Roland Systems Group Announces iPad Control for M-480 Digital Console

Roland Systems Group announces a dedicated iPad application to control the Roland M-480 digital mixing console. The application is designed to control parameters of the M-480 allowing the user to store scenes and edit the Channel Strip (EQ), GEQ, and sends on fader to name a few.

Using wireless LAN to connect, customers are able to adjust mixing parameters on stage or around the room, away from the M-480 positioned at the front-of-house. By connecting Roland's new wireless connect USB adapter to the M-480 USB port, the M-480 can appear on a wireless network enabling the iPad to connect and control the M-480.

"The success of the iPad as a tool in live audio applications is clear. This dedicated app is an important step in a series of logical progressions in our development of remote controlled applications for operators", states John Broadhead, vice president of technology and communications.

The beta version of the app will be demonstrated at InfoComm in booth C10308, running June 13-15, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The app is expected to be released in the app store in third quarter of this year.
