Your show. A different console.
Skip the rebuild. Convert the show file.
Console Flip takes a show built on Allen & Heath dLive, Avantis, or SQ and rebuilds it for another supported console. Names, colours, levels, mutes, pans, HPF, EQ, compressors, and sends come with it where supported—so you start with your show, not a blank file.
Supported today
Allen & Heath dLive, Avantis & SQ
Avantis → dLive or SQ, plus two-way conversion between dLive and SQ.
Avantis is currently source-only. dLive and SQ can be either source or target.
Every conversion includes a channel-by-channel preview before you export.
How it works
From source show to solid starting point
Console Flip handles the tedious translation. You keep control of the final result.
Step 01
Upload the source show
Drop in a dLive or Avantis .tar.gz, or choose an SQ SHOW#### folder directly. Console Flip tailors the upload to the source console.
Step 02
Check the handover
Review the source and target consoles, then sanity-check the channel data before anything is exported.
Step 03
Open, check, carry on
Download the target show, open it in the official offline editor, make the last console-specific decisions, and re-save before loading it.
Transfer map
No mystery about what moves
This is the current transfer coverage. A tick is supported, the hourglass is in progress, and “planned” means it does not transfer yet.

FAQ
The sensible questions
What moves, what does not, and what you should check before the file reaches a console.
Which conversions are available right now?
Avantis to dLive or SQ, plus dLive to SQ and SQ to dLive. Avantis is currently source-only.
How much does it cost?
It is $15 per conversion. There is no subscription, monthly plan, or bundle of credits to buy.
Didn’t this used to be free?
Yes. It was free while I worked out the rough edges. Charging per conversion keeps the project sustainable without saddling anyone with another subscription.
What if it doesn’t work for my show?
Tell me what happened. If the conversion does not work for your show, I will refund it.
ContactWill it convert everything perfectly?
No. Console models do not map one-to-one. Console Flip moves the supported core mix data and gives you a strong starting point; you still make the final checks and console-specific decisions.
What should I do with my converted show?
Open it in the target console’s official offline editor, check the result, and re-save it before loading it on hardware.
How do I upload an Allen & Heath SQ file?
Select SQ, then choose the complete SHOW#### folder copied from the console or your SQ MixPad working directory. Console Flip shows the name stored inside it before you upload.
How do I load my downloaded zip into the SQ MixPad Editor?
Unzip the download to get a folder named "SHOW0000". Renumber it first if that slot is already in use.
How much of the show transfers?
The transfer map above is the source of truth. If a parameter is not marked as supported, assume it will need attention in the target editor.
When will you support more consoles?
When the parser, renderer, and real show-file tests are ready. You can join the update list to hear when new support ships.
Can I request another console or parameter?
Absolutely. Use the contact form and tell me which console or parameter would save you the most time.
