LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – Gand Sound provided a complete NEXO sound system for Viper Alley Concert Club, which opened in early March with American Idol winner Lee DeWyze performing for 200 online raffle ticket winners. The brainchild of Scott Greenberg, creator of the Wit, a boutique hotel in Chicago, Viper Alley is also making use of Yamaha StageMix software.
StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that allows remote control of the Yamaha M7CL digital console's mix functions via a graphic interface from anywhere within wireless range. The application enables an engineer to set up monitor mixes from a performer's position on stage, controlling mix parameters via the iPad.
Controllable parameters implemented in StageMix include Sends on Faders, Input Channel Faders, Input Channel On/Off, Input Channel Parametric EQs, Input Channel Cue, Mix Master Faders, Mix Bus On/Off, Mix Bus Parametric EQs, Mix Bus Cue, Last Cue/Mix Cue Mode, and Clear All Cues.
"The new iPad app for the M7CL-48 allows me to adjust monitor mixes from onstage while the band is playing, and walk the room to adjust the various zones in the concert seating area, ensuring that everyone hears what they came for," said Aaron Patkin, Gand tech.
Acts at Viper Alley include Victor Wooten and Stanley Clarke, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and blues legend Johnny Winter.
