Save the settings 

Scene memories

 – Once you have set up the mixer ready for 

the session, go to the 

Scenes

 screen to name and store the 

current mix settings as a scene. You can store up to 100 scenes 

within the Qu mixer.  

For example you could name and store scenes for each band 

after you sound check them, as theatre show cues, recording 

sessions, templates for future shows and so on. 

Scene  Safes

  –  This  function  protects  all  parameters  of  a 

selected channel or mix from being overwritten when a scene is 

recalled. For example, walk-in music, DJ or presenter. The reset 

default is no safes set. 

Global  Scene  Filter

  –  This  function  protects  selected 

parameters of all channels or mix from being overwritten when 
any  scene  is  recalled.  For  example,  the  SoftKey  or  Custom 

Layer assignments that you may make after sound check, or the 

LR mix processing including GEQ which you may change as 

the audience fills the room. The reset default is Custom Layer 

and SoftKeys blocked. 

Per Scene Filter

 – This is similar to the global filter but protects 

selected parameters for just one scene recall. Each scene has 

its  own  filter.  This  can  be  a  powerful  tool,  for  example  when 

recalling  cues  in  a  theatre  show,  or  effects  changes  during 

songs. The reset default is Custom Layer and SoftKeys blocked. 

Show  memories

  –  A  Show  stores  everything  including  the 

current mix settings, all 100 scenes, libraries and setup.  Shows 

are not stored within the mixer. They are created directly to a 

USB drive in the Qu-Drive socket. 

Archiving and transferring data via USB

 – You can use a USB 

device such as key or drive to archive Qu settings or transfer 

them between Qu mixers. The memories are compatible with all 

Qu models. Start by formatting the USB device on the Qu mixer. 

Use the 

Setup / Utility / Qu-Drive

 

screen Format function. 

  Formatting  will  erase  any  existing  data  and  create  a  Qu 

directory on the device. You only need to format the USB device 

once on the Qu mixer. Do not attempt to edit the Qu data or file 

names using a computer. Keep the USB device for use with the 

Qu mixer only. 

 

7.4

 

User permissions 

You  can  protect  the  system  from  unauthorised  access,  and 

restrict how much control is given to certain operators. User the 

Home / User

 

page. There are three User Profiles available:

 

Admin

 – Has access to everything. Can configure the mixer, set 

permissions and passwords, and set up the Qu-Control screen. 

Standard

 – Can control the live mix but is locked out of system 

setup functions. 

Basic

 – Can control faders and mutes only. 

Passwords can be set for each of these three users. These are 

required at login and change of user.  The Qu-Pad app requires 

the Admin password if set. Admin can set a separate password 

for Qu-You users. A scene range and login scene can be set for 

the Standard and Basic users.
