Run a Behringer WING by talking to it. Version 3 · October 25, 2026 · 75 voice functions.
The WING Agent is a voice engineer for the Behringer WING. Speak or type what you want — "bring the lead vocal up three", "warmer on the bass", "more vocal in the drummer's mix", "is anything clipping?" — and the console moves. Every change lands on the real desk, so it shows on the WING's own screen and in WING Edit at the same time.
It works on every channel (1–40), aux (1–8), bus (1–16), matrix (1–8), main (1–4), DCA (1–8), mute group and FX slot. Channels and buses can be called by number or by the name on their scribble strip.
WING Edit can run on the same Mac at the same time. Use it to see the board; use the agent to move it.
| Style | Example | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| A number | "Channel 5 to minus 3" | Goes exactly there. |
| A feeling | "Warmer on the vocal" | A real EQ move, sized to how you said it ("a touch", "a lot"). |
| A name | "Mute the bass" | Finds the channel by its scribble-strip name. |
| A question | "What's on channel 12?" | Reads the desk back to you. |
It answers in a sentence and describes what the channel sounds like now, not the command it sent.
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Fader | "Bus 2 to 75 percent" · "Channel 5 to minus 10" |
| Mute | "Mute channel 8" · "Open the keys" |
| Pan | "Pan channel 6 thirty left" |
| Name | "Name channel 5 Lead Vox" |
| Colour | "Make channel 5 blue" |
| Read a strip | "What's on channel 12?" |
| List names | "What are the bus names?" |
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Preamp gain | "Gain on channel 3 to 32" |
| Phantom power | "Phantom on channel 5" |
| Trim | "Trim channel 4 up 2" |
| Polarity | "Flip the phase on channel 2" |
| Low cut | "Low cut at 100 on the vocal" |
| High cut | "High cut at 9k on the guitar" |
Preamp gain and phantom follow the input the channel is patched to.
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| EQ band | "Plus 2 at 3k on band 3, Q 1.5" |
| EQ in / out | "EQ out on channel 9" |
| EQ model | "Load the Neve EQ on channel 1" — Neve (E84), standard WING, Soul, Focusrite ISA (F110), E88, PIA, Pulsar |
| Feel words | "Warmer", "brighter", "darker", "fatter", "thinner", "cleaner", "smoother", "more presence" — on any strip |
| Gate | "Gate the tom at minus 40, range 20" |
| Compressor | "Compress channel 14 three to one at minus 20, attack 10" |
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Bus send | "Send channel 5 to bus 3 at minus 6, pre" |
| Main send | "Put channel 9 on main 1" |
| DCA level / mute | "DCA 1 to 80" · "Mute DCA 2" |
| Mute group | "Mute group 1 on" |
Say the mix by the person's name on the bus — "more vocal in the drummer's mix", "take the keys out of Stage Mont 2", "bass in the bass player's ears at minus 10". With no number it moves 3 dB.
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Load an effect | "Plate reverb in FX 1" — hall, room, chamber, plate, concert, ambience, vintage room/plate, gated, reverse, shimmer, spring, delays, tape echo, chorus, phaser, rotary, doubler, pitch, de-esser, exciter, enhancer, limiter, graphic EQ and more |
| Effect controls | "Longer decay on FX 1" · "Predelay 30 on the plate" · "What's in FX 3?" |
| Insert | "Insert FX 2 on the vocal" · "Take the insert off" |
| Ducking | "Duck the music under the pastor" |
| Sidechain | "Key the bass compressor from the kick" |
"Is anything clipping?" — which inputs have signal, which are running hot (within 6 dB of the top), and anything clipping. "How are the levels?" reads live levels for channels, auxes, buses, mains or matrices.
Starter presets: kick, snare, bass, lead vocal, backing vocal, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keys, speech — "put the lead vocal preset on channel 5". The channel keeps its name.
Your own: "save this as my rock vocal" keeps the channel's whole processing. It asks what you'd call that sound — answer in your own words. Later: "give me my rock vocal on channel 12".
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Copy | "Make channel 6 the same as channel 5" |
| Swap | "Swap channels 3 and 9" |
| Move | "Move the bass to channel 12" |
| Patch | "Patch stage box A input 12 to channel 5" — local, aux, A/B/C, StageConnect, USB, Dante card, player, AES |
| Show on the desk | "Show channel 7 on the console" |
Copy, swap and move carry everything: input, filters, EQ, gate, compressor, inserts, sends and routing.
Sections in small, medium or large: drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, tracks, speech — "add a medium drum kit at channel 17".
Whole setups: rock band, church band, acoustic set, band with tracks, podcast — "lay out a church band".
A build names and colours the channels and puts them on main 1. It tells you what it's about to do and waits for your yes before changing the board.
"Save this whole setup as Sunday AM" keeps every channel, aux, bus and DCA. "Load Sunday AM" brings it back — after you say yes. "What scenes have I saved?" lists them.
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| USB recorder | "Start recording" · "Stop" · "Pause" · "New file" |
| USB player | "Play" · "Next song" · "Stop" |
| Talkback | "Talkback on" · "Talkback B off" |
| Solo | "Solo channel 5" · "Clear solo" |
| Phones / speakers | "Solo to the speakers" · "Phones to minus 20" |
Every notch is -9 dB and as narrow as the WING allows (Q 10), and it only goes in an EQ band that is flat — your own EQ moves are never touched. Each mix can take up to 6 notches.
| Function | Say |
|---|---|
| Feedback watch | "Watch for feedback" · "Stop watching" |
| What it caught | "What has the feedback watch caught?" |
| Ring-out | "Ring out the drummer's wedge" — push the mix up slowly while it listens |
| Panic | "Feedback!" — the loudest mix drops 6 dB at once, then it finds and notches the ring |
| Automixer | "Put the pastor and panel mics on the automixer" |
| Pre-show check | "Which mics are most likely to feed back?" |
| See / remove notches | "List the notches" · "Clear the notches on Stage Mont 1" · "Clear all the notches" |
How the watch works: it reads every mix's level 10 times a second. A mix that suddenly runs away gets the WING's 120-band analyser pointed at it straight away; the others are checked in turn. A ring is a frequency standing far above its neighbours and holding or growing — a note that dies away isn't touched. From start of a ring to the notch is about 1–2 seconds.
"How does the compressor knee work?", "What does the Soul EQ do?", "What are the gate models?" — it answers from Behringer's own WING documentation and explains it in plain words.
React out loud after a feel-word move: "perfect", "too much", "not enough", "undo". Every reaction teaches it what your words mean to you, so next time "warmer" is your warmer.
Undo. "Undo that" puts back the last change — or the last few: "undo the last three".
Safety copy. A full copy of the whole desk — every one of its 21,144 settings — was saved on October 25, 2026, on the Mac, the OWC drive and iCloud. "Put channel 5 back how it was" restores a channel from it exactly.
Ask first. Anything that changes the whole board — building a setup or recalling a scene — is explained first and waits for your yes.
Tested on the real WING: faders, mutes, pans, names, colours, trim, polarity, low and high cut, EQ bands and models, gate, compressor, bus and main sends, feel words, reading strips, live meters and clip check, starter presets, saving and recalling your own chains, copy, swap and move, sidechain, ducking, inserts, patching, monitor mixes, clearing solos, undo, and putting a channel back from the safety copy — each one read back off the desk to confirm.
