SELECTED CHANNEL section

Reference Manual

SELECTED CHANNEL section

The SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the right of the display corresponds to a

channel module of a conventional analog mixer, and allows you to use the knobs on the panel

to set all the major parameters of the currently-selected channel.

Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL]

key. If you have assigned an ST IN channel or STEREO channel to a single channel strip,

either the L or the R channel will be selected, and the major parameters for L and R channels

will be linked.

Operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section

Follow the steps below to perform operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

NOTE

• The number and name of the currently-selected

channel is shown in the channel select field located in

the Function Access Area of the touch screen.

• If an ST IN channel or STEREO channel has been

assigned to a single channel strip, you can switch

between L and R by repeatedly pressing the same

[SEL] key.

• You can also switch channels by pressing the channel select field located in the Function Access

Area. Press the left side of the field to select the preceding channel. Press the right side of the

field to select the next channel.

• If you have turned on the option “POPUP APPEARS WHEN KNOB(S) PRESSED” on the

PREFERENCE tab (accessed by pressing the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button),

pressing a knob repeatedly will open or close the screen (1ch).

• Even if a different screen is selected, the channel selected with the

[SEL] key can be set using the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL

section. In this case, a window indicating the value of that parameter will

appear on screen when you operate a knob.

SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen

 SEND field

In this field, you can view the send level and pre/post from the channel

to each MIX/MATRIX bus. You can also switch the on/off status of the

send signals. The view and the function of the knobs and buttons in

the SEND field vary depending on whether a pair of bus channels

(odd-numbered and even-numbered) are comprised of two mono

channels or a stereo channel.

1 Tabs

Enable you to select a group of 16 output bus channels to be

displayed in the SEND field.

• MIX tab .................................. displays MIX buses 1–16.

• MATRIX tab ........................... displays MATRIX buses 1–8.

STEP

1. Press the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section to select the bank that includes

the channel you want to operate.

2. Use a [SEL] key in the top panel channel strip section or the master section, to select

the channel to control.

3. If the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen is not displayed, press one of the knobs in

the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

4. Use the knobs and the buttons in the screen to edit the parameters of the selected

channel.

gain is assigned to the GAIN knob, the analog gain value is shown here.

NOTE

• For an input channel that is patched to an input that has no head amp, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7

will not be shown. For an output channel,

1–7 will not be shown.

• If GAIN KNOB FUNCTION is set to DIGITAL GAIN in the USER SETUP PREFERENCE

screen, the digital gain knob will appear for

Input and output patching

This chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect

inserts, and how to use direct outputs.

When the QL series is in the initial state, the following input ports (jacks/ports) are patched to

each input channel.

For QL5

For QL1

When the QL is in the initial state, the output ports (jacks/ports) are patched to the following

output channels.

*1. QL1: OMNI OUT1–6

*2. QL1: MIX1–6

*3. QL1: OMNI OUT7–8

Input patching

QL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network

patching and QL console internal patching.

For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. In this

window, you can patch the QL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels for the

QL5 and thirty-two (32) channels for the QL1 can be input from a DANTE audio network.

Choose channels from Dante audio network signals and select the I/O devices that you want

to control from the QL series console.

Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window) to

channels on the QL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5)

or DANTE1–32 (for QL1) in the GAIN/PATCH window.

Output patching

Use the OUTPUT PORT window to patch QL console’s output channels and Dante audio

network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1–64 ports (for QL5) or

DANTE 1–32 ports (for QL1).

Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5) or DANTE 1–32 (for QL1)

(assigned in the OUTPUT PORT window) to I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH

window of the I/O DEVICE to make these assignments.
