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 could name and store a scene as a 

template starting point

 

for future shows, for each band after you sound check them, 

theatre show cues, recording sessions and so on. 

You can store up to 100 scenes within the Qu mixer. You can 

copy  and  clear  existing  scenes.  To  copy  a  scene  hold  down 

the 

Copy  key 

and  touch  a  scene  in  the  list.  Then  hold  down 

the 

Paste  key

  and  touch  the  scene  position  to  copy  to.  This 

copies all scene parameters, its name and filter. 

Reset Mix Settings – This lets you zero the desk ready to start 

a  new  mixing  session.  It  resets  all  mixing  parameters  and 
clears  existing  Safes  and  Global  Filter  settings.  It  does  not 

affect scenes, libraries and user preferences. 

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. This 

means  that  any  changes  you  make  on  those  channels  after 

the  sound  check  has  been  stored  will  not  be  lost  when  you 

recall  that  scene  later.  Use  the 

Scenes  /  Safes

  screen.  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. Use the 

Scenes / Global Filter

 

screen.  This  presents  a  grid  of  buttons  to  block  different 

groups  of  parameters  for  different  channel  types.  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.  You  can  copy  and  clear  individual 

scene filters. 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. 

 Do not edit file names or locations on the USB key. 

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. 

Go to the 

Setup / USB Data

 screen to transfer Scenes, User 

Libraries and Shows files. 

Groups of parameters 

 

A dot shows one or more assigned
