I guess this is more of an idea than a request. I know that there is support through the rigger remote for iphone and such, but is there any way we could get better support on the ipad? I just bought one and would really like to make the large touch screen a useable tool. The internet based riggers remote is often slow depending on the internet connection. Maybe Elation/cuelux could design an ipad app that allowed more than just playbacks ie programing cues, controlling fixtures without cues.
gold, thanks for sharing your ideas with us. I agree a iPad app or riggers remote function would be cool. I will definitely share your idea with our R&D people. Sincerely,

I second this request. There should be no reason why it wouldnt be possible to have a feature rich iPad app that is on the same par as the Mac app. It would actually be easier to use, more like a controller, because you can actually touch the screen to make stuff happen.
At this point, I am in the process of working out a deal with the maker of Emulation where he would give me an extra Emucable for my work. It took me over two months to get my interface to fully work. Getting faders to move was very simple, some other things not so much. . . Hopefully we will make a deal and everyone can use this interface (or at least have the files to tweak it to their own likings)
I really like the iPad app you made, and I hope to see a release soon. We are looking for a more full featured iPad app than the current official one - and yours looks like a great start!
"Jingles" the moderator assured me that he will follow up with the developer about getting this going.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Michael Moore,
I said if there is enough interest shown to elation in this thread from Emulation users I will show this thread to the "powers that be". There already does seem to be a lot of interest in this, Sincerely,

Stuff like smart phones and these touch pads are becoming rapidly accepted by almost all aspects of this industry, especially lighting and sound. It's in the best interest of many vendors to try to support some sort of interface and platform allowing mobile device support to help out. Us small guys benefit because we can work solo. The big guys, it just gives them more options.
