Qu-Pac Getting Started Guide 20 AP9815 iss2
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:
Start by using the Processing screen Preamp page Linking
button to link parameters of odd/even pairs of channels for
stereo operation. For example, stereo keyboards or backing
tracks. Adjusting Pan on one channel will set the width for the
pair.
There are several ways to quickly set up the input and mix
channel processing ready to start your sound check:
Copy / Paste / Reset – These keys provide a powerful tool for
quickly setting up your processing. They work in a similar way.
Press and hold the key down. While holding it, press or touch
another item to perform the action:
+ Front panel Sel key = all related processing (not preamp)
+ Channel Select box = all related processing (not preamp)
+ Processing ‘In’ button = just that block, eg PEQ
+ Processing top of screen = just that block
+ Channel Mix Select Mix button = its mix levels, pan, assign
These actions do not affect channel linking or ducker settings.
Reset - Sets related parameters to factory default. For
example PEQ flat, Gate out, Mix levels off, pans mid,
assignments on.
Copy / Paste – Hold Copy and press/touch the item to copy it.
Then hold Paste and press/touch the channel Sel key, Select
box, or Mix button to paste it to. You can quickly paste settings
to multiple channels or mixes. For example, to copy CH2 PEQ
only to CH3, 4 and 5:
Copy+CH2 PEQ top of screen, then
Paste+CH3, then CH4, then CH5 Sel keys
