What is AC-X?
AC-X is a wireless control surface app designed for Apple's Logic Pro X and other recording/mixing systems. It uses Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth for connecting to the host computer. The app maximizes screen real estate for hands-on mixing and provides quick access to deeper functions via a slide-in control panel. The transport buttons are integrated into the time display at the top of the screen to always be available. The app uses the industry-standard MCU protocol and works with most recording/mixing software out there.
1. For the initial release, the control panel button layout is set up for Logic Pro X… but the main mixing screen should work with most other systems too.
2. Your iPad needs iOS 8 and Bluetooth 4.0 in order to use the MIDI over Bluetooth system (basically iPad 3rd generation or newer), but will happily run in 8 channel mode using Wi-Fi only.
3. It was designed to maximise screen real estate for hands on mixing, whilst also giving quick access to deeper functions via a slide-in control panel which can be summoned to either side of the mixer screen.
4. The host computer also needs Bluetooth 4.0 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite for MIDI over Bluetooth, older OS X versions can support Wi-Fi only (8 channels).
5. Introducing AC-X, a 16 channel wireless control surface for Apple’s Logic Pro X and other recording/mixing systems.
6. It uses Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth for connecting to the host computer.
7. Likewise, the transport buttons (play, stop etc) are integrated into the time display at the top of the screen to always be available.
8. The app uses the industry standard MCU protocol, so should work with most recording/mixing software out there (but not Pro Tools yet).
9. Indeed you can sometimes get better results by creating a private Wi-Fi network between your Mac and the iPad.
10. Remember that you don’t need an existing Wi-Fi network.
