Scene contents
A Scene is a ‘snapshot’ of the Qu mixer settings. It
stores the current layout and patch, and parameters
associated with live mixing. It does not store user
configuration, setup preferences and functions not
typically needed for live show recall.
Use the USB Show file function if you wish to archive
the full Qu configuration and Scene/Library memories.
To Copy a Scene – Press and hold the Copy key
below the screen and then touch the scene to copy.
Now press and hold the Paste key and touch the
scene in the list to paste to. This copies the scene
contents and name.
The Safes screen
A Recall Safe protects all parameters for one channel.
Scene recall affects all input channels, FX and mixes.
You can make one or more of these ‘Scene Safe’ so
that none of their parameters are overwritten by any of
the 100 scenes. For example, walk-in music and
continuity microphone channels.
A blue dot o appears in the tab if one or more
channels have been made safe.
