8.6 Control Setup - Network
Use this screen set the TCP/IP address for the Network
port and the name used to identify the Qu mixer on the
network.
It is important that the network address is compatible
with the addresses of equipment connected to the
port, for example a laptop providing MIDI control of
mixer parameters, or a wireless router providing
remote control using the Qu-Pad iPad app.
DHCP – Enable this if the connected device has DHCP
capability and is therefore able to automatically
allocate a compatible IP address to the mixer. This is
the factory default and is the typical setting for
connecting to a wireless router used to interface with
an iPad.
For manual setting of the network address, enter
compatible IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway
settings.
Unit Name – Enter a name with up to 15 characters to
identify the Qu mixer on the network. The default name
is the model number, for example, ‘Qu-16’ or ‘Qu-24’.
8.7 Control Setup - MIDI
The Qu mixer can send and receive MIDI messages for remote control of many of its functions. It also
provides MMC transport control from this page, or assigned to SoftKeys. The Qu 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 – USB MIDI is supported natively by the Mac so
no driver is needed. A driver for Windows ® computers
can be downloaded from the Allen & Heath web site.
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
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 currently allows only one TCP connection at
a time over its Network port.
MIDI channel number – The Qu 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.
