hi all,
Just 2 quick questions:
How do you assign FX 3 and 4 to a channel (i.e. gated reverb to a snare drum channel) and how do you assign FX to mixes (i.e. reverb to monitor mixes?)
Also does everyone not feel an email from allen and heath about firmware updates would be helpful as my iPad updates automatically then i go to a show and my iPad won’t work as my QU16 still running old firmware?
Many thanks
Press the FX button.
Go the FX3 tab.
Press the Fn Key, press “Library,” select the FX you want (eg a gated verb,) and press “Recall” to load it.
Press the Back Panel button.
Select insert.
Select the relevant channel/mix you want to insert the FX across.
Press Apply.
You’ll get a Dry/Wet control.
If you want to insert the reverb across the whole mix you’d do the above but instead of selecting the snare channel you’d select the relevant mix. If you want to route a reverb return at a particular mix (more likely than an insert,) you’d go to the top layer, press the relevant mix button on the RHS of the console so your fader were mixing to the relevant monitor mix, then you’d raise the FX return fader from the relevant FX engine. pp50-52 of the v1.7 manual explain this.
HTH
Turn off auto updates on your iPad. It’s an option under the iTunes tab.
NEVER, EVER allow any mission critical gear to auto-update unless it’s absolutely, positively a necessity. In this case it is DEATH to your setup as you cannot roll back any iPad apps. Thanks, Apple Corp.

I just got bit by the update thing. Opening QuPad to show somebodty and see it is 1.7, now I have to update the board to match. I was going to skip this version! I really want the channel neams to tranfer to the recorded tracks, that can’t be too hard can it?

Why skip it, it’s the best version yet!
