do you think this could work? Use an app for ipad or tablet like TouchOSC, get a wireless midi adapter, one end in the ipad and one end in the L6, then set the ipad up to control the mixer so you or someone else can mix you off stage?
Great stuff! I’m curious about whether the sample pads have any sort of time limit. Theoretically they shouldn’t if they’re just reading off of the SD card. Correct?
Thank you! I don't think there is a time limit for the sound pads, but admittedly, I haven't pushed that theory to it's limit. I've only loaded some quick one-shot samples. I'll try to put a long WAV file in there and see what happens. I hope to get a video about the sound pads made at some point soon.
If you use this to provide multi track inputs to an iPad via usbc, that’s also recording video, will the zoom L6 continue to send audio over usb-c if it too is recording to its micro-SD card?
Yes, it should. You are supposed to be able to simultaneously record to the microSD card while it's working as an interface. The caveat right now is that I'm struggling to get it to work as an interface for iOS devices. I'm getting 2in/2out when I connect it to an iPad or iPhone, but I'm not always getting a consistent monitor return. I haven't been able to get 6 or 10 multitrack signals being sent to my iPad. I just get the L/R master sent. I'm not sure what's wrong yet, but I haven't had the time to sit down and troubleshoot with a variety of cables and setting changes. When I figure it out I'll be sure to post a video about it's use as an interface. But it's possible it still needs a firmware update to unlock it's full potential as an interface. I just don't know yet.
@@GazRendarI’ve seen this mentioned a few times so I asked them and here was their reply: We have isolated and identified the issue causing the L6 to not be recognized as a 12 channel interface with some iPads and apps. It will work as a 2 channel interface that sends the stereo mix to the iPad. Unfortunately, it is caused by a bug that needs to be fixed by Apple. We have submitted all of the information to Apple and we hope to see a fix as soon as possible. We will follow up with you as soon as we have any update.
That would be helpful, but I don't see an easy way they can do with that firmware since they didn't put any other buttons on the face of the unit. Maybe through the PC or Mac app that could be controlled, but that's probably about it....
Good info and vid. I've got this mixer but not opened it out the box yet...it looks way smaller then my L12..👍🏻
Thanks. And it's MUCH smaller than the L-12...but it's still a pretty capable unit.

Would be crazy if you could drop a playlist onto them. One long file of songs to play between sets
Ha...I guess that could work. I'll try it out.

Would be cool if they added individual track arming on a future firmware, but I guess that goes beyond the purpose of this box.

@@GazRendar Maybe a combo of mute buttons with some other button. I guess the hardest part is supporting simultaneous partial playback and recording.
