Quick Start Guide

Set up the Groups – These can be configured as audio
subgroups or additional stereo mixes, for example when
working with many sets of in-ear monitors. Touch the right
arrow in the Processing screen Grp tab to choose Mix or
Group mode. If you are using subgroups to LR, remember to
turn off assignments of those channels to the LR mix.
Set up the Matrix sends - Use the Processing screen Matrix
Sends to work with send levels and routing.
Set up the FX – Select an FX send or return and use the
Processing screen to set up the 4 built-in FX units. The reset
default sets up two reverbs, a delay and an ADT effect. To
change these use the Library button to recall the FX type and
preset. Touch the right arrow to change patching. Effects such
as reverb and delay use Mix->Return patching. You can also
insert FX into a channel or mix.
Set up Mute and DCA Groups – Use the Processing screen
Mute Grp and DCA tabs to name and assign the groups. It can
be useful to assign a mute or DCA group to the FX returns
providing a quick way to silence or reduce effects between
songs.
Choose the Direct Output application - channel direct
outputs can be used for USB recording, ME-1 personal
monitoring, channel Ducker trigger or single channel FX. Set
source preferences in the Processing screen Preamp page of
any input channel. This setting is global and affects all direct
outputs.
Patch to optional ME-1 personal monitor systems - Go to the
I/O Patch Monitor screen to patch Qu outputs to the 40 ME-1
sends. It is typical to send the input channel direct outputs. The
recommended direct out setting is post delay, pre fader, post
mute.
Patch the USB outputs – Use the 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 B streaming uses all 32 outputs. Qu-Drive recording is fed
from the first 18 outputs, and Qu-Drive stereo recording is fed
from outputs 17-18.
Live show multitrack recording typically uses the channel Insert
Sends so that live mixing does not affect the recording. You
may wish to change this to Direct Outputs for studio recording
and other applications.
Assign the SoftKeys – The SoftKeys can be user-assigned for
various functions such as mute, tap tempo, scenes, Qu-Drive
transport and more. Assign these using the Processing screen
SoftKeys strips. Confirm using the Apply button.
Footswitch – You can assign control to a single or dual
footswitch. Use the Setup / Control / Footswitch screen to
choose the function and calibrate the operating mode of the
switch.
Assign the Custom Layers – Use the Setup screen Strips
page to drag and drop strips to the three available custom
strips.
