Allen & Heath dLive Module for Companion

Connecting to the dLive

The connection accepts three parameters:

Target IP

The IP address of the dLive console. By default this is 192.168.1.70 for a MixRack and 192.168.1.71 for a surface.

MIDI Port

The MIDI TCP port to connect to. By default this is 51325 for a MixRack and 51328 for a surface.

Main MIDI Channels

The MIDI channels used to control the console. By default this is 1 to 5 but can be changed in the console settings.
