot app supports different types of live or studio work, when an engineer is away from the console or when tasks are split with others. Phase 1. Performance Setup This section is especially tailored to the activities during setup and line-check. Prepare all Sources and Outputs while patching signals to i/o boxes on stage. Sources can be named, tagged, given a color or an icon. Sources also own the head-amp properties such as gain or phantom power. While making connections on stage, WING Sources can all be declared either as Mono, or as odd/even numbered pairs for Stereo or Mid-Side use. Your partner on FOH or monitoring console can instantaneously use the Sources you have defined remotely, e.g. patching them to Channels or splitting them to Outputs. The Copilot app also allows patching Bus, Main or Matrix Outputs to physical stage box outputs. You can also read their assignments, so you know where to connect amp racks or active speakers. FOH to stage communication is very important, Copilot also provides access to talkback functions. Phase 2. Metering: Additional metering can be displayed on your iPad next to your console touchscreen. It includes levels of all Sources, Channels and Outputs and an RTA that can follow the selected channel or be assigned to a fixed signal path.   Phase 3. Monitor Mixing: The Monitor Mixing UI is reduced to the essential parameters of personalized monitoring applications and offers an additional lock function to reduce the risk of accidentally selecting the wrong bus. In addition to individual channels, this section also provides an MCA view, where several levels can be adopted by a single control. Phase 4. Front of House: The FOH section is designed for mixing from within the audience, essential when placing the console in a less than optimal position. Aside from good overview of all fader layers, DCAs and Mutegroups this section also provides access to the processing of channels, buses, mains and matrices. This also includes access to the assignment and customization of DCAs and Mutegroups. Phase 5. Effect Section: The effect section will add full effect editing support to the FOH section. Based on interactive hardware emulations, this section will enable the App for controlling all FX-Parameters just like with the WING touch interface.   Key Features: • Customize all Sources, Channels and Outputs • Declare WING Sources as Mono/Stereo/Mid-Side • Configure head-amp properties • Patch Sources to Channels and Outputs • Create and control connections between Channels, Buses, Mains and Matrices • Set up and control the Talkback • Metering for single Sources, Channels and Outputs • Control Monitor-Mixes for IEMs and wedges • Mix for Front of House • Control Channel Processing  Requirements: * Requires a wireless router connected to the WING Personal Mixing Console * Copilot 1.8 requires WING console firmware 1.10 or higher
