There is Tracker option in the OSC menu, shortcut F4. The term comes from me and may be it is not the best, means focus tracks changes in the mixer. Sorry if there is already a good term to describe the behavior.

Don't forget to switch it off when operating AOSC since any external changes will auto-navigate throw the interface and can be confusing.

Thank you for this clarification.  Having any changes reported from any means of controlling the mixer would still be awesome.  How does one place Air Access into tracking mode?  I'm assuming this means tracking changes to the mixer rather than "tracking" as in recording. 

I will continue to research using the X-touch with X-air to determine if it will work for our situation.  Unfortunately, the decision regarding the X-Air 18 has already been made.  It was donated to them several months ago. 

AOSC does not support control surfaces on its own. And so AOSC can't define what you control nor reace when you just touch a fader.
The only report you can get is from Tracking mode on AOSC. When some parameter defined in AOSC is changed in the mixer, it will focus corresponding element in AOSC and your screen reader will do the trick.
So if something in X-Air is controllable by X-Touch, you will get corresponding feedback from AOSC. When you change something, not just touch. I think it should work for most parameters, but I never had X-Touch and so don't have real experience.

You connect X-Touch to X-Air. The protocol is not strictly Mackie, Behringer has designed specific approach for the combination.

AOSC Tracking is working for any changes, so you also get report from Behringer app, in case sighted mates are using it.


X32 Producer has 17 strips instead of 9 of X-Touch, so less banks switching during live mixing, apart from other advantages. And the price is not drastically higher then X-Air plus X-Touch combination. Gerad took that way.  If it is not too late, may be you can consider that as well.

Hello, I am so grateful this project exists!!  At first I was very sad when my organization got an X-Air 18, and I worried that I wouldn't be able to mix live sound for them anymore.  But this project showed me that it is, in deed, still possible. 

I have a question though:  I would love to use an X-Touch control surface with physical faders.  Ideally, I'd love to be able to touch a fader and have NVDA report the channel name or number and current level before I move it.  I'd also love for it to confirm when I've muted or unmuted a channel.  I'd also really love to be able to control FX parameters with the control surface when I enter those pages.  Is this something that is currently possible through Air Access 18?  Would I connect the X-touch directly to the mixer, or would I connect it to the Windows laptop / tablet running AOSC and Air Access?  Would it use the Mackey protocol or would I have to do MIDI mapping?  Thanks for any insights you may have, and thanks for your work on the project. 

Hi Alexey
Okay thanks for info.
I'll ask Mark if it's possible to do but if not possible then I'll do it manually each time.
Best regards
Robert

Hello Robert,

I don't think API supports different "meters".

Alexey.

Hello Alexey
I hope you are well!

Can you tell me if there is any way to use AZ controller to switch the Replay meters from post fader to pre fader.  (and also pre fader to post fader).

I want to incorporate this switching into one of my operating modes.

Regards
Robert

Hello Kevin,

This board is for AZ Controller, so after a while I will move the thread to AOSC board. But for the moment lets continue here.

AOSC is not the only accessible solution available. You can check alternatives for a possibility to do something AOSC can't. https://sites.google.com/site/patrickmaillot/x32
Some of these utilities also work on Apple. Especially note X32 emulator there. It really can imitate X32, I was using it during development since I never had real X32. And these projects are open source.

Once you have something loaded into real X32 or its emulator, you can save relevant sections as AOSC native presets. They are not the same for XAir, even for the same sections, so can't be used directly. But format is the same and all AOSC presets are text files. So theoretically, in case some page for XAir is close to related page in X32, text parser can be written. But I doubt such effort is simpler then manual recreating relevant settings.

I don't have Mac and so I don't and can't develop anything for it at the moment. AOSC is closed source program, sorry. I have developed it to be used for free, but not as open source. So it can't be a basis for other developers.

Good morning. I am a relatively new user to X Air access and am loving it.
A couple of thoughts and questions.
It would be fantastic to be able to load a sceen into the x32 version of this without a mixer plugged in so I could see channels and settings that I might be able to paste into  an X18 instance.
I have tons of presets that I've purchased from the x32 side, and I want to be able to cut them down to fit the parameters of the x18.
Is this were the sceen parser comes in?
What is the best way to somehow import .CHN files and convert them to your native presets so I can browse through them and load different channel, eq, and fx presets that were originally for an x32. .
My appologies if this is in the wrong forum, but since I'm wondering if there is a way to make it possible to load sceens offline, I thought I'd put it here to get some discussion going.
Also, if I wanted to hire a programmer to port this over to Mac, what might that look like. We really need a mac option for this because it's brilliant, and I'm willing to pay.

Thanks so much for any help you might be able to provide.

Kevin

Hello, have you tested with the newest version (91)
