8.8 Control Setup - MIDI
The Qu-16 can send and receive MIDI messages for remote control of many of its functions. It uses two
MIDI channels, one for Qu mixing functions, the other for DAW control using the Custom Layer.
MIDI over USB – The rear panel USB B port allows
direct connection to Apple
®
Mac computers running
OSX 10.6 or later. This carries MIDI and audio
streaming. USB B is the recommended connection for
DAW and other computer based MIDI control.
Note – Qu currently supports only Apple
®
Mac
computers. USB MIDI is supported natively by the Mac
so no driver is needed. A driver for Windows
®
computers is not available.
MIDI over TCP Network – The rear panel Network
port is used for connection to a WiFi router to work
with an iPad running the Qu-Pad app. The app uses
these MIDI messages to remotely control the Qu-16
mixer. Alternatively, the Network port can be used with
a touch panel or other remote controller that allows
configurable MIDI over a TCP/IP port.
Note – Qu-16 currently allows only one TCP
connection at a time over its Network port.
MIDI channel number – The Qu-16 uses two MIDI
channels, one for mixing functions, the other for DAW
control. Choose and Apply the mixing function MIDI
channel. DAW control will use the next MIDI channel
above that.
8.9 USB Data – Scene Transfer
Individual Scenes can be transferred between Qu
mixers via a USB device (key or drive) plugged into the
Qu-Drive port. This provides a quick way to transfer
settings without overwriting the current scenes and
preferences.
Make sure the USB device has been previously
formatted using the Qu mixer Utility / Qu-Drive
screen.
The list on the left displays a list of scenes stored in
the Qu mixer. The list on the right displays those found
on the USB device. Scenes are transferred as data
files numbered from ‘0’. Both the number and name
will appear in the USB list.
8.10 USB Data – Library transfer
Individual processing Libraries can be transferred
between Qu mixers via a USB device (key or drive)
plugged into the Qu-Drive port. Make sure the USB
device has been previously formatted using the Qu
mixer Utility / Qu-Drive screen.
The list on the left displays a list of libraries stored in
the Qu mixer. The list on the right displays those found
on the USB device. Libraries are transferred as data
files numbered from ‘0’. Both the number and name
will appear in the USB list.
