Step 3: Getting started

M32 MIX App for iPad*
Many functions of the M32C console can be remotely
controlled by a dedicated app for iPad. Details about
the app's download, setup and operation are
included in a separate user manual available for
download from the M32C product page.
The app's User Interface is optimized for the
touchscreen nature of the iPad device and
concentrates on the most important remote features
of the console only. Using the app, you can perform
functions such as adjusting monitor mixes from the
stage while interacting with musicians, or adjusting
the front-of-house mix from the audience,
while hearing the mix exactly as the audience does.
M32 EDITOR for Windows*/OS X*/Linux*
Also off ered is a separate remote editor running
on host computers that will allow for complete editing
control of the M32C via Ethernet. Details of the remote
editor's download, setup and operation are included
in a separate user manual available for download from
the M32C product page. Check out midasconsoles.com
for more information.
Tip: The M32C remote communication is OSC-based
(open sound control) and we will share the protocol
on our website, allowing developers to design their
own control software. Stay tuned to midasconsoles.
com for details on the OSC protocol.

The fi rmware can easily be updated by performing
the following steps:
• Download the new console fi rmware from the
M32C product page onto the root level of a USB
thumb drive
• Plug the USB thumb drive into the front panel USB
connector while the console is turned off
• Hold the SELECT knob depressed while switching
the console on. While booting, the M32C
will run a fully automatic fi rmware update,
which will take 2-3 minutes longer than the
regular boot sequence
When no update fi le is available on the USB drive,
or when it is corrupted, the update mode will remain
active, preventing the M32C from booting regularly.
Switch the console off and back on without holding
the SELECT knob to boot the console with the
existing fi rmware.
CAUTION: Please do not block the vent openings on
the sides of the M32C cabinet! Specifi cally when
mounting the M32C in a road case, please ensure
there is suffi cient space to allow for some airfl ow.
