The Offline Editor also offers compatibility with DiGiCo consoles’ offline editor, making it possible to set up the console remotely without having a console and KLANG processor on hand.
“Imagine you are sitting on a tour bus to the next gig and you need to make quick changes. Now, you just need your laptop to open an existing show file, adapt it for a different KLANG processor, or changes in the band or equipment available. With just the press of a button you can preview the mix settings with KLANG:app’s built-in :kontroller emulator,” says KLANG’s CEO Dr. Roman Scharrer.
KOS 5.3 also offers improved Remote Management, adding an extra layer of security to the KLANG system. Administrators are now able to restrict access to the system with password protection, and help musicians to connect and configure their :apps remotely. In addition, musicians can be locked to their mix to prevent them from changing another mix.
This goes hand in hand with the possibility to hide and protect certain channels, e.g., a talkback channel, that should be audible in the musician’s mix, but only be controlled by an engineer. Hiding channels also helps to maintain a cleaner channel list for musicians, for example when working with the tactile :kontroller interface. A new feature allows you to sort and search through all KLANG devices found on the network and indicates which devices need attention.
