Mixing Intern

Console compatibility

What Mixing Intern can do on each console, generated straight from the app’s own console profiles — so this page says exactly what the app does. Tap a row for the reasons behind anything short of tested.

Tested

Tested on a real console. Built and run against a real board.

Untested

Built, not yet tested. Built from the maker’s protocol documentation and offered in the app, but not yet run on a real board. It should work — using it is how it gets confirmed.

Planned

Planned. The console can do it and the app should; it isn’t built yet, so the app hides it.

No

Not available. A deliberate gap: the console, or the protocol the app speaks to it, can’t do it. The app hides it and says why.

    Read from the app port by analogy with the CQ (index at +16) and shown in the CQ’s colour order, which the SQ may not share

  • SQUntested

    The SQ pushes every NRPN change on its MIDI channel. Built from A&H’s SQ MIDI Protocol issue 5 (the CQ’s is its subset, live-verified); not yet run against a real SQ
Meters
Channel input metersInput levels, activity, level history, signal webhooks, reference-mic SPLTestedTestedPlannedTestedTested

Channel output metersRoute protection's own-insert watchTestedTestedNoNoNo
  • SQNo

    The SQ’s MIDI protocol carries no meters

  • X32No

    The X32 meters every channel’s input and its gate and compressor in bulk, but a post-fader level only for the one selected channel

  • AvantisNo

    The Avantis meters every input before its fader, at whichever point its console-wide meter setting picks — none of them after the fader

Gate / compressor metersGain-reduction meters in the channel editorTestedNoNoTestedTested
  • CQ-18TNo

    The meter stream carries the compressor’s gain reduction, but the app shows gain reduction in the processing editor, which a CQ doesn’t get

    DCA 1–4: levels read and pushed live; level writes not yet tried. Its mute is worked out from its members (who’s in it comes from the app port), and a scene carries its level only — see below

  • SQUntested

    DCA 1–8 masters and mutes; a scene carries their levels only, for now (see below). Built from A&H’s SQ MIDI Protocol issue 5 (the CQ’s is its subset, live-verified); not yet run against a real SQ

DCA mutes of their ownScenes recall a DCA's mute apart from its channels'TestedNoPlannedTestedTested
  • CQ-18TNo

    On a CQ a DCA’s mute is an action on its members: it mutes or unmutes every one, whatever each was, and reads as muted only while all of them are (mute groups too; checked on a CQ-18T). The channel mutes already say it all, so scenes carry those

  • SQPlanned

    Not known yet whether an SQ’s DCA mute is a state of its own or, as on a CQ, an action on its members. Until an SQ is checked, scenes leave DCA mutes to the channel mutes — writing one could unmute channels a scene muted

Mute groupsMixes sectionTestedUntestedUntestedTestedTested
  • CQ-18TUntested

    Mute groups 1–4: like a DCA’s, the mute acts on the members, so its state is worked out from theirs (membership from the app port; a get always says off, A&H ID-1878). Writes not yet tried; no names

  • SQUntested

    Mute groups 1–8 (no names). Built from A&H’s SQ MIDI Protocol issue 5 (the CQ’s is its subset, live-verified); not yet run against a real SQ

Integrations

Integrations that need the console

These ride on a console capability, so they work wherever it does. Planning Center, ProPresenter, MIDI, Spotify, Shure wireless, room measurement and Claude don’t depend on the console.
