L-20 Control

Basic functionality is fine but it’s missing so much: • A paste function to duplicated settings from channel to channel • Gain and compression controls in app • iPhone version for quick changes and transport controls quick at hand • More track colors or a rgb selector • Ability to pair stereo tracks • Ability to label tracks with names I’m sure there is more. As said, it’s basic functionality is fine, it’s quick to acquire via bluetooth, no connections issues or drop outs so far, graphics are crisp and clean. etc. Please consider updating more. Since this is the only way to use the full function of this unit, seems like the whole app was an afterthought. I owned the L-20 and L-12, the unit is sound and works great, proven, but the rack version is lacking in more ways that just to get it into a rack.

This iPad controller works well for controlling the L-20. Improvements could be made in the touch sensitivity of the virtual sliders and rotating knobs. It is difficult to control as the sliders jump around under the finger. Since they are below the finger it is difficult to see where they are set exactly. It would be much better if the controls were not so sensitive. In addition, it would be nice to have the ability to double click on the value fields and then enter a number directly. Another nice addition would be to have an iPhone or Android compatible version which would be for users of the monitoring channels. For example, just a simple app for controlling the mix levels going to the Monitor outs. This would allow each band member to control what they are hearing without the complication of having all the other features of the board. Just not sure if the bluetooth connection itself would support this.

I’ve been using this regularly for several months now. As a device, I like it. However as an app, it is severely limited as an iPad only app. I don’t use iPads on stage and I despise the fact that I have to bring along an iPad for gigs. The big Yamaha boards have been iPhone compatible for years and is a great way to control a personal mix. If I could use the tiny supercomputer in my pocket to control this thing instead of a larger iPad I’d easily give the app 4 stars. Give me more better reverb options on the FX channel and I might even make it 5 stars.

There is absolutely no reason why this shouldn’t be compatible with an iPhone. Every competitor is and you already have the infrastructure from an iPad app. The biggest issue with this is the need for an ipad. Of the 5 members of my band, we only have one iPad which means we take turns dialing it in instead of everyone at once. If the iPad breaks or dies, we are screwed. Would probably be 4 stars with an iPhone/Android app.

Lao another thing would make this worth buying Bluetooth receiver is the ability to export, audio files, MP3 airwaves, and send Stem files of all the tracks. That could put this device on top of the competition.

Need to be able to save file.

Also would be nice if my band mates could minimize the app to look at their music sheets and come back to this app and not be disconnected.

Tittle says it all add those updates and I’ll upgrade my review

Things have been great * * * * * this past year but now, after iOS 16 upgrade on my iPad Pro, this app crashes multiple times mid-session. It’s making my L-20R unusable. Please fix this Zoom so I can get back to work!

This needs an iPhone app for a host of reasons. If battery runs out on ipad then at least I’d have a back up with my phone or someone else’s phone. Since I’m only running a few channels most of the time I really don’t need a big screen to manage everything. In addition to having the virtual knobs to change the EQ it would be really nice to be able to add frequency points on the EQ curve to pinpoint the exact frequency I want to change. The ability to select which effects I want for each effect channel would be great. There are two effects I like but they are both in the same effect slot so I can’t use them both at the same time. I love being able to label all the tracks however it would be nice to be able to clear all labels at once rather than one at a time to reset them. Faders are really touchy. When I grab a fader to move up or down in volume the fader jumps to my finger right away sometimes causing the volume to get loud before I can change it. Would be great if the fader didn’t move upon touching it and only move when I actually slide my finger. There is a lot of good stuff here but I don’t think there has been an update to this app in a over a year. Doesn’t make me feel confident that anything is going to get any better which is a shame. I love the portability of this unit and the recordings sound really good and have been a great benefit.
