Relay can connect to supported digital mixing consoles over your network, turning your dashboard into a control and monitoring surface for audio workflows.

What audio console integration provides

  • Channel-name sync
  • Scene and snapshot recall on supported models — DiGiCo is the one notable exception; see below
  • Planning Center assignments to console channels
  • Rundown cues and snapshots
  • MIDI-based scene mapping on supported models
  • Automation destinations
Exactly which of these a given console supports depends on the model — see Console actions for the full per-brand breakdown of what each integration can actually do.

Add an audio console

  1. Open Relay > Settings, then select External Devices.
  2. Click Add Device.
  3. Set the device type to Audio Console.
  4. Choose the model or family.
  5. Enter the host, IP, and port.
  6. Configure any model-specific options.
  7. Save the device.

Common model notes

  • X32/M32: OSC-based workflows, channel-name sync, cue or snippet sending, plus standard scene recall, mute, level, and pan automation actions with no third-party bridge required
  • Allen and Heath Qu: MIDI over TCP/IP, with 11 distinct automation action kinds (scene recall, soft key, channel/group/send/FX levels and mutes) — see Console actions
  • Allen and Heath SQ, dLive, and Avantis: MixRack or Surface target selection
  • Yamaha: MIDI input and output plus Program Change mappings, across DM7, RIVAGE PM, and CL/QL model families; DM7 and RIVAGE also support standard scene recall, mute, level, and pan automation actions directly, with no third-party bridge required
  • DiGiCo: show RTF import for channel mapping when needed, plus direct OSC channel-name sync, DiGiCo automation actions, and a clearer Brand/Model split in console settings

DiGiCo

DiGiCo workflows include:
  • syncing channel names from the console directly into Relay over OSC (“Sync from DiGiCo”)
  • Mute, Solo, Fader, and Recall Macro automation actions across input, aux, group, matrix, and control-group channel types
  • picking channels by name across all of those channel types
DiGiCo consoles don’t support true scene recall over this integration — snapshot actions can only create or rename a snapshot, not fire one. If your workflow depends on recalling a stored scene, plan around that limitation rather than around the “Scene and snapshot recall” feature listed above.

Troubleshooting

If the console does not respond, verify the model, IP, port, network path, and any MIDI-specific prerequisites for that console family.
