Strip Assign

All fader strips on the SQ are freely assignable.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, touch the ‘Surface’ tab then touch the ‘Strip Assign’ tab.

• SQ channels are displayed in the top half of the screen. Select channel types by touching buttons at the right, and touch and drag left or right to view all available channels.

• Fader strips are displayed in the bottom half of the screen. Select layers by touching the buttons to the right or switching layers on the surface, then touch and drag left or right to view all available fader strip slots.

• To assign channels to fader strips, touch and drag them from the top row to a fader strip in the bottom row.

• To remove assignments, touch and drag them out of the fader strip at the bottom towards the top of the screen.

ⓘ FX return channels can be assigned to fader strips but will not be visible unless they are routed from the output of the FX engine (i.e. set as ‘Mix -> Return’ on the back panel).

ⓘ The ‘Listen’ bus is not a channel type, but the Master fader or a Soft Rotary can be used to control Listen Level. See the Mixer Role section for more information.

Input Mono/Stereo Configuration

To use input channels as stereo channels throughout the mixer, they must first be switched into stereo mode.

In the ‘Setup’ screen, touch the ‘Mixer Config’ tab, then touch ‘Input Stereo’

• Odd/even pairs of input channels can be switched between mono and stereo mode by touching the ‘Mono/Stereo’ button.

• Touch the ‘Apply’ button to apply any changes.

• Touch the ‘Cancel’ button to undo changes and display the current state.

ⓘ By default, changes to Input and Mix mono/stereo state on scene recall are blocked by Global Filters.

Mix Mono/Stereo Configuration

Mixes can be used as mono or stereo channels throughout the mixer. When set to stereo, signals sent from mono input channels can be panned and stereo signals are passed through in stereo with balance control. When set to mono, stereo signals are summed.

In the ‘Setup’ screen, touch the ‘Mixer Config’ tab, then touch ‘Mix Stereo’.

• Any mix can be switched between mono and stereo mode by touching the ‘Mono/Stereo’ button.

• Touch the ‘Apply’ button to apply any changes.

• Touch the ‘Cancel’ button to undo changes and display the current state.

ⓘ By default, changes to Input and Mix mono/stereo state on scene recall are blocked by Global Filters.

Extra Matrices –

Switching each of stereo Matrix 1, 2 or 3 to mono will enable an extra mono matrix, to provide up to 6 mono matrices in total.

Switching any of them back to stereo will always remove the highest numbered mono matrix first.

Processing, Routing and other settings for mono Matrix channels 4-6 is always stored when storing a scene, even if the matrix itself is unavailable due to being in use by a stereo matrix. In this way, if the matrix is made available again, no settings will have been lost.

Mix Aux/Group Bus Configuration

The 12 mixes can be switched between group and auxiliary modes under the ‘Bus Config’ tab.

• Touch either the ‘Number or Groups’ value or the ‘Number of Auxes’ value, then adjust using the touchscreen rotary.

• Increasing the number of groups will decrease the number of auxiliaries and vice versa.

• Touch the ‘Apply’ button to apply any changes.

Auxiliaries will always be assigned sequentially to the first mix keys, with groups assigned afterwards. For example, if you configure the buses as 5 groups and 7 auxes, auxes 1 to 7 will be on mix keys 1 to 7 and groups 1 to 5 will be on mix keys 8 to 12.

ⓘ Mix keys assigned to auxes illuminate blue when active, and mix keys assigned to groups illuminate magenta.

SoftKeys/SoftRotaries

SoftKeys and SoftRotaries allow you to customise surface controls of the SQ.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Surface’ tab followed by the ‘Soft Controls’ tab to view and adjust SoftKey and SoftRotary assignments.

To change the function of a SoftKey or SoftRotary:

1) Touch either ‘Soft Keys’ or ‘Soft Rotaries’ (SQ-6, SQ-7, SQ-Rack).

2) Touch a numbered SoftKey or SoftRotary button, these match the labelling on the surface of the SQ and turn white when selected.

3) Touch the control type value and select a type.

4) Touch the control option 1 value (where available) and select an option.

5) Touch the control option 2 value (where available) and select an option.

6) For Soft Rotaries on SQ-6, SQ-7 and SQ-Rack there is a third control option to select the function of the associated key.

7) Touch the ‘Apply’ or ‘Cancel’ button, to apply or disregard any changes.

SoftKeys illuminate with different colours depending on function. When assigned to a Tap Tempo, they flash to display the current tempo.

Each SoftRotary has an LCD display, an assignable key and is illuminated when active, with the colour of the rotary and key relating to the assigned function.

• The SoftRotary LCD display momentarily displays parameter value when adjusted.

• Press the ‘View’ key multiple times to display Soft Rotary function and value.

Footswitch

Connect a single or dual, momentary or latching footswitch with a TS or TRS ¼” jack plug to the ‘Footswitch’ socket to allow hands-free control of the SQ.

In the ‘Setup’ screen, touch the ‘Surface’ tab then the ‘Footswitch’ tab to display and adjust the footswitch settings and assignments.

When first connecting a footswitch, touch the ‘Calibrate’ button to set the type of switch being used. Follow the on-screen instructions.

• Single footswitches usually use only the ‘Tip’ connection.

• You may need to experiment to find which switch is connected to tip or ring with a dual footswitch.

Options for the type of switch are as follows and must match the footswitch hardware:

Unused = Select for a switch you do not wish to use.

Latching = Press and release to switch on, press again to switch off.

Momentary = Press and hold to switch on, release to switch off.

Soft Latch = Enables a momentary switch to be used as a latching switch.

To assign a function to a footswitch:

1) Touch either ‘Tip’ or ‘Ring’ buttons to select a switch.

2) Touch the control type value and select a type.

3) Touch the control option 1 value (where available) and select an option.

4) Touch the control option 2 value (where available) and select an option.

5) Touch the ‘Apply’ or ‘Cancel’ button, to apply or disregard any changes.

ⓘ Available footswitch assignments closely match those for SoftKeys.

Surface Preferences

Press the ‘Setup’ key, then touch the ‘Surface’ tab followed by the ‘Surface Prefs’ tab to see the surface preferences.

ⓘ This screen can also be accessed by pressing the ‘Brightness’ button on the ‘Home’ page.

• Touch the ‘Confirm Scene Operations’ button to enable or disable confirmation pop-ups when performing scene overwriting/recalling/deleting operations.

• Touch the ‘Preamp On Surface’ button to choose whether the dedicated surface preamp rotary can adjust preamp gain (when ‘Off’ the rotary controls Trim instead).

• Touch the ‘Safe I/O Patching’ button to enable or disable safe patching in the I/O screen. When ‘Off’ the ‘Patch’ button will not be displayed at all.

• Touch the ‘Processing Screens Follow Surface’ button to enable or disable the option for processing screens to change to the last adjusted parameter.

• Touch the ‘PEQ Band Follow Screen’ button to choose whether the band selection on the surface follows the on-screen PEQ band selection.

• Touch the ‘FX Screen Follow Sel’ button to enable or disable FX unit selection in the FX screen following which channels are selected.

ⓘ The ‘Preamp on surface’ setting is useful when there is a digital split between two consoles and gain adjustments would affect both. Instead, it allows quick adjustment of trim, which is local to the console.

ⓘ ‘FX Screen Follow Sel’ means the FX unit selected in the FX screen will follow selection of FX send and return, as well as any channel where an FX unit has been inserted.

Channel Delay Controls –

‘Delay Units’ changes the units displayed on all input and mix processing channel delays.

Delay Units = Millisecond (ms), Meters (m), Feet (ft), Samples (S)

As the speed of sound through air depends on the temperature of the air, selecting a measure of distance will allow the ‘Temperature’ value to be changed. This should be set to match the ambient temperature of the air.

Temperature = -20°C to +40°C, -4°F to +104°F

ⓘ If Meters is selected, temperature is shown in Celsius. If Feet is selected, temperature is shown in Fahrenheit.

ⓘ Note that these values extend outside the operating temperature range of the SQ.

Brightness –

These settings individually control the brightness of illumination across the SQ.

• Touch a parameter dial and adjust using the touchscreen rotary.

Touchscreen = The touchscreen backlight

LED’s = All surface LED’s including keys, channel and PAFL metering

Channel Strip LCDs = Channel naming strip LCD backlights

Light Bar Brightness = Brightness of the integrated illumination

Light Bar Balance = Colour of the integrated illumination

PAFL

The Pre/After Fade Listen settings affect the behaviour of the PAFL bus which is routed to the SQ headphone output and displayed on the 12 segment LED meter as well as being routed to the SQ’s RTA.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab, followed by the ‘PAFL’ tab to display and adjust settings.

• Touch any button on the left of the screen to turn an option on or off.

Additive (On) = Allows multiple channel strips to be routed to the PAFL bus at once.

Sel Follow PAFL (On) = Pressing a PAFL key will also select (‘Sel’) a channel.

PAFL Follow Mix (On) = When PAFL is active on the master/mix channel strip, the channel being routed to AFL will follow mix selection.

Input Override Mix (On) = When PAFL is in additive mode, pressing the PAFL key of an input channel unassigns mix channels from the PAFL bus. Unassigning all input channels reassigns the previously assigned mixes.

LR to PAFL (On) = When no other PAFL routing is active, the main LR mix is routed to the PAFL bus.

Output AFL (Off) = Output channels routed to the PAFL bus are pre-fade. (Pre-Fade Listen)

Output AFL (On) = Output channels routed to the PAFL bus are post-fade. (Post/After Fade Listen)

Input AFL (Off) = Input channels routed to the PAFL bus are pre-fade. (Pre-Fade Listen)

Input AFL (On) = Input channels routed to the PAFL bus are post-fade. (Post/After Fade Listen)

Ext in Source Select and Ext in Preamp/Trim –

Use these settings to select an external in socket to feed directly to the PAFL bus. Preamp control will become available when a local or remote preamp has been assigned.

Use the ‘Ext in to PAFL’ button to switch the external in signal on or off.

ⓘ This feature is intended for communication between two systems, so it is active even when the PAFL bus is being used to monitor channels.

Input to PAFL Source Point –

Select where in the channel the PAFL signal is sourced from.

Post Preamp = Signal is affected by preamp only

Post PEQ = Also includes DEEP Preamp, HPF, Gate, Insert and PEQ

Post Compressor = Also includes Compressor

Post Delay/AMM = Also includes Channel Delay and AMM

ⓘ Note that ‘Post Preamp’ setting does not include DEEP Preamp processing.

ⓘ This setting determines the behaviour of the 12 segment LED meter when an input is being monitored. It may be different to Chromatic Channel Metering depending on the Input Meter Source setting.

PFL Trim –

The PFL trim attenuates the level of PFL signal routed to the PAFL bus. It does not affect AFL.

PFL Trim = -24dB to 0dB

Delay –

The PAFL delay can be used to align the PAFL bus when, in a live sound environment, the naturally delayed sound from a sound system can be heard at the same time as the otherwise instant signal fed to headphones or monitors, causing phase issues or an audible delay.

PAFL bus delay = 0ms to 682.6ms

Listen Level –

The Listen bus is fed by the PAFL signal and can be patched to an output socket. The Listen Level affects the output level of this bus.

Listen Level = -Inf to +10dB

ⓘ The Listen Level can also be controlled by the master fader. See the Mixer Role section of this guide for more information.

Talkback Settings

Talkback is used to enable the engineer to communicate via the audio outputs.

When the ‘Talk’ key is pressed, the talkback source is routed to all assigned mixes.

ⓘ The talkback output can also be routed from the I/O screen from the ‘Monitor Out’ tab. This output respects the ‘Talk’ switch and is useful for a dedicated talkback speaker or use with a ME system.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘Talkback’ tab to view and adjust the talkback settings.

• Source, preamp and trim settings are the same as those used in the Processing/Preamp screen and can be adjusted in exactly the same way.

• Similarly, HPF works in the same way as for any input channel in the Processing/HPF screen.

• Touch the momentary latch ‘On’ button to enable the ‘Talk’ key latching mode. When this mode is on, a quick single press of the ‘Talk’ key switches talkback on or off, though the key will continue to work as in momentary mode if held.

• Touch any mix assign button to switch the talkback feed on or off for that mix.

ⓘ Note that the local ‘Talk’ socket can be used as an extra input socket. When ‘Talk’ is assigned to an input channel, changing preamp settings in the Processing screen for that channel will also change settings in the Talkback setup and vice versa. The same logic applies when a source other than the local ‘Talk’ socket is assigned as the Talkback source. The HPF and Trim however, are independent.

Signal Generator

The signal generator can be used to send a signal to a mix for level configuration or used in conjunction with an RTA and a measurement microphone to check the frequency response of a system.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘SigGen’ tab to view and adjust the signal generator settings.

• Touch the ‘Signal Type’ value to select a type of signal.

Signal Type = Sine, White noise, Pink noise, Band-pass noise

• Touch the ‘Mute’ button to mute or unmute the signal.

• Touch the ‘Frequency’ value (where available) and use the touchscreen rotary to adjust.

Frequency = 20Hz to 20kHz

• Touch the ‘Level’ value and use the touchscreen rotary to adjust.

Level = -72dB to +18dB

• Touch any mix assign button to assign or unassign the signal generator to or from a mix.

ⓘ The signal generator can also be used by any input channel. Select ‘Signal Generator’ in ‘Source Select’ on the Processing/Preamp screen.

Audio Clock Sync and AES/USB/SQ-Drive Sample Rate

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘Digital I/O’ tab to see audio clock source, AES and USB/SQ-Drive sample rate options.

Audio Clock Source –

• Touch the ‘Audio Clock Source’ value to select a source.

Internal = Sync to the internal audio clock.

SLink = Sync to a digital clock signal being received by the SLink port.

I/O Port = Sync to a digital clock signal being received on the port of a connected option card.

• Touch the ‘Apply’ button to apply changes.

When successfully synchronised, a green tick will be shown to the right of the source selection. When there is no suitable clock being received, a red cross is shown to the right of the source selection and in the SQ title bar and the SQ will ‘fall back’ to using the internal audio clock.

• When using the SQ as a standalone system with or without expansion units, ‘Internal’ should be selected as the clock source.

• When connecting to another system or 3^rd party audio network (such as Dante or Waves), a single clock source on the network should be determined and all other units should synchronise to it, either directly or through connected devices.

ⓘ The SQ will always run at 96kHz internally, even if the clock source it is synchronised to is running at 48kHz.

ⓘ Issues with clocking can result in audible clicks and pops in the audio.

ⓘ When connecting directly to a Qu, the port the Qu is connected to must be used as the clock source.

Local AES out Sample Rate –

The sample rate of the digital AES output can be changed if required.

• Touch the current sample rate value, then select an option.

AES Output Sample Rate = 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz

• Touch the ‘Apply’ button to apply any changes.

USB Sample Rate –

The sample rate setting applies to both USB-B and SQ-Drive and can be switched between 96kHz (no sample rate conversion) and 48kHz (sample rate conversion enabled).

Conversion takes place between the core and USB-B or SQ-Drive connection so the SQ will continue to run all processing at 96kHz whichever mode is selected.

ⓘ Selecting 48kHz mode will allow recording and playback of up to 32 channels to and from SQ-Drive. For more information, see the SQ-Drive Multitrack Recording and Playback section of this guide.

I/O Port (Option Cards)

There are multiple option cards available for the SQ’s I/O Port. These enable the SQ to interface with 3^rd party audio protocols or can provide an additional SLink port.

ⓘ Before fitting, check SQ firmware release notes to ensure the option card is supported by the version of firmware currently running on the SQ.

To see and adjust I/O Port settings, press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘I/O Port’ tab.

This screen shows information and settings for the option card which is currently connected. It also contains the ‘Control Network Bridge’ switch.

When the Control Network Bridge is on, the option card is internally connected (bridged) to the SQ’s Network port. The Control Network Bridge is for control messaging only, as unlike the SLink port or the ports on Dante and Waves option cards, the SQ’s Network port cannot be used for audio connections.

ⓘ Note that having the Control Network Bridge ‘On’ can cause issues with certain setups. Details of these potential issues are shown in the bottom half of the screen and should be considered before the network is bridged.

SLink option card –

The SLink Option card provides an additional SLink port to any SQ console.
It has exactly the same functionality as the built-in port, but operates independently, allowing for two different protocols to be run on the same system.

ⓘ The ‘Control Network Bridge’ switch does not affect the SLink option card as the SLink port is for direct connection to other consoles or expanders using Layer 2 protocols.

Dante option card –

The Dante option card provides a 64x64 channel connection to a Dante network running at either 96kHz or 48kHz.

When patching to/from the I/O Port with a Dante card fitted, you are patching between the SQ core and Dante module. You must then use Dante controller to carry out further patching between the option card module and other devices on the network.

The ‘Control Network Bridge’ can allow a computer connected to the Dante network to also control the SQ using SQ-MixPad or MIDI over TCP/IP, or a computer connected to the SQ’s Network port to run Dante Controller and adjust patching or device settings.

ⓘ No audio is passed through the SQ’s Network port.

Visit the Audinate website (www.audinate.com) to learn more about Dante, and to download software including Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS).

Waves option card –

The Waves option card provides a 64x64 channel connection to a Waves SoundGrid network running at either 96kHz or 48kHz.

When patching to/from the I/O Port with a Waves card fitted, you are patching between the SQ core and Waves module. You must then use Waves software (SoundGrid Studio) to carry out further patching between the option card module and the computer or other devices on the network.

The ‘Control Network Bridge’ allows a computer connected to the SoundGrid network to also ‘see’ and control the SQ using SQ-MixPad or MIDI over TCP/IP.

Note that with the Control Network Bridge On, it may be possible to attempt to pass SoundGrid audio through the SQ’s Network port, but the system should not be used in this way and any connection which will carry audio should be connected directly to option card ports.

Visit the Waves support website (www.waves.com/support) for more information on Waves SoundGrid and to download the applications and drivers required for use of the Waves option card with your system.

MADI option card –

The MADI option card provides a 64x64 channel connection to other MADI equipment via 2 input and 2 output links. It can run at either 96kHz or 48kHz, with or without redundancy.

When running at 96kHz, up to 32 channels can be used on each input or output link and at 48kHz up to 64 channels can be used on each input output link as follows:

The Word Clock BNC on the option card can be set as an input or output and the Sync Source can be Word Clock or either of the input Links.

ⓘ To clock the SQ to the MADI Sync Source the SQ Audio Clock Source must also be set to ‘I/O Port’.

Information on the MADI stream for each Link is displayed to the right of the main settings, including error indication. If an error is detected on the stream, incoming audio will be muted, so an option to ignore these errors is provided for greater compatibility with third party equipment.

ⓘ Only ignore stream errors when absolutely required and check for integrity of the audio at low level, as an error in the stream could cause full scale digital noise on the outputs.

ⓘ The SQ MADI option card requires firmware V1.5.2 or later.

Mixer Role and Master Fader Mode

For quick setup from a known starting point you can select the ‘role’ of the SQ.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Mixer Config’ tab followed by the ‘Role’ tab to view options for resetting mix settings and to change the master fader mode.

Reset Mix Settings –

Selecting a role for the SQ and touching the ‘Reset’ button will reset the mix. Scenes and libraries are unaffected, though global filters and safes (used when recalling scenes) are ignored, and all safes are cleared.

ⓘ For details on default settings for different roles, see the Mix/System Reset section.

Master Fader Mode –

The master fader can either be used to control the master send level of the selected mix or the level of the listen bus. Touch either mode button to instantly switch mode.

ⓘ The listen level can be viewed and adjusted at any time in the PAFL screen. Listen level can also be assigned to a Soft Rotary control on the SQ-6, SQ-7 and SQ-Rack.

In ‘Mix Master’ mode, the blue LR mix key on the surface is illuminated blue when the LR mix is selected.

In ‘Listen Level’ mode, the blue LR mix key on the surface is illuminated red at all times. On the SQ-Rack, the fader at the end of each layer when viewing the faders screen is coloured red and controls listen level.

DCA Spill

The DCA Spill function allows all members of a DCA to be temporarily displayed across channel strips and layers, in place of the current channel strip layout.

Members are always spilled in listed order with the DCA itself on the last channel strip. Working with channels in a spill state is then the same as when working with the standard channel strip layout.

There are two ways to ‘spill’ a DCA, either directly or using the ‘Spill On Sel’ function.

Spill a single DCA –

Assign a SoftKey to spill a specific DCA, or set a Soft Rotary Key to ‘Spill’ when the Soft Rotary is assigned to ‘DCA Level Fader’.

Press the Key to instantly spill the DCA. The SoftKey will flash and the spilled DCA will be shown next to the currently selected mix on screen.
To exit spill, either press the key again, or press the (flashing) ‘Sel’ key on the DCA channel strip.

Spill on select –

Assign a SoftKey to ‘Spill On Sel’. When pressed, it will illuminate to show spill on select is active and a second press will deactivate the function.
When active, pressing the ‘Sel’ key of any DCA channel strip will spill that DCA.
To exit spill, press the (flashing) ‘Sel‘ key on the displayed DCA channel strip.

ⓘ Deactivating spill on select will automatically exit any current spill.

Input Ganging

Ganging enables attributes to be linked across multiple input channels. This means changes to linked attributes on one member of the gang affect all other members of that gang at the same time.

The SQ features 8 gangs with up to 12 members in each.

To setup ganging, press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Ganging’ tab.

• Select a gang using the numbers at the top of the screen.

• Drag and drop input channels from the channel list to the gang. Touch and drag left and right to see all available channels.

• Touch attribute buttons to switch linked attributes for the selected gang on or off. Linked attributes are indicated with white buttons.

• Touch the apply button to create the gang.

Attributes that can be linked by a gang are as follows:

Trim = Post preamp trim

Filter = HPF in/out and frequency

Gate = All gate parameters

PEQ = All PEQ parameters

Compressor = All compressor parameters

Delay = Channel ms delay

Fader = Input fader master position (i.e. to Main LR)

Mute = Channel mute state

Pan = Channel Pan/Balance to mix

Routing = Assignments and send levels to mix

Direct Out = Direct out level

Network Setup

For use with any control over Ethernet, such as wireless control or use with MIDI over TCP/IP, the SQ must be connected as a device on a network.

With default settings, the SQ will automatically connect to any network which uses DHCP to assign IP addresses and will be seen by any apps running on devices connected to the same network.

In some situations, it is necessary or preferable to use a static IP address. It is not recommended to use the static settings unless you fully understand the network you are connecting to.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Network Setup’ tab to view and adjust network settings.

• Touch the DHCP On/Off button to switch DHCP mode on or off. Dynamic address values are displayed when DHCP is enabled and the SQ has been assigned an address. Static settings cannot be adjusted if DHCP mode is on.

• If an address is not assigned via DHCP, the SQ will assign itself an address using an auto-IP function. In this case, an asterisk (‘*’) will be displayed.

• Touch any of the static network values to enter new values.

• Touch the ‘Unit Name’ value to change the name of the SQ (as seen by other devices on the network including apps).

• Touch the ‘Apply’ or ‘Cancel’ button to apply or disregard any changes.

ⓘ When using a wireless router or access point, be sure to connect the SQ’s ‘Network’ port to an available ‘LAN’ port. The network port ‘Lnk’ LED on the SQ will illuminate to show network activity.

User Permissions

Along with the Admin user, SQ can have 10 other users, each with individual permissions, passwords, scene access and user scenes (which are recalled on login).

These users can log in on the SQ itself as well as with any client connected to the SQ remotely, such as the SQ-MixPad and SQ4You remote apps. This means multiple users can be logged in on different devices at the same time.

Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Users’ tab to setup and configure users.

ⓘ User setup and permissions can only be carried out when logged in as Admin.

To change user settings and permissions, first select a user from the list on the left. You are now making changes for this user only, so the user list is visible in all tabs, allowing you to quickly compare users and change permissions at any time.

User Settings –

• Touch the user name text box to change the name of the user.

• Touch the ‘Inactive’ button to activate the user (button changes to ‘Active’ and a tick appears in the list).

• Touch the ‘Set Password’ button to set or change a password for the user. This password is used when logging in as well as when locking the desk.

ⓘ The Admin user is always active and has unrestricted access to all settings of the SQ.

ⓘ To remove a password, just set a blank password for the user.

• Use ‘Scene Range’ to select a range of scenes that the user has access to (the default range is all 300 scenes).

• If required, touch the ‘User Scene’ value to choose a scene to load when the user logs in.

ⓘ When logging in as the same user multiple times (such as when the SQ has been powered off at the end of the day, and the same user logs in on the following day), a pop-up is presented to decide whether the SQ either recalls its previous state or the ‘User Scene’ is reloaded.

User Permissions Library –

With one of the ten users selected, pressing the ‘Library’ key will display the user permissions library. Factory presets are included as starting points and for quick setup, but you may also store and recall user presets.

• Select a preset and touch ‘Recall’ to apply permission settings to the currently selected user.

• Touch ‘User’ to access the user library where you can manage your own presets.

ⓘ The user permissions library cannot be accessed when the Admin user is selected as the Admin cannot be blocked from using any parameters or features.

Permissions –

Touching the ‘Setup’, ‘Parameters’ or ‘Control’ tabs will display lists of parameters and features that can be set to ‘Allow’ or ‘Block’ on a per-user basis.

• Touch the ‘Allow’/’Block’ button on the right to toggle access.

Available User Permissions –
