Custom Control App for iPhone

About the Custom Control application

Custom Control, developed by Allen & Heath, provides configurable touch and screen-based control panels for supported audio systems. It lets teams create role-specific interfaces and tailored visuals so each operator sees only the controls they need. Typical users include system integrators who prepare the layouts for deployment.

Editing and setup process

Configuration is performed using the Custom Control editor, which runs on Windows and macOS. Integrators design pages, assign controls and graphics, and organize zones or pages to match the venue or workflow. Once a configuration is ready, it gets distributed to client devices for immediate use.

Controls and layout capabilities

The app exposes a variety of control elements that can be added to pages to manage the audio system. Common items you can place include:

• Preset recall buttons for instant scene changes
• Send controls for routing and auxiliary mixes
• Mute switches for channels or groups
• Level faders for precise gain adjustments

Pages can be grouped into separate zones or multiple control screens so different users or locations have dedicated views.

How users connect and authenticate

Any device with the application installed can receive the appropriate interface after logging in to the system. That makes the solution suitable for both fixed kiosk deployments and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environments. Configurations are pushed to clients dynamically, and access can be limited with an optional password when needed.

Suggested alternative: eSound — MP3 Music Player Free

If you need a lightweight alternative for simple playback scenarios, consider eSound — MP3 Music Player Free. It supports basic music playback on a wide range of devices and may be preferable when full control-system features aren’t required.

Key advantages include:

• BYOD-friendly operation for users on personal devices
• Optional password locks for controlled access
• Support for custom artwork and basic visualizations
• Multiple interface layouts depending on platform and device
