8.5  Control Setup - SoftKeys 
Qu-16 provides 4 SoftKeys. The Qu-24 provides 10 
SoftKeys. These are called ‘Soft’ because they can be 
assigned to different functions by the user. 
Function – Touch the box to open and choose from 
the list of available functions. Touch Apply to confirm 
the changes. 
Note SoftKey settings are stored in scenes. If you do 
not want these settings overwritten when scenes are 
recalled then block the ‘SoftKeys’ item in the Global 
Filter. Use the Scenes / Global Filter screen. 
Unassigned – The SoftKey 
does nothing. 
Mute Group – Becomes the 
Mute master for the same 
number Mute Group. This is 
the factory default setting for 
SoftKeys 1-4. 
Tap Tempo – Use the SoftKey 
to tap in the time setting for 
Delay FX. Choose L, R or L+R 
(both to follow the same tap). 
Recall Scene – Instantly 
recalls the scene number 
assigned to the SoftKey. 
Scene Store Current – Instantly stores the current 
mixer settings to the last recalled scene. This is shown 
in the ‘Curr:’ bar. 
Scene Recall Go – Instantly recalls the Scene shown 
in the ‘Next:’ bar. Set Auto Increment if you want to 
step through your scenes using a single key. This 
recalls a scene, then advances to the next available 
scene ready to recall it when the key is pressed again. 
For example, step through your cues in a theatre 
show. Auto-increment skips blank scenes. 
Scene Next – Advances to but does not recall the next 
scene in the list. 
Scene Previous – Steps back to but does not recall 
the previous scene in the list. 
PAFL Clear – Set a SoftKey to clear any active PAFL 
keys. The SoftKey lights to show when a PAFL is 
currently selected. 
To select the Custom Layer 
press both Layer keys together.
