24.4.2 iPad connectivity issues.

it sees changes that I make on the aster control on the computer but will not initiate them

The iPad application will be dim when it is not connected to a SL board.

To use the app, you must have:
SL Mixer
Computer (Mac or Windows) connected to the board using firewire
Universal Control program running on the computer and working with the Mixer
iPad app running > Select mixer and CONNECT.

At this point, you need to go into Universal Control on the computer and select SETTINGS. You will see an interface to authorize the iPad (or iPhones running qMix) to control the board. Once you give your iPad the authorization, the app will no longer be dimmed and you can control the mixer.

Hope that helps.
