Patch the USB outputs
– Use the
Setup / I/O Patch / USB
Audio
screen to patch any of the Qu outputs to the
Qu-Drive
multitrack and rear panel
USB B
streaming port. These share
the same patch. USB streaming uses all 32 outputs. The Qu-
Drive multitrack recording is fed from the first 18 outputs. Qu-
Drive stereo recording is fed from outputs 17-18.
Typical live multitrack recording is to use the Insert Sends so
that live mixing does not affect the recording. You may wish to
change this to Direct Outputs for studio recording.
Assign the SoftKeys
– 15 Qu-Pac front panel keys can be
user assigned for various functions such as mute, tap tempo,
scenes, Qu-Drive transport and more.
Assign these using the
Setup / Control / SoftKeys
screen.
Use the rotary to scroll through the list of options.
Assign the Custom Layer
– 16 Qu-Pac front panel custom
Sel keys can be user assigned for any combination of
channel, FX, mix, DCA and MIDI select, for example to allow
quick select of just the channels you are using for your show.
Assign these using the
Setup / Control / Custom Layer
screen. Use the
Fn
key as a ‘+1’ increment to let you quickly
step through a range of assignments. The reset default is CH1-
16.
Assign the Qu-Pad app Custom Layers
– If you are using the
iPad app for wireless mixing you can assign up to 3 custom
layers to present the fader strips and SoftKeys you are using in
the order you prefer. Select the
Setup
icon in the top toolbar.
Setting a starting point for the processing:
