Allen & Heath SQ-5, SQ-6, and SQ-7 consoles just joined the list of gear Showcaller can run by voice, through a native SQ MIDI integration.
If you’ve spent any time at FOH or in a monitor world built around an SQ, you know the rhythm: recall a scene between songs, mute a channel that’s about to feed back, all while your hands are already full and your eyes are on the stage, not the desk. That’s exactly the kind of moment voice control is built for: not because the desk’s surface is hard to use, but because every second spent looking down at it is a second not spent watching the show.

Because this runs over the SQ’s native MIDI protocol rather than a workaround, it talks to the console the way the console actually expects to be talked to. And like everything else Showcaller touches, every command goes through Tally’s verification: it doesn’t just send the instruction and move on, it confirms the desk actually changed state before calling the job done. If a scene recall doesn’t load, you hear about it immediately, not the next time someone notices the wrong reverb is still up.
This is one more integration in a list that’s grown faster than most people expect from a young company: vMix, Blackmagic ATEM, Behringer X32/Midas M32, Behringer XAir/Midas MR, MA Lighting grandMA2/grandMA3, Shure Wireless, Sennheiser EW-DX, Panasonic PTZ, NDI, Bitfocus Companion, Netgear AV, and QLab are already in, with Yamaha joining most recently, and more shipping regularly.
