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.

Input channels
This chapter explains various operations for input channels.
Signal flow for input channels
The input channels comprise the section that processes signals received from the I/O
devices, rear panel input jacks, or slots 1–2, and sends them to the STEREO bus, MONO bus,
MIX buses, or MATRIX buses. There are two types of input channels, as follows.
INPUT channel (monaural)
These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the QL series console is in the
default state, the signal from the analog input connector is assigned.
ST IN channel (stereo)
These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the QL series console is in the
default state, the input signals from EFFECT RACKS 5–8 are assigned to ST IN 1
–4. There
are no assignments for ST IN 5
–8.
•INPUT PATCH
Assigns input signals to the input channels.
• Ø (phase)
Switches the phase of the input signal.
• DIGITAL GAIN
Attenuates/boosts the level of the input signal.
• HPF (High Pass Filter)
Cuts the region below the specified frequency.
• 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)
A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.
• DYNAMICS 1
This is a dynamics processor that can be used for gating, ducking, expander, or
compressor.
• DYNAMICS 2
This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, compander, or de-esser.
•INPUT DELAY
Corrects input signal delay. You can specify up to 1000ms.
• LEVEL/DCA 1–16
Adjusts the input level of the effect.
•ON (On/off)
Turns the input channel on or off. If this is off, the corresponding channel will be muted.
•PAN
Adjusts the panning of signals sent from the input channel to the STEREO bus.
For the ST IN channel (stereo), you can switch between PAN and BALANCE. The
BALANCE parameter adjusts the volume balance of the left/right signals sent from the
ST IN channel (stereo) to the STEREO bus. You can turn on PAN LINK in the BUS SETUP
window so that the setting of the PAN parameter will also be applied to signals sent to
two MIX or MATRIX buses that are set to stereo.
• LCR (Left/Center/Right)
Sends the input channel signal to the STEREO bus/MONO bus as a three-channel signal
that consists of the L/R channels plus the center channel.
• MIX ON/OFF (MIX send on/off)
This is an on/off switch for signals sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–16.
• MIX LEVEL 1–16 (MIX send levels 1–16)
Adjusts the send level of signals sent from the input channel to VARI type MIX buses 1–
16. As the position from which the signal is sent to the MIX bus, you can choose from
the following: immediately before EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader.
• MATRIX ON/OFF (MATRIX send on/off)
This is an on/off switch for signals sent from the input channel to MATRIX buses 1–8.
• MATRIX LEVEL 1–8 (MATRIX send levels 1–8)
Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input channel to MATRIX buses 1–8.
As the position from which the signal is sent to the MATRIX bus, you can choose from
the following: immediately before the EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader.

Making HA (Head Amp) settings
You can make HA (Head Amp) related settings (phantom power on/off, gain, phase) for the
input channel.
• To adjust only the HA analog gain, use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob.
Setting the gain
Head amp settings are made in the GAIN/PATCH window.
NOTE
• The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the HA gain is adjusted between +17 dB and
+18 dB.
• Keep in mind that noise may be generated when using phantom power if there is a difference
between the Hot and Cold output impedance of an external device connected to the INPUT jack.
• The GAIN knob, +48V button, and Ø button are valid only on channels for which the assigned
input port is an INPUT jack on the I/O device, the INPUT jack on the QL unit, or a slot that is
connected to an external head amp device (e.g., Yamaha AD8HR or SB168-ES).

• GC (Gain Compensation) ON/OFF button
Turns the Gain Compensation (gain correction function) on or off. If the Gain
Compensation function is turned on, the level of the signal output from the I/O device
to the audio network will be stabilized. For example, if the FOH console and the
monitoring console are sharing an I/O device, or if you are performing digital recording
via Dante connections, using this function will maintain the signal output at a constant
level from the I/O device to the network even if the analog gain value on the I/O device
is changed. If the Gain Compensation function is turned off, the analog gain and digital
gain will return to the level that was obtained when you turned on the function.
Therefore, the signal level on the digital network will remain the same.

Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain
Compensation is on
If Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the
I/O device to output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount.
Therefore, the signals on the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the
digital domain.
For example, assume that the analog gain value has been set to +30 dB and Gain
Compensation is now turned on. Under this condition, if you raise the analog gain value to
+45 dB, the level of the signal sent to the audio network will stay at +30 dB (that is, attenuated
by –15 dB).
If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing one I/O device, adjusting the
analog gain on the FOH console will not affect the input level on the monitoring console. The
signal in the audio network is maintained at a constant level, and therefore increasing the
analog gain as much as possible will lower the relative noise floor and improve the S/N ratio.
The gain of each signal input to the QL series unit will be adjusted by the digital gain
parameter of the QL series console.
However, please note that if the signal is distorted due to a high level of analog gain, you must
first turn the Gain Compensation function off, set the gain to an appropriate input level, and
then turn the function back on. If you try to lower the analog gain level while the Gain
Compensation function is on, the signal on the audio network will be amplified by the same
amount due to the Gain Compensation function, and the signal will remain distorted.
NOTE
You can perform this operation rapidly if you’ve assigned Gain Compensation on/off as the SET
BY SEL function to one of the USER DEFINED keys.
Sending the signal from an input channel to the
STEREO/MONO bus
The STEREO bus and MONO bus are used to send signals to the main speakers. There are
two ways to send signals to the STEREO bus or MONO bus: ST/MONO mode and LCR
mode. You can select the mode individually for each channel. These two modes differ as
follows.
ST/MONO mode
This mode sends signals from the input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus
independently.
• Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus can be
switched on or off individually.
• The panning of a signal sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus L/R is controlled by
the TO ST PAN knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.)
• The left/right volume balance of a signal sent from an ST IN channel to the STEREO bus is
controlled by this knob.
If PAN/BALANCE mode is set to PAN, you will be able to adjust the pan position of signals
sent to the STEREO bus L/R individually (page 31).
LCR mode
This mode sends input channel signals to three buses (STEREO (L/R) and MONO (C))
simultaneously.
• Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and MONO bus will be switched on
or off collectively.
• The CSR (Center Side Ratio) knob specifies the level ratio between signals sent from an
input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and to the MONO (C) bus.
• The TO ST PAN knob/BALANCE knob specifies the level of signals sent from an input
channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and MONO (C) bus.
NOTE
If you want to monitor the signal of the STEREO bus or MONO bus through headphones or
similar devices, press the MONITOR button in the Function Access Area to select “LCR” as the
monitor source before you continue with the following procedure.

Sending a signal from an input channel to a MIX/
MATRIX bus
The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on
stage, or to external effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is
independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or
to a backstage monitoring system.
You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following ways.
Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section
With this method, you use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MIX/
MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/
MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively.
Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)
With this method, you switch the QL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the
faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When
using this method, signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be
adjusted simultaneously.
Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section
This section explains how to use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels of
signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses.
MIX buses can be either a FIXED type that features a fixed send level, or a VARI type that
features a variable send level. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between
FIXED and VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press
the SETUP button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window.
If the MIX bus is a FIXED type
A gray circle is displayed instead of the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot
adjust the send level.
For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus
Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level.
STEP
1. Press the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section and the [SEL] keys on the top
panel to select the input channel from which you want to send the signal to the
MIX/MATRIX buses.
2. Turn on the ON button in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
3. Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX
buses.

If the MIX/MATRIX bus is a stereo bus
You can link the main parameters of two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX
buses. If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the
two adjacent TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX
PAN knob. (If BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, it will
operate as a BALANCE knob).
NOTE
• For an INPUT channel (monaural), the right knob will adjust the common send level to the two
MIX/MATRIX buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX
buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND PAN knob counter-clockwise will increase the
amount of signal sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will
increase the amount sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus.
• For a ST IN channel (stereo), if BALANCE mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO
window (8ch), the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and
the left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/MATRIX
buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND BAL knob counter-clockwise will increase the
amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it
clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX
bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window (8ch), the left knob will
function as the PAN knob. The right knob will function as send level, just as in BALANCE mode.

OUTPUT channels
This chapter explains output channels (MIX channels, MATRIX channels, STEREO channels,
MONO channels).
Signal flow for output channels
The output channel section takes the signals sent from the input channels to the various
buses, processes them with EQ and dynamics, and sends them to output ports or other
buses. The following types of output channels are provided.
MIX channels
These channels process signals sent from input channels to MIX buses, and output them to
the corresponding output port, MATRIX bus, STEREO bus, or MONO (C) bus.
STEREO channel/MONO (C) channel
Each of these channels processes the signal sent from the input channels to the STEREO
bus or MONO (C) bus, and send it to the corresponding output port or MATRIX bus. If input
channels are in LCR mode, the STEREO (L/R) channels and the MONO (C) channel can be
used together as a set of three output channels.
MATRIX channel
These channels process the signals sent from input channels, MIX channels, and STEREO/
MONO channels to MATRIX buses, and send them to the corresponding output ports.
• 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)
A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.
• DYNAMICS 1
This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, expander, or compander.
•LEVEL
Adjusts the output level of the channel.
•ON (On/off)
Turns the output channel on or off. If this is off, the corresponding channel will be
muted.

EQ and Dynamics
Each input channel and output channel on a QL series console provides a four-band EQ and
dynamics.
EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An attenuator is provided
immediately before the EQ, allowing you to attenuate the level of the input signal so that the
GAIN setting for EQ will not cause the signal to clip. Input channels also provide a high-pass
filter that is independent of the EQ.
Input channels provide two dynamics processors: Dynamics 1 can be used as a gate, ducking
device, compressor, or expander, while Dynamics 2 can be used as a compressor, hard
compander, soft compander, or de-esser. Output channels provide one dynamics processor,
which can be used as a compressor, expander, hard compander, or soft compander.
Using EQ
This section explains the four-band EQ that is provided on input channels and output
channels.
NOTE
• The EQ field in the OVERVIEW screen shows the response of the EQ. In this OVERVIEW screen,
you can edit the parameter by using the EQ knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
• EQ settings can be saved and recalled at any time using the dedicated library. You can also take
advantage of a wide variety of presets suitable for various instruments or situations.
• You can also access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, and use the knobs in the

Using the EQ or Dynamics libraries
You can use dedicated libraries to store and recall EQ and dynamics settings. For details on
using the EQ and dynamics libraries, refer to the “Using the libraries” section in the separate
Owner’s Manual.
EQ library
There is an “INPUT EQ LIBRARY” that lets you store/recall EQ
settings for input channels, and an “OUTPUT EQ LIBRARY” that
lets you store and recall EQ settings for output channels.
To recall settings from a library, press the LIBRARY tool button in
the/HPF/EQ window.
NOTE
You can recall 199 different settings from both the input EQ library and output EQ library. Forty
(40) of the input library items are read-only presets, and three (3) of the output library items are
read-only presets.
Dynamics library
Use the “Dynamics Library” to store and recall dynamics settings. All of the dynamics
processors on QL series units use this dynamics library. (However, the available types will
differ between an input channel’s Dynamics 1 and Dynamics 2, and an output channel’s
Dynamics 1. You cannot recall a type that cannot be selected.)
To recall an item from the dynamics library, press the LIBRARY tool button in the DYNAMICS

Channel Job
This chapter explains the DCA Group and Mute Group functions that enable you to control the
level or muting of multiple channels together, the Channel Link function that links the
parameters of multiple channels, and the operations that enable you to copy or move
parameters between channels.
DCA group
QL series consoles feature sixteen DCA groups that enable you to control the level of multiple
channels simultaneously.
DCA groups enable you to assign input channels to sixteen groups, so that the DCA faders
can be used to control the level of all channels in each group. A single DCA fader will control
the level of all input channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level
difference between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics, for
example, can be grouped.
Assigning channels to a DCA group
There are two ways to assign a channel to a DCA group.
• You can select a specific DCA group and then specify the channels to be assigned to the
group.
• You can select a specific channel and then specify the DCA group to which it should be
assigned.
NOTE
• DCA groups can be used only with input channels.
• DCA group settings are saved as part of the scene.
Selecting channels to belong to a specific DCA group
NOTE
• You can assign a single channel to more than one DCA group. In this case, the value will be the
sum of the levels of all assigned DCA group faders.
• The DCA/MUTE GROUP field of the OVERVIEW screen indicates the DCA group(s) to which
each channel is assigned. Numbers that are lit yellow in the upper and middle row of this field
indicate the DCA groups to which that channel belongs.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button.
2. Press the DCA GROUP button.
3. Use the DCA GROUP select button to select the DCA group to which you want to
assign channels.
4. Use the [SEL] keys of the input channels to select the input channel s that you want
to assign to the group (multiple selections are allowed).

“Operating the Cue function” on page 92.
Mute group
QL series consoles feature eight mute groups.
Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]–[12] to mute or unmute multiple
channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.
Mute groups 1–8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of
channels can exist in the same group.
Assigning channels to mute groups
As with the DCA group, there are the following two ways to assign channels to mute groups.
• You can select a specific mute group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to
the group.
• You can select a specific channel and then specify the mute group to which it should be
assigned.
Selecting the channels that will belong to a specific mute group
NOTE
• You may assign a single channel to more than one mute group.
• The DCA/MUTE GROUP field of the OVERVIEW screen indicates the mute group(s) to which
each channel is assigned. Numbers that are lit red in the lower line of this field indicate the mute
groups to which that channel belongs.
• If the dimmer level is set to any level other than –∞ dB, and the corresponding MUTE GROUP
MASTER button is turned on, these numbers will light orange.

when you mute one of the mute groups to which that channel belongs. However, this mute
control by turning on/off the [ON] key is disabled in the PREVIEW mode.
Using the Recall Safe function
“Recall Safe” is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channels (DCA groups) from
Recall operations. Unlike the Focus Recall function (page 80), which you can apply to
individual scenes, the Recall Safe settings are globally applied to all scenes.
NOTE
• Simply selecting a parameter in step 4 does not enable Recall Safe. To turn Recall Safe on or off,
you must also perform the operation described in step 5.
• Bus settings are not subject to Recall Safe. They will always be reproduced in the recalled scene.
This means that if Recall Safe is enabled for one of several channels included in a link group or
one of two channels set to stereo, the parameter settings of that channel may differ from those of
the other channel(s). In such cases, the applicable parameter will be automatically re-linked the
next time it is operated.
You can globally apply Recall Safe to channel links by using the global parameter.
• You can use the Recall Safe function along with the Focus Recall function (page 80). Channels
or parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be
recalled.
• If you hold down the [SEL] key while performing a recall operation, all parameters of that channel
will be treated as Recall Safe regardless of the state of the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT
selections.

Channel Link function
Channel Link is a function that links the operation of parameters such as fader and EQ
between input channels. Two or more input channels that are linked are called a “link group.”
There is no limit on the number of link groups you can create, or on the number and
combinations of input channels that can be included in these link groups. You can select the
types of parameters to be linked for each link group.
The parameters to be linked can be selected from the following choices.
• Head amp settings
• Digital gain settings
•HPF settings
•EQ settings
• Dynamics 1 settings
• Dynamics 2 settings
• Insert on and insert point settings
• Direct Out on, Direct Out level, and Direct Out point settings
• Send levels and PRE/POST settings of signals sent to MIX buses
• On/off status of signals sent to MIX buses
• Send levels and PRE/POST settings of signals sent to MATRIX buses
• On/off status of signals sent to MATRIX buses
• Fader operations
• [ON] key operations
• TO STEREO/MONO setting
• DELAY setting
• DCA GROUP ASSIGN setting
• MUTE GROUP ASSIGN and MUTE SAFE settings
Linking the desired input channels
This section explains how to link specific parameters of input channels.
NOTE
Channel link settings are saved as part of the scene.
NOTE
• You can also access the CH LINK MODE window by simultaneously pressing and then releasing
the [SEL] keys of two or more channels that will be linked.
• When you press the [SEL] key for a channel (that belongs to a link group) to make it light, the
[SEL] keys of all channels that belong to the same link group will blink.
• If you link an input channel to a ST IN channel, parameters that do not exist for a ST IN channel
will be ignored.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button.
2. Press the CH LINK button in the CH JOB menu.
3. To link channels, hold down the [SEL] key for the link-source input channel and press
the [SEL] key for the link-destination channel.
4. Use the buttons of the LINK PARAMETER field in the CH LINK MODE window to
select the parameter(s) that will be linked (multiple selections are allowed).
5. If you turned on the MIX ON, MIX SEND, MATRIX ON, or MATRIX SEND buttons in
step 4, use the buttons of the SEND PARAMETER field to specify the bus(es) for
which you want operations to be linked (multiple selections are allowed).

When you create a link group, the corresponding channels will be highlighted. If there
are two or more link groups, each group is shown in a different color. Press this field to
open the CH LINK SET window. You can also link channels in this window.
NOTE
• Left and right of the ST IN channel are always linked.
• In the case of the QL1, faders that do not exist on the model will not be shown.
2 Link indicator
If a channel belonging to a link group is selected, the associated link group is shown.
The LINK PARAMETER field and SEND PARAMETER field show the link settings.
While you hold down the [SEL] key of a channel that does not belong to any link group,
the link indicator shows the link group that will be created next. The LINK PARAMETER
field and SEND PARAMETER field show the settings of the link group that had been
previously displayed.
3 LINK PARAMETER field
Use the buttons in this field to select the parameters that you want to link. You can do
this independently for each link group.
The table below lists the parameters you can select in the LINK PARAMETER field.
NOTE
• If you link Dynamics 1 or 2 for two or more input channels, the parameter values will be linked,
but the key-in sources are not linked and can instead be set for each channel. The behavior of
key-in signals is linked in units of 8ch*. For details about dynamics, see “EQ and Dynamics” on
page 49.
* Units of 8ch means Ch1–8, Ch9–16, Ch17–24, Ch25–32, Ch33–40, Ch41–48, Ch49–56,
Ch57–64, ST IN 1L–ST IN 4R, and ST IN 5L–ST IN 8R.
• If you turn on the EQ button or DYNAMICS 1/2 buttons, library recall operations will also be linked.
• The HA analog gain setting and the fader operation will be linked and will maintain the same
relative level difference between the channels.
• In the insert settings, the parameters for Insert 1 and Insert 2 are selected together.

Channel link operations
• Linking three or more channels
Hold down the link-source [SEL] key and successively press the [SEL] key of each channel
you want to add to the link group.
• Adding a new channel to an existing link group
Hold down any [SEL] key within the group and press the [SEL] key that you want to add
to the group.
NOTE
If the link-destination channel is already assigned to another link group, its assignment to the
previous group will be canceled, and it will be added to the newly assigned group.
• Removing a channel from a link group
Hold down any [SEL] key in the same link group, and press the [SEL] key for the channel
that you want to remove.
• Changing the level balance between channels that belong to the same link group
While pressing and holding down the [SEL] key for the desired linked channel, adjust the
parameter value. You can also remove all linked channels from the same link group
temporarily. This can be helpful if you want to edit parameters that are linked to each
other while maintaining the same relative level differences. For example, this may be the
case for parameters such as the HA analog gain and fader. While you are holding down
the [SEL] key, the HA analog gain and fader values will not be linked. (However, you
cannot temporarily cancel this link during the “fading” phase of a recalled scene.)

Using the Focus Recall function
“Focus Recall” is a function that lets you specify the scene parameters that will be recalled
(loaded) when you recall a scene. You can specify these settings for each scene. This function
is useful if you want to recall only the input channel settings of a specific scene.
NOTE
In contrast to Focus, the QL series console also features a “Recall Safe” function that enables
you to exclude specific channels and parameters from recall operations. However, while the
Focus Recall function is specified individually for each scene, the Recall Safe settings are applied
to all scenes.
NOTE
• The FOCUS field enables you to make settings for the Focus function. The buttons in this field
correspond to the scene list shown on the left side of the SCENE LIST window.
• Scenes for which Focus settings are made are indicated by a “FOCUS” indication in the STATUS
field of the SCENE LIST window.
• You can use the Focus function in conjunction with the Recall Safe function. Channels or
parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be
recalled.

Using Preview mode
Preview mode lets you view or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting
the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings
of the newly recalled scene will appear on the panel of the QL series console, but the signal
processing of the current scene will remain as it was prior to the recall. Even if you modify the
settings and save them as a new scene or by overwriting, the signal processing of the current
scene will remain as it was prior to the recall. During an actual performance, it can be
convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you intend to recall next, or to make
minor changes to a scene and then store it.

headphones. Below the front panel of the QL series console is a PHONES out jack for
monitoring, which enables you to monitor the monitoring source signal at any time. By
assigning the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also
monitor the same signal through external speakers.
You can select the following signals as the monitor source.
• STEREO channel output signal
• MONO channel output signal
• STEREO+MONO channel output signal
• INPUT 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32 (9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 for the QL1) channel input
signal (for monitoring a two channel pair)
• RECORDER PLAYBACK output signal
• A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output
signals, RECORDER PLAYBACK output signals, and INPUT 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-
32 (9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 for the QL1) input signals
The Cue function enables you to check an individual channel or DCA group by temporarily
monitoring it via MONITOR OUT or PHONES. When you press the [CUE] key on the top
panel, the cue signal of the corresponding channel or DCA group is sent as the monitor output
from the selected output port.
NOTE
Be aware that if you turn CUE INTERRUPTION off in the MONITOR popup window, the cue

These cue signals are operated via buttons displayed on the
touch screen. This group is enabled if you turn on the CUE
button in the EFFECT window or the PREMIUM window, or
if you turn on the KEY IN CUE button in the DYNAMICS 1
window. This group will automatically be disabled when
you exit the corresponding window.
NOTE
You cannot turn on cue monitoring between different groups simultaneously. Normally, the group
to which the most recently-pressed [CUE] key (or on-screen CUE/KEY IN CUE button) belongs
will take priority, and the [CUE] keys for the previously-selected group will be defeated.
However, if you have switched the cue signal group in a specific order when the CUE MODE
setting is MIX CUE, the state of the [CUE] keys for the previously-selected group will be restored
when the current cue signal is defeated.
The right illustration shows the priority
order of the [CUE] keys. After you
have switched groups from lower to
upper levels, if you then defeat cue for
the upper group, the previous [CUE]
key status of the group immediately
below will be restored.
For example, if you switch groups in
the order of OUTPUT CUE group
DCA CUE group INPUT CUE group
Other CUE group, you can then
successively defeat the [CUE] keys
(CUE/KEY IN CUE buttons) to
successively restore the [CUE] key
status of the previously-selected group.

Talkback and Oscillator
Talkback is a function that sends the signal of the selected INPUT jack to the desired bus. This
is used mainly to convey instructions from the operator or sound engineer to the performers
and staff.
QL series consoles also feature an oscillator that can output a sine wave or pink noise to the
desired bus, so that you will be able to check external equipment or to test the acoustical
response of the room or hall.
The diagram below shows the signal flow of the talkback and oscillator signals.
Using Talkback
The Talkback function sends the signal (that is input at the input jacks) to the desired bus.
NOTE
• The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the HA gain is adjusted between +17 dB and
+18 dB.
• Keep in mind that noise may be generated when using phantom power if there is a difference
between the Hot and Cold output impedance of an external device connected to the INPUT jack.
• You can also assign talkback on/off or an ASSIGN change to a USER DEFINED key. In this case,
you can select either a Latch operation or an Unlatch operation (the function will be enabled only
while you continue holding down the key) (page 169).
• When talkback is on, you can use the talkback dimmer to lower the monitor levels other than the
talkback signal (page 90).

Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack
This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack.
About the virtual rack
QL series consoles enable you to use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as
“GEQ”) and effects/processors to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ:
31BandGEQ which enables you to freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and
Flex15GEQ which enables you to adjust any fifteen of thirty-one bands. You can use the 16ch
Automixer or the 8ch Automixer. You can also use 54 different effect types. The QL series
consoles feature Premium Rack, which employs VCM technology. This technology models
analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. The
Premium Rack offers six types of processors.
In order to use a GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack, you must mount the GEQ, effect, or Premium
Rack in each virtual rack, and patch the input and output of that rack to the desired signal
route. In other words, the operation is just as though you had installed a signal processor or
effect device in an actual rack, and used patch cords to connect it. You can mount a GEQ
instance in each of the eight racks 1-8, an effect rack instance in each of the eight racks 1-8,
and a Premium Rack instance in each of the eight racks 1-8.
Up to two channels of input and output can be used for each rack. (However if the
“31BandGEQ” is mounted in a rack, there will be only one channel each for input and output.)
The figure below shows the signal flow for the virtual racks.
NOTE
The QL console provides a rack for mounting an I/O rack (such as an Rio series), external head
amps (Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES, etc.) as well as the virtual rack for GEQ, effects and Premium
Rack. For details, refer to “I/O devices and external head amps” on page 127.
Virtual rack operations
This section explains how to mount a GEQ or effect in the virtual rack, and patch the input
and output of the rack as an example.
NOTE
• In steps 6 and 8, you can make settings such that the confirmation dialog box will not appear
(page 168).
• The type of GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack mounted in each rack, its parameter settings, and the
input-source and output-destination patch settings are saved as part of the scene.

Graphic EQ operations
The QL series console enables you to mount a GEQ in GEQ racks 1–8 and patch it to the
insert-out/in of a MIX/MATRIX channel or STEREO/MONO channel. You can also mount it in
EFFECT racks 1–8 (FX 1–8) and patch it to the insert-out/in of an input channel, MIX/MATRIX
channel or STEREO/MONO channel. The gain of each band can be adjusted using the faders
and [ON] keys in the Channel Strip section.
The following two types of GEQ are provided.
31BandGEQ
This is a monaural 31-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3
octave wide, the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB, and
the gain of all thirty-one bands can be adjusted.
If a 31BandGEQ is mounted in a rack, one channel of
input and output can be used for that rack.
Flex15GEQ
This is a monaural 15-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3
octave wide, and the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB.
The Flex15GEQ enables you to adjust the gain for
any fifteen of the same bands as the thirty-one bands
of the 31bandGEQ. (Once you have used up fifteen
bands of adjustment, you will not be able to adjust the gain of another band until you reset a
previously-adjusted band to the flat setting.)
A rack for which the Flex15GEQ is selected will have two Flex15GEQ units (shown as “A” and
“B” respectively) mounted in that rack, and will allow two channels of input and output. If you
mount a Flex15GEQ in each rack, you will be able to use up to 32 GEQ units simultaneously.

About AUTOMIXER
Automixer is included as a standard feature on the QL series. Automixer searches for enabled
mics and automatically optimizes gain distribution, for uses such as speeches without scripts.
This allows uniform system gain to be maintained among multiple mics, freeing the engineer
from making constant fader adjustments.
Automixer operating principle
With the Dugan speech system used in Automixer, you can automatically adjust the gain for
multiple mics used for speeches.
The Dugan speech system functions differently from a limiter or auto level controller. When
multiple people are speaking, the engineer mixes the gain for each mic using the faders
conventionally. Even if nobody is speaking, the system searches for mic audio and
automatically distributes gain. Therefore, faders can leave in their raised positions.
STEP
1. Press the rack container in which you mounted Flex15GEQ.
2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the Flex15GEQ on.
3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you
will control.
4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band.
5. When you’ve finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN
field.
When 1 person speaks on multiple mics When 2 people speak on multiple mics
When 1 person is speaking, the gain on the mic
being used is immediately increased and the gain
on all other mics is reduced. The same operation
occurs even if another person is speaking.
If 2 people are speaking at the same time, gain is
automatically distributed so that the total gain is
consistent across both mics, and the gain on the
remaining mic is reduced.

Automixer calculates the ratio of input level for specific channels for all input mixes in
the group. The following example explains the weight control mechanism.
When increasing the weight setting in one channel
• the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel increases, while the
values for other channels are reduced.
• Channels with high weight setting values receive a higher system gain than other
channels.
When reducing the weight setting in one channel
• the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel reduces, while the
values for other channels are increased.
• When speaking into multiple mics at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish between
different mics.
If you can hear noise near one mic (example: noise from a computer ventilation fan or
an air conditioner), you can suppress the noise by reducing the weight setting for that
channel.
4 group
Each channel can be assigned to three groups (a/b/c).
This group function is convenient for the following uses.
• Using multiple rooms: Assign the mics in each room to their own groups, and use a
different Automixer for each.
• Stereo pan: Assign mics panned to left, right and center to groups a, b, and c, to
maintain a stable stereo field.
5 override
If you turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field, the channel will switch to man
mode or mute mode according to the settings for that channel’s override button.
• When the channel’s override button is on, the mode for that channel will switch to man
when the master OVERRIDE button is turned on.
• When the channel’s override is off, the mode for that channel will switch to mute when
the master OVERRIDE button is turned on.
• When the master OVERRIDE button is turned off, the channel will return to its previous
mode.
The override function is convenient when the moderator of a panel discussion wants to
control the system.
Follow the instructions below to change the settings.
1. Turn on the override button on the moderator’s channel.
2. Turn off the override button on all other channels.

Editing the internal effects
The internal effects of the QL series console can be mounted in EFFECT racks 1–8, and
patched to an output channel’s output or input channel’s input, or inserted into a channel. For
each effect mounted in a rack, you can choose one of 54 types of effect.
With the default settings, the signals from MIX channels 13–16 are input to racks 5–8, and
from the racks are then output to ST IN 1–4 (L/R). There are no assignments to racks 1–4.
NOTE
Some effect types can be mounted only in racks 1, 3, 5 or 7.
To use an internal effect via send and return, assign the output of a MIX channel to the input
of the effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the
corresponding output channel is used as a master channel for the effect send, and the input
channel is used as an effect return channel.
Alternatively, you can assign the input and output of the internal effect to the insert-out/in of a
desired channel (except for a ST IN channel), so that the effect is inserted into that channel.
The internal effects fall into two categories; “STEREO type” (2-in/2-out) effects that process
the L/R channel input signals independently, and “MIX type” (1-in/2-out) effects that mix the
two channels before processing them.
If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R
channels are processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is
selected, as follows.
STEREO type effects
MIX type effects
If a signal is assigned to only one input of a two-input effect, it will be processed as mono-in/
stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected. However,
please note that this will not apply to COMP276, COMP276S, COMP260, COMP260S,
EQUALIZER601, and OPENDECK.
Using an internal effect via send and return
This section explains how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an
effect return channel, so that the effect can be used in a send and return configuration.
NOTE
• If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI” as the bus type. This will allow
you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel.
• If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it is convenient to assign the send-destination
MIX bus to stereo. (For details on bus assignments, refer to “Basic settings for MIX buses and
MATRIX buses” on page 189.)

• When adjusting the effect send level, make sure that the send level from the ST IN channel you
selected as the output destination for the rack to the corresponding MIX bus is set to –∞ dB. If
you raise this send level, the output of the effect will be returned to the input of the same effect,
possibly causing oscillation.
• If you press the knob once again, the MIX SEND window (8ch) for the send-destination MIX bus
will appear. This window contains on/off switches for the signals sent from each channel to the
corresponding bus, and lets you select the send point (PRE or POST) (page 35).
Adjusting the master level of the effect send
Operate the fader for the MIX channel you specified as the input source for the rack.
Set the level as high as possible without allowing the post-effect signal to reach the overload
point.
NOTE
The input and output levels of the effect are shown by the input/output meters in the upper right
of the EFFECT EDIT window.
Adjusting the effect return level
To adjust the effect return level, operate the fader for the ST IN channel you specified as the
output destination for the rack.
Inserting an internal effect into a channel
This section explains how to insert an effect into a channel by assigning the input/output of
the internal effect to the input/output of the desired channel (except for a ST IN channel). For
details on editing the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect parameters” on
page 114.
NOTE
• If you are inserting an effect into a channel that handles a stereo source, assign the R channel
insert-out/insert-in to the R input and output of the effect in the same way as step 3.
• For more information about how to operate the INSERT/DIRECT OUT window, refer to “Inserting
an external device into a channel” on page 18.
• The levels before and after the effect are shown by the input and output meters in the upper right
of the EFFECT EDIT window.
• Adjust the effect send master level and the effect parameters so that the signal does not reach
the overload point at the input or output stage of the effect.

Using the Tap Tempo function
“Tap tempo” is a function that lets you specify the delay time of a delay effect or the modulation
speed of a modulation effect by striking a key at the desired interval. The Tap Tempo function
can be used for delay-type and modulation-type effects in which the BPM parameter is
included, and specify the delay time or modulation speed. To use the Tap function, you must
assign Tap Tempo to a USER DEFINED key, and then operate that USER DEFINED key.
NOTE
For details on the parameters of each effect type, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual).
Assigning the Tap Tempo function to a USER DEFINED key
NOTE
• If you specify “CURRENT PAGE” in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY
SETUP window, the Tap Tempo function can be used for the currently-displayed effect (rack).
• If you specify “RACK x” (x=1–8) in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY
SETUP window, you can use the Tap Tempo function only for a specific effect (rack).
• For more information on USER DEFINED keys, refer to “USER DEFINED keys” on page 169.

Using the Tap Tempo function
The average interval (BPM) at which you press the USER DEFINED key will be calculated,
and that value will be applied to the BPM parameter.
NOTE
• If the average value is outside the range of 20–300 BPM, it will be ignored.
• If you turn on the MIDI CLK button in the special parameter field, the BPM parameter value will
change in relation to the tempo of the MIDI timing clock received from the MIDI port.
Effects and tempo synchronization
Some effects of the QL series can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types
of effect; delay-type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time
will change according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the
modulation signal will change according to the tempo.
Parameters related to tempo synchronization
The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization.
1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ.
SYNC: ......................... This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization.
NOTE and TEMPO: .... These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization.
DELAY and FREQ.: ..... DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the
modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the
effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type
effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects.
How the parameters are related
Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value
*a
from the TEMPO and
NOTE.
Turn SYNC ON
Change NOTE DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set
In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.
DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)
Change TEMPO DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set
In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.
DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) sec
FREQ. = (TEMPO/60) / (NOTE x 4) Hz
Example 1:
When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to
quarter note
DELAY = new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)
= (1/4) x 4 x (60/120)
= 0.5 (sec)
= 500 ms
Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the RACK button.
2. Press the EFFECT tab in the VIRTUAL RACK window.
3. Press the rack container in which the effect you want to control is mounted.
4. Press the effect type field in the EFFECT EDIT window.
5. In the EFFECT TYPE window, select an effect type that includes a BPM parameter.
6. Set the SYNC parameter ON in the effect parameter field.
7. At the desired tempo, repeatedly press the USER DEFINED key to which you
assigned the Tap Tempo function, to set the BPM parameter.

Example 2:
When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to
121
DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/new TEMPO)
= (1/8) x 4 x (60/121)
= 0.2479 (sec)
= 247.9 (ms)
Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms.
*a Rounded values are used for the calculation results.
Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter
The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters.
• It is a common value shared by all effects. (However, this is relevant only if you turn the MIDI
button and the SYNC parameter on, while a MIDI CLOCK is being input to the MIDI IN
connector.)
• You cannot store it to or recall it from the Effects Library. (You can store it to and recall it from
a Scene.)
This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled
as when that effect was stored. Here is an example.
Store the effect: TEMPO=120 Change TEMPO to 60 Recall the effect: TEMPO=60
Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly.
However if the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when
recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between
store and recall, the QL series does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect
is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored.
* The NOTE parameter is calculated based on the following values.
Using the Freeze effect
This section explains how to use the “FREEZE” effect type, which provides the functionality
of a simple sampler. When this effect type is selected, you can perform operations on screen
to record (sample) and play back a sound.
NOTE
Effect types “FREEZE” and “HQ.PITCH” can be used only in rack 1, 3, 5, or 7.
NOTE
• The bar in the EFFECT EDIT window reflects the current recording progress. When a fixed time
has elapsed, the buttons will automatically turn off.
• You can adjust the parameters in the EFFECT EDIT window to make detailed settings for
recording time, the way in which recording will begin, and the way in which the sample will play
back. For details on the parameters, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual).
• The sampled content will be erased if you record another sample, change the effect, or turn off
the power to the QL unit.

Portico 5033
Portico 5033 is a processor that emulates a 5-band analog EQ developed by Rupert Neve
Designs (RND). 5033EQ features a unique tone control response. It inherited the history of
the “1073,” which was praised as one of the greatest devices developed by Mr. Rupert Neve.
Yamaha’s VCM technology has modeled the EQ to the last detail, including the input/output
transformer that was designed by Rupert Neve himself. As a result, this processor model
produces musically high-quality sound even when bypassed. Its response features unique
effects. For example, if the Lo setting is cut, the low range becomes tight, and if the Hi setting
is raised, the desired range will be boosted without hurting your ears.
1 ALL BYPASS button
Switches EQ bypass on or off. Even when EQ bypass is on, the signal will pass through
the input/output transformer and amp circuits.
2 TRIM knob
Adjusts the input gain of the processor.
3 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Frequency knobs
Adjust the frequency for each band.
4 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Gain knobs

5 LMF/MF/HMF Q knobs
Adjust the Q (steepness) of each band. The higher the Q value, the narrower the range
in which you can control the gain for the band.
6 LMF/MF/HMF IN button
Turn LMF/MF/HMF EQ on or off respectively.
7 LF/HF IN button
Turn LF and HF EQ on or off simultaneously.
8 Graph
Indicates the graphical EQ response.
Portico 5043
Portico 5043, like Portico 5033, is a processor that emulates RND’s analog compressor. The
actual 5043 compressor is equipped with the same input/output transformer as that of the
5033 EQ, delivering a natural, analog-like tonality and effect. It enables you to obtain a range
of results from hard compression to natural sound, and is suitable for a broad range of audio
sources ranging from drums to vocals. The most notable feature of this model is that you can
switch the gain reduction type. You can choose either an FF (Feed-Forward) circuit type
(which is the current mainstream), or an FB (Feed-Back) circuit which was typically used in
vintage compressors. This allows you to create sounds with various characteristics as
appropriate for your applications.
1 IN button
Turns the compressor’s bypass on or off. When the compressor is bypassed, the button
indicator will turn off. However, even if the compressor is bypassed, the signal will pass
through the input/output transformer and amp circuits.

U76
U76 is a processor that emulates a popular vintage compressor used in a wide range of
situations. This processor does not provide the threshold parameter that is found on
conventional compressors. Instead, the intensity of compression is determined by the
balance between the input gain and the output gain. The “All mode” setting for the RATIO
parameter allows you to create a heavily-compressed sound that is typical of this model. It
produces an aggressive tonal character with a rich addition of overtones.
1 INPUT knob
Adjusts the input level. As the input level gets higher, more compression is applied.
2 ATTACK knob
Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest
attack time.

EQ-1A
EQ-1A is a processor that emulates a famous passive-type vintage EQ. It features a unique
style of operation, allowing you to individually boost and attenuate (cut) each of two frequency
ranges (high and low). The frequency response is utterly unlike that of a conventional EQ, and
is a uniquely distinctive characteristic of this model. The input/output circuits and vacuum
tubes produce a tonal character that is highly musical and well-balanced.
1 IN switch

When the switch is off, the signal will bypass the filter section, but pass through the
input/output transformer and amp circuits.
2 LOW FREQUENCY knob
Sets the frequency of the low range filter.
3 (LOW) BOOST knob
Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW
FREQUENCY knob.
4 (LOW) ATTEN knob

As you rotate the knob toward the right (Broad), the band will become wider and the
peak level will decrease. This affects only the response of the boost.
6 HIGH FREQUENCY knob
Sets the frequency of the high range filter. This affects only the response of the boost.
7 (HIGH) BOOST knob
Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the HIGH
FREQUENCY knob.
8 (HIGH) ATTEN knob
Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the ATTEN
SEL knob.
9 (HIGH) ATTEN SEL knob
Switches the frequency region attenuated by the ATTEN knob.
Dynamic EQ
Dynamic EQ is a newly-developed equalizer that does not emulate any specific model of
equalizer. The sidechain has a filter that extracts the same frequency band as the EQ. This
allows you to apply EQ in the same way as you might apply a compressor or expander to a
specific frequency region, causing the EQ gain to vary dynamically only when a specific
frequency region of the input signal becomes too high or too low. For example you could use
this on a vocal sound as a de-esser, so that EQ is applied to a specific frequency band only
when sibilance or high-frequency consonants reach an unpleasant level, thus preserving a
natural sound that does not impair the original tonal character. Two full-band Dynamic EQs
are provided, enabling you to process a wide range of audio sources.

Using an external head amp
If an I/O card (such as an MY16-ES64 card) supports the remote protocol of an external head
amp in the QL’s slot, you will be able to remotely control from the QL console some parameters
of the external head amp (Yamaha SB168-ES or AD8HR), such as phantom power (+48V)
on/off status, gain, and HPF.
For details on the I/O card settings, refer to the Owner’s Manual for the I/O card.
Connecting the QL series console to an AD8HR
To remotely control the AD8HR from the QL series console, install an MY16-ES64
EtherSound card in Slot 1 on the QL unit, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the QL unit
to the NAI48-ES. Then, connect the HA REMOTE connector on the NAI48-ES to the HA
REMOTE 1 connector on the AD8HR using an RS422 D-sub 9-pin cable. This connection
enables you to remotely control the AD8HR from the QL series console. To transmit audio
signals (input to the AD8HR) to the QL series console, connect the DIGITAL OUT A (or B)
connector on the AD8HR to the AES/EBU connector on the NAI48-ES using a D-sub 25-pin
AES/EBU cable. Signals will be sent or received between the NAI48-ES and the QL series
console via the MY16-ES64 card.
Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to remotely control multiple AD8HR units
simultaneously. To do this, connect the AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 2 connector to the second
AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 1 connector. If you use the NAI48-ES, you can connect up to four
AD8HR units. Each slot of the QL series console provides up to 16 channels of input, so if you
want the audio signals from the AD8HR to be input to the QL series console, you’ll need to
install two MY16-EX cards in the console and connect the MY16-ES64 via an Ethernet cable.

MIDI
This chapter explains how to transmit MIDI messages from an external device to the QL series
console to control the QL console’s parameters, and how to send out MIDI messages from
the QL console as you operate the unit.
The following illustration shows an example of connecting the MIDI IN/OUT connectors to
transmit and receive MIDI messages.
MIDI functionality on the QL series console
The QL series console can use MIDI to perform the following operations.
Program Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the QL series console, a
Program Change message (a number that is assigned to the event) can be transmitted to an
external device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program
Change message is received from an external device.
Control Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (fader, knob, or key operation) on the QL series console,
the corresponding Control Change message can be transmitted to an external device.
Conversely, events can be executed when Control Change messages are received from an
external device. This allows you to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or
other external device, and play them back later.
Parameter Change (SysEx) transmission and reception
When specific events (fader, knob, or key operations, changes in system settings or user
settings) are executed, “Parameter Change” SysEx (system exclusive) messages can be
transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when Parameter
Changes are received from an external device.
Using this capability, QL operations can be recorded and played back on a MIDI sequencer
or other external device. In addition, changes in system and user settings can be received and
executed by another QL console.
NOTE
As the port used for transmission and reception of MIDI messages, you can select either the rear
panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors or an I/O card installed in slot 1. All of the functionality described
in this section will be available on the port you select.
Basic MIDI settings
You can select the type of MIDI messages the QL series console will transmit and receive, the
MIDI port that will be used, and the MIDI channel.
NOTE
• For details on using Program Change messages, refer to “Using program changes to recall
scenes and library items” on page 141.
• For details on using Control Change messages, refer to “Using control changes to control
parameters” on page 143.

Using program changes to recall scenes and library
items
The QL series console lets you assign a specific event (scene recall or effect library recall) to
each Program Change number, so that when this event is executed on the QL console, a
Program Change message of the corresponding number will be transmitted to an external
device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change
message is received from an external device.
NOTE
Assignments to program numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than
for individual scenes.

When you execute a specific event on a QL series console, the Program Change of the
corresponding program number will be transmitted on the MIDI channel shown in the
list. (If an event is assigned to more than one program number on multiple MIDI
channels/multiple program numbers, only the lowest-numbered program number on
each MIDI channel will be transmitted.)
• Single mode (when the SINGLE button is on):
Only Program Changes of the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channels specified in the
MIDI SETUP page will be transmitted and received. When a program change on the Rx
channel is received, the event assigned to that program number of the corresponding
channel in the list will be executed.
When you execute a specific event on a QL series console, the Program Change of the
corresponding program number will be transmitted on the Tx channel shown in the list.
(If an event is assigned to more than one program number on the same channel, the
lowest-numbered program number will be transmitted.)
• When the OMNI button is on in SINGLE mode
Program changes of all MIDI channels will be received. However, regardless of the MIDI
channel that is received, the event assigned to the corresponding program number of
the Rx channel will be executed. Turning on the OMNI button will not change the
operation for Program Change transmission.
• When the BANK button is on in SINGLE mode
The CH indication in the list will change to BANK (bank number), and Bank Select
(Control Change #0, #32) and Program Change messages can be transmitted and
received. This can be convenient if you want to control more than 128 events on a single
MIDI channel.
When Bank Select and then Program Change messages (in that order) are received on
the Rx channel, the event assigned to that bank number and program number in the
list will be executed.
When you execute a specific event on the QL series console, bank select + program
change messages for the bank number and program number assigned to that event will
be transmitted on the Tx channel. (If the same event is assigned more than once in the
list, the lowest-numbered bank number and program number will be transmitted.)
NOTE
• The settings of the OMNI and BANK buttons are ignored in Multi mode.
• If the BANK button is on and only a Program Change on an applicable MIDI channel is received,
the last-selected bank number will be used.
• If the BANK button is on, the OMNI button can also be turned on at the same time. In this case,
Bank Select and Program Change messages of all MIDI channels will be received.

Using control changes to control parameters
You can use MIDI Control Change messages to control specified events (fader/knob
operations, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the QL series console. This capability can be
used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and
play back this data later.
You can use Control Changes to control events in either of the following two ways.
Using Control Changes
This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can
freely assign an event to each control number.
Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)
This method uses a special type of Control Change messages called NRPN.
NRPN uses Control Change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte)
and LSB (Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted
Control Change messages of Control Change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of
that parameter.
The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be
changed.
NOTE
For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual).

operations, system and user settings, etc.) as an alternative to using Control Changes or
NRPN messages.
For details on the Parameter Changes that can be transmitted and received, refer to “MIDI
Data Format” in the QL Data List (End of Manual).
NOTE
• Parameter changes include a “device number” that specifies the transmitting or receiving device.
The transmit (Tx) channel and receive (Rx) channel specified on the MIDI SETUP page are used
as the device number.
• Please be aware that if the device number included in the transmitted Parameter Change does
not match the device number of the receiving QL console, the message will be ignored.
• Do not turn Parameter Change and Control Change transmission/reception on at the same time.
Otherwise, a large amount of data will flood the MIDI port and may cause overflows or other
problems.

This chapter explains the functionality and operation of the recorder.
About the USB memory recorder
The QL series console features a USB memory recorder function that lets you easily record
internal audio signals to a USB flash drive, or play back audio files recorded on a USB flash
drive.
As the file format for recording, the QL series console supports MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3).
For playback, it supports MP3 as well as WMA (Windows Media Audio) and AAC (MPEG-4
AAC) files. However, DRM (Digital Rights Management) is not supported.
By using the USB memory recorder, the output from the STEREO bus or a MIX bus can be
recorded to a USB flash drive, or background music or sound effects saved on the USB flash
drive can be played back via an assigned input channel.
Signal flow for the USB memory recorder
* QL1: INPUT1-32
NOTE
• Recording and playback cannot be done simultaneously.
• The signal being recorded cannot be input to an INPUT channel.
Assigning channels to the input/output of the
recorder
Follow the steps below to patch the desired channels to the input and output of the USB
memory recorder. You can patch any desired output channel or the direct output of an INPUT
channel to the recorder input, and you can patch the recorder output to any desired input
channel.
NOTE
• The USB memory recorder always records and plays back in stereo. If you want to record in
monaural, with the same signal for left and right, you must assign both of the recorder inputs to
the same channel.
• You can patch multiple channels to the recorder output.
• In steps 4 and 8, if you select a channel to which another port is already patched, a dialog box
will ask you to confirm the patch change. Press the OK button in the dialog box.
• In the case of QL1, channels that do not exist on the model will not be shown.

Recording or playing back using a computer DAW
If you plan to add DAW software, such as Steinberg Nuendo, to an audio network that includes
a QL console, you must use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) software. DVS works as an audio
interface, making it possible to transmit signals between a DAW and an audio network (that
includes a QL series console and I/O devices). In this way, you will be able to make multi-track
recordings of live performances or use live recordings that were made a day earlier for a
virtual sound check.
This section explains the steps required when adding DAW software to an audio network.
Required devices and software
•QL series
• A computer (Windows or Mac) equipped with an Ethernet port that supports a Giga-bit
Ethernet (GbE) network; DAW software
• A GbE-compatible network switch
•CAT5e cable
• Dante Virtual Soundcard driver software or Dante Accelerator card
• Dante Controller control software
NOTE
• You must have a license ID to use Dante Virtual Soundcard. A sheet with the DVS token needed
to acquire the license ID is included in the QL unit package.
• The latest information about the Dante Virtual Soundcard and the Dante Controller is available at
the following website:

Word clock settings
In a Dante network, the master device supplies accurate word clock to other devices on the
network. If the master device is removed from the network or breaks down, another device
will automatically take over as the clock master.
To make this setting, in the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button, then the WORD
CLOCK/SLOT button to access the WORD CLOCK/SLOT window.
Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard
Install Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and
Dante Controller in the computer that you
want to use for audio recording.
Make the following settings before turning
DVS on.
• Connect the GbE-compatible network port
of the computer to a GbE-compatible
network switch.
• Configure the computer to obtain an IP
address automatically
(this is the default setting).
• Set the audio format.
(Example: 48kHz, 24 bit)
• Set the Dante latency. (Use a high setting to ensure stability when using multiple channels.)
• In the Advanced settings, select the number of channels to be used for recording and
playback (the default is 8 x 8).
NOTE
Please refer to the Dante Virtual Soundcard User’s Guide for more information on ASIO settings
(Windows).
Dante Accelerator settings
After mounting a Dante Accelerator card on the computer, install the Dante Accelerator Driver
and make the following settings. For information about how to install the driver, refer to the
Installation Guide included with the driver.
• Use a network cable to connect the Dante jack on the Dante Accelerator card to the Dante
network, and then connect the computer’s network port to the same network.
• Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting).
NOTE
For more information about selecting a computer for remote control from a QL series console,
refer to “When setup method selection button = SPECIFIED IP ADDRESS” in “Specifying DVS
or Dante Accelerator” on page 157.
Recorder
Reference Manual
154
Setting up Dante Controller
Connect the network port of the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the
computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting).
The following settings can be made via Dante Controller.
• For multi-track recording, patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS or DANTE-
ACCEL.
• For virtual sound check: Patch audio signals in such a way that they will be output from the
computer to the Dante audio network, then routed to the channels on the QL console
(page 127).
The following example shows Dante Controller settings for when channels 1–16 of an I/O
device are patched to DVS.
In this case, you’ll need to switch the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings of the QL series console
depending on whether you’re performing multitrack recording or multitrack playback. If you’ve
saved these different sets of settings in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY (page 128),
you’ll be able to switch between them conveniently.
NOTE
Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings
of the Dante Controller.
Setting up DAW software
You must make driver settings in your DAW software. In the device setting window, select
“Dante Virtual Soundcard-ASIO” (for a Windows PC) or “Dante” (for Mac) as the sound card
(or audio driver) used for input/output.
Some DAW software may require internal patching for the driver and the DAW software. For
more information, refer to the DAW software manual.
Setting up Nuendo Live
When you start up Nuendo Live and create a new project, tracks corresponding to the number
of channels specified in DVS will be created automatically, and the channel names and colors
from the QL series console will automatically be assigned as each track name.
Make the following settings in Nuendo Live.
• Settings button ➞ Audio System, and select DVS or Dante Accelerator as the driver.
Audio recording and playback
After you have made driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back
audio.
For multi-track recording, set the input ports for the tracks of the DAW software to the ports
that receive audio signals from the I/O devices.
For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the
QL console. To do so, patch the signals so that they will be output from the DAW software to
DANTE 1–64 on the QL console (DANTE 1–32 for the QL1). It may be convenient for you later
if you store two sets of the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings in the library: one set for routing
audio signals from the I/O devices, and another set for routing audio signals from DAW
software. In this way, you will be able to switch between patch settings without starting Dante
Controller. In addition, you will be able to patch a specific channel (such as a vocal) to the
I/O device to monitor during a virtual sound check.

operations of other users, you must specify an Administrator password.
NOTE
• The password can be up to eight characters. If the two passwords that were entered match, the
Administrator password will be set.
• For details on entering a password, refer to “Assigning a name” in the separate Owner’s Manual.
Creating a user authentication key
You can create a user authentication key and save it on a USB flash drive or in the console’s
internal memory. A user authentication key can be created only by an Administrator or Power
User. The user level is specified when the authentication key is created, but USER SETUP
settings other than the user level (such as preferences and the USER DEFINED keys) will be
carried over from the user who is currently logged-in.
NOTE
• You can store ten keys in the console’s internal memory.
• The file name of the user authentication key will be the current user name, and it will be created
and saved in the root directory.

Custom fader bank settings for individual scenes
Custom fader bank settings can be stored/recalled for individual scenes. For details, refer to
“Using the Focus Recall function” on page 80.
NOTE
• Custom fader bank settings differ between models, and are not compatible. For example, scenes
stored by the QL5 cannot be recalled on the QL1.
• In addition, the user level affects storing/recalling of custom fader bank settings. For example, if
you are logged-in as a user or Guest, you cannot recall settings stored by the Administrator.
Console Lock
You can temporarily prohibit console operations in order to prevent unwanted operation. This
setting disables operations of the panel, so that controllers cannot be operated by an
accidental touch or by an unauthorized third party while the operator is taking a break.
If a password is set for the currently logged-in user, that password will be used for the Console
Lock function. When the Console Lock function is enabled, the CONSOLE LOCK screen will
appear and all controllers will become inoperable.
NOTE
• If you have forgotten the password, refer to “Initializing the unit to factory default settings” on
page 210.
• The Guest cannot set a password.
• Even while the console is locked, you can operate the console from an external device via MIDI
or QL Editor as usual.

Recovery procedure
After removing the cause of the overcurrent at the USB port, press the location that shows
“USB REMOUNT” at the FORMAT button of the SAVE/LOAD window.
Word clock and slot settings
“Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal
processing. To send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must
be synchronized to the same word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an
unsynchronized state, the data may not be transmitted or received correctly, and noise may
be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are the same.
Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the
entire system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock
slaves) so that they synchronize to the word clock master.
If you wish to use the QL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word
clock supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the
port through which the word clock is obtained).
This section explains how to select the clock source that the QL series console will use.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button.
2. In the SYSTEM SETUP field of the SETUP screen, press the WORD CLOCK/SLOT
button.
3. In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field of the WORD CLOCK/SLOT window, select a
clock source.

NOTE
• If sample rate pull-up/down has been specified in the Dante
Controller application, this area indicates the change in the
sample rate as a percentage, such as –4.0%, –0.1%, +4.0%,
4.1667%, etc.
• To change the master clock when sample rate pull-up/down has
been specified, disable the pull-up/down in the Dante Controller, change the master clock, then
specify pull-up/down again.
2 Master clock select buttons
Use the buttons to select the clock source that you want to use as the word clock master
from the following options:
• INT 48 k
• INT 44.1 k
The QL console internal clock (sampling rate 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz) will be the clock
source.
• WORD CLOCK IN
The word clock supplied from the WORD CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the console
will be used as the clock source.
• DANTE 48k
• DANTE 44.1k
The word clock supplied from the Dante jack on the rear panel of the console will be
used as the clock source.
•SLOT 1–2
The word clock supplied via a digital I/O card installed in a console slot will be used as
the clock source. Word clock can be selected in pairs for each slot.
3 Clock status display
Indicates the status of synchronization with the master clock for each clock source. Each
indicator is explained below:
• LOCKED (light blue)
Indicates that a clock synchronized with the selected clock source is being input. If an
external device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is
occurring properly between that device and the QL series console. If the sampling
frequency is close, this status may be displayed even if not synchronized.
• LOCKED, BUT NOT SYNC’ED (yellow)
A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the selected clock source. If an
external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot
occur correctly between that device and the QL series console.
• SRC ON (green)
This is a special status that applies only to SLOT1–2, indicating that the corresponding
channel’s SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is enabled. This means that even if the signal
is not synchronized, normal input/output with the QL series console is occurring.
• UNLOCKED (red)
A valid clock is not being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding
connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the QL series
console.
• UNKNOWN (black)
This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is
connected or because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this
connector/slot, but successful synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is
established.
NOTE
• If the indicator for the selected clock does not turn light blue, make sure that the external device
is correctly connected, and that the external device is set to transmit clock data.
• Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. To protect your
speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp volume before changing the word clock
setting.
• If you attempt to select a channel (for which SRC is on) as the word clock source, a message will
appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled.

Using cascade connections
Using multiple QL series consoles, or a QL console and an external mixing console (such as
a Yamaha PM5D) in a cascade connection enables buses to be shared among the devices.
This can be convenient if you want to use an external mixer to increase the number of inputs.
This section explains cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two QL
units are connected in a cascade configuration.
About cascade connections
To cascade two QL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate
slots, and connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports
of the receiving unit (the cascade master).
The following illustration shows an example in which two eight-channel digital I/O cards for
each unit are installed in the cascade slave QL unit and in the cascade master QL unit. The
DIGITAL OUT jacks of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving
unit.
In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1–16, MATRIX bus 1–8,
STEREO bus (L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals
transmitted from the cascade master QL unit. (If you use two 16-channel digital I/O cards, all
buses can be shared among the devices.) When the required settings are made for the
cascade slave and for the cascade master, the bus signals of the cascade slave will be sent
via the slot to the buses of the cascade master, and the combined signals of both buses will
be output from the cascade master. If the Cascade Link function is enabled, the specified
operations or parameter changes performed on either QL series console will be followed by
the other QL console.
You must specify bus assignments for each slot or channel on each QL unit. Separate

NOTE
• If you are making a cascade connection between the QL unit and the PM5D, you can use the QL
unit as the cascade slave by setting the PM5D’s CASCADE IN PORT SELECT to a slot. However,
only the audio signals will be cascaded, and the control signals cannot be linked.
• You can also use an AD/DA card or OMNI OUT jack to make cascade connections with an analog
mixer.
• There is no limit to the number of units that can be cascade-connected, but the signal delay at
the cascade slave will increase in accordance with the number of units from the cascade master.

Use these select buttons when using Dante Controller to make Dante patch settings.
If the THIS CONSOLE button is selected, the DANTE INPUT PATCH and DANTE OUTPUT
PATCH settings can be edited from the QL series console.
If the DANTE CONTROLLER button is selected, it will not be possible to edit the Dante
patch settings. You can operate these buttons regardless of the state of the DANTE
PATCH BY select buttons on other QL series consoles on the network.
NOTE
• Settings that are shared with the I/O device (BIT/LATENCY/W.CLOCK) will reflect the settings of
the QL series console whose CONSOLE ID is set to #1.
• If the DANTE CONTROLLER button is selected in the DANTE PATCH BY section, and you
attempt to edit the Dante patching or related settings, the message “This Operation is Not
Allowed” will appear at the bottom of the screen.

Switching the CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT
DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page)
The button you switched is shown in red.
When the Dante audio network settings have been applied, the button you selected will return
to its original appearance.
NOTE
• If you change the SECONDARY PORT, you must also change the method of connection between
the QL series console and the I/O devices. For example if the connections used for the
REDUNDANT setting are left as they are when you change the setting to DAISY CHAIN, it will
become impossible to send and receive audio. Be sure to disconnect the cables before you
change the setting.
• The CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT settings will not be changed even if you initialize the
QL series console.
• When the CONSOLE ID is OFF or is set to 2, 3, or 4 for a QL series console, the console’s BIT/
LATENCY will not change even if the BIT/LATENCY is changed in the DANTE SETUP window
for the QL series console within a network for which the CONSOLE ID is set to 1.
• When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, the DANTE PATCH BY field is fixed to “DANTE
CONTROLLER.” Also, patching cannot be changed in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window.
• When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, all the mounted devices will be “virtual.”
You can edit HA GAIN and other settings for Rio series units, but the changes will not apply to
device settings. This is the same as when the devices are not connected. Therefore, level control
and other settings do not affect other devices.
Setting the Dante audio network latency
An appropriate latency setting for signals sent and received via a Dante audio network varies
depending on the network connection method and size. This section explains how to set an
appropriate latency setting depending on the connection method of Dante-enabled devices
that are connected to the QL series console.
Relationship between the switches and the number of hops
An appropriate latency setting on a Dante audio network varies depending on the number of
hops in the network.
One hop is the step from one router (switch) to the next. You count the number of hops starting
from the master device to the most distant device (assuming that all devices are connected in
series).
Switches mean network switches and routers, as well as the switches that are built into QL
series consoles and I/O devices. Set the latency value based on the number of hops. The
following table shows typical latency settings based on the number of hops.
NOTE
• Depending on network conditions, you may want to raise the latency value even if the number of
hops is small.
• If a problem occurs, select 5.0 ms so that you will be able to identify whether the latency setting
is the cause of the problem.
STEP
1. In the DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page), select the CONSOLE ID and the
SECONDARY PORT.
2. Press the APPLY button.
3. In the window to confirm the change, press the OK button.

NOTE
• If there is one I/O device, set the I/O device’s UNIT ID to “1.”
• If multiple devices are connected, assign the ID numbers so that there is no conflict between
devices.
• For devices other than the R series, it is possible for devices of differing models to be assigned
to the same ID as an Rio series unit or the same ID as a different model of device. However, since
the I/O device input/output port screen shows the UNIT ID, this will make it difficult to distinguish
between the units, so we recommend that whenever possible, you avoid allowing the ID numbers
to overlap.
• If you have a device whose UNIT ID or device label cannot be changed from its panel or its edit
screen etc. (such as the Dante-MY16-AUD card or Dante Accelerator), and you want to use that
device as a SUPPORTED DEVICE, you must change its device label via Dante Controller.
• An I/O device will be recognized as a SUPPORTED DEVICE if you assign the device label as
follows.
Y###-**********
# is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0
–9 and uppercase A–F (000–FFF)
* indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or - (hyphen)
may be used)
• If you are controlling the QL series console from an Rio series unit, we recommend that you set
the Rio unit’s START UP MODE to “REFRESH.” Operation will be safer with the “REFRESH”
setting, since mute will be cleared after synchronization has been completed with QL units whose
system setting for REMOTE HA ASSIGN is set to “WITH RECALL.”
With the “RESUME” setting, mute will be cleared and the unit will start operating with the settings
that were backed up by the Rio series unit itself, which could allow unexpected audio to be output.
• A single QL series console can control the HA of up to eight Rio series units.
If nine or more Rio series units are connected, you can either divide the HA control between
multiple QL series consoles, or you can omit specifying REMOTE HA ASSIGN for the Rio series
units whose HA does not need to be controlled, and use them with START UP MODE set to
“RESUME.”

Using GPI (General Purpose Interface)
The rear panel GPI (General Purpose Interface) connector can be used as an input/output
connector. This connector provides five GPI IN ports and five GPI OUT ports. For example
you can use an external switch to control internal parameters of the QL series console or to
switch scenes. Conversely, operations or scene changes performed on the QL series console
can send control signals to an external device.
For details on how to send control signals to an external device when you switch scenes, refer
to “Outputting a control signal to an external device in tandem with scene recall (GPI OUT)”
on page 83.
Using GPI IN
You can use the GPI IN ports of the GPI connector to control the parameters of the QL series
console from an external device. For example, you could use an external switch to turn the
QL series console’s Talkback on/off, operate the Tap Tempo function, or switch scenes.

4 THRESHOLD field
• UPSTROKE/DOWNSTROKE knobs
These specify the level that will be the threshold for outputting a trigger signal. A trigger
signal will be output when the fader exceeds the UPSTROKE level, or when the fader falls
below the DOWNSTROKE level. You can use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to operate
these parameters.
NOTE
• The THRESHOLD values specified by the UPSTROKE/DOWNSTROKE knobs are common to all
GPI OUT ports. However, you can individually choose the channel (fader) for each GPI OUT port.
• Only the UPSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER START, and only the
DOWNSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER STOP. If MODE is set to FADER
TALLY, both the UPSTROKE and DOWNSTROKE values will be valid.
5 MODE field
Here you can select the mode of fader operation that will be the trigger for signal output
from the GPI OUT port. You can choose from the following fader modes.
•NO ASSIGN
Operating the fader of the selected channel will not cause a signal to be output.
• FADER START
A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel
moves upward through the specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a
point below it.
• FADER STOP
A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel
reaches the specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to 9.95 dB).
• FADER TALLY
A trigger signal will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves upward
through the specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a point below it. This
signal will be held until the fader reaches the specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to
9.95 dB) or until that GPI OUT port receives a different trigger.
The following illustration shows how the signal that is output from the GPI PORT will change
in each fader mode when a fader is operated. In this example, UPSTROKE in the
THRESHOLD field is set to –60.00, and DOWNSTROKE is set to –∞. (This illustration shows
the case in which
is selected as the polarity of the GPI OUT port. If the polarity is , the
polarity of the output signal will be reversed.)
NOTE
At the high level, the output signal of the port will be open. If the receiving device requires high
level, take it from the +5V power supply pin. However in this case, the amount of current is limited;
for details, refer to “Control I/O specifications” on the QL Data List (End of Manual).

COMPRESSOR
The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified
RATIO.
The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the
level to the threshold. This means that the limiter’s output level never actually exceeds the
threshold.
EXPANDER
An expander attenuates signals below a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO.
Parameter Range Description
THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points)
This determines the level of input signal required to
trigger the compressor.

COMPANDER HARD (COMPANDER-H), COMPANDER SOFT
(COMPANDER-S)
The hard and soft companders combine the effects of the compressor, expander and limiter.
The companders function differently at the following levels:
1 0 dB and higher ..................................Functions as a limiter.
2 Exceeding the threshold ....................Functions as a compressor.
3 Below the threshold and width ..........Functions as an expander.
The hard compander has an expansion ratio of 5:1, while the soft compander has an
expansion ratio of 1.5:1. The expander is essentially turned off when the width is set to
maximum. The compressor has a fixed knee setting of 2.
* The gain is automatically adjusted according to the ratio and threshold values, and can be increased by up to 18 dB.
* The OUT GAIN parameter enables you to compensate for the overall level change caused by the compression and
expansion processes.
DE-ESSER
This detects and compresses only the sibilants and other high-frequency consonants of the
vocal.

MIDI Data Format
This section explains the format of the data that the QL series
is able to understand, send, and receive.
1 CHANNEL MESSAGE
1.1 NOTE OFF (8n)
Reception
These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER COMMAND ECHO] is ON.
They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.
1.2 NOTE ON (9n)
Reception
These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER COMMAND ECHO] is ON.
They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.
1.3 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn)
Two types of CONTROL CHANGE can be transmitted and received; [NRPN]
(Non-Registered Parameter Numbers) and freely-assigned [TABLE] (1CH x 110)
messages. Select either [TABLE] or [NRPN].
Reception
These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [CONTROL CHANGE ECHO] is ON.
If [TABLE] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx]
is ON and [Rx CH] matches, and will control parameters according to the settings
of the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST]. For the parameters that can be
assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes”
(page 22).
If [NRPN] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx]
is ON and the [Rx CH] matches; the four messages NRPN control number (62h,
63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are used to control the
specified parameter.
Transmission
If [TABLE] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a
parameter that is assigned in the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST], these
messages will be transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can
be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes”
(page 22).
If [NRPN] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a
specified parameter, the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and
DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel.
For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be
assigned to control changes” (page 22).
CONTROL CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to QL Editor because
there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match.
(PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.)
CONTROL CHANGE numbers 0 and 32 are for selecting banks.
If [TABLE] is selected
Equation for converting a Control Value to parameter data
paramSteps = paramMax – paramMin + 1;
add = paramWidth / paramSteps;
mod = paramWidth – add * paramSteps;
curValue = paramSteps * add + mod / 2;
(1) If the assigned parameter has fewer than 128 steps
paramWidth = 128; rxValue = Control value;
(2) If the assigned parameter has 128 or more but less than 16,384 steps
paramWidth = 16384;
(2-1) When High and Low data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + Control value(Low);
(2-2) When only Low data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(Low);
(2-3) When only High data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + (curValue & 127);
(3) If the assigned parameter has 16,384 or more but less than 2,097,152
steps
paramWidth = 2097152;
(3-1) When High, Middle, and Low data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low);
(3-2) When only Low data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 2097024) + Control value(Low);
(3-3) When only Middle data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 2080895) + Control value(Middle) * 128;
(3-4) When only High data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 16383) + Control value(High) * 16384;
(3-5) When only Middle and Low data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 2080768) + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low);
(3-6) When only High and Low data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Low);
(3-7) When only High and Middle data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 127) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle) * 128;
if ( rxValue > paramWidth)
rxValue = paramWidth;
param = ( rxValue – mod / 2) / add;
If [NRPN] is selected
1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn)
Reception
If [PROGRAM CHANGE ECHO] is ON, bank select messages will also be echoed
from MIDI OUT.
If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are received if [PROGRAM CHANGE Rx]
is ON and the [Rx CH] matches. However if [OMNI] is ON, these messages are
received regardless of the channel. When these messages are received, scene
memory, effect library and premium rack library are recalled according to the
settings of the [PROGRAM CHANGE EVENT LIST].
Transmission
If [PROGRAM CHANGE Tx] is ON, these messages are transmitted according to
the [PROGRAM CHANGE Table] settings when scene memory, effect library and
premium rack library are recalled.
If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel.
If the recalled scene memory, effect library and premium rack library have been
assigned to more than one PROGRAM NUMBER, the lowest-numbered
PROGRAM NUMBER for each MIDI channel will be transmitted.
PROGRAM CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to QL Editor because
there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match.
(PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.)
You can choose either MULTI MIDI CH or SINGLE CH.
If SINGLE is selected
You can choose the Rx CH, OMNI CH, and Tx CH.
You can choose whether a bank select message will be added.
A bank of up to 16 can be specified.
If MULTI is selected
The Rx and Tx channels will be the same.
The assignment table will use the settings for each MIDI channel. Bank select
messages will not be added.
You can make settings for up to sixteen MIDI channels.

The unique header (Model ID) identifies whether the device is a QL series.
To calculate the check sum, add the bytes starting with the byte after BYTE
COUNT (LOW) and ending with the byte before CHECK SUM, take the binary
complement, and set bit 7 to 0.
CHECK SUM = (-sum)&0x7F
Bulk Dumps can be received at any time, and can be transmitted at any time
when a Bulk Dump Request is received.
A Bulk Dump is transmitted on the [Rx CH] channel in response to a Bulk Dump
Request.
In the data portion, seven words of 8-bit data are converted into eight words of

3.3 PARAMETER CHANGE
Reception
This message is echoed if [PARAMETER CHANGE ECHO] is ON.
This message is received if [PARAMETER CHANGE Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches
the Device number included in the SUB STATUS. When a PARAMETER CHANGE is
received, the specified parameter will be controlled. When a PARAMETER
REQUEST is received, the current value of the specified parameter will be
transmitted as a PARAMETER CHANGE with its Device Number as the [Rx CH].
Transmission
If [PARAMETER CHANGE Tx] is ON, and you edit a parameter for which
CONTROL CHANGE transmission has not been enabled, a PARAMETER CHANGE
will be transmitted with the [Tx CH] as its device number.
In response to a PARAMETER REQUEST, a PARAMETER CHANGE will be
transmitted with [Rx CH] as its device number.

This chapter explains various operations for input channels. • 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer) A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW. Signal flow for input channels • DYNAMICS 1 This is a dynamics processor that can be used for gating, ducking, expander, or compressor. The input channels comprise the section that processes signals received from the I/O devices, rear panel input jacks, or slots 1–2, and sends them to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, MIX buses, or MATRIX buses. There are two types of input channels, as follows. • DYNAMICS 2 This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, compander, or de-esser. • INPUT DELAY Corrects input signal delay. You can specify up to 1000ms. INPUT channel (monaural) • LEVEL/DCA 1–16 Adjusts the input level of the effect. These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the QL series console is in the default state, the signal from the analog input connector is assigned. • ON (On/off) Turns the input channel on or off. If this is off, the corresponding channel will be muted. ST IN channel (stereo) • PAN Adjusts the panning of signals sent from the input channel to the STEREO bus. For the ST IN channel (stereo), you can switch between PAN and BALANCE. The BALANCE parameter adjusts the volume balance of the left/right signals sent from the ST IN channel (stereo) to the STEREO bus. You can turn on PAN LINK in the BUS SETUP window so that the setting of the PAN parameter will also be applied to signals sent to two MIX or MATRIX buses that are set to stereo. These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the QL series console is in the default state, the input signals from EFFECT RACKS 5–8 are assigned to ST IN 1–4. There are no assignments for ST IN 5–8.

If the Gain Compensation function is turned on, an indicator will appear, showing the position of the analog gain when the function is turned on. 29 Reference Manual Input channels Sending the signal from an input channel to the STEREO/MONO bus Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain Compensation is on If Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the I/O device to output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount. Therefore, the signals on the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the digital domain. For example, assume that the analog gain value has been set to +30 dB and Gain Compensation is now turned on. Under this condition, if you raise the analog gain value to +45 dB, the level of the signal sent to the audio network will stay at +30 dB (that is, attenuated by –15 dB). The STEREO bus and MONO bus are used to send signals to the main speakers. There are two ways to send signals to the STEREO bus or MONO bus: ST/MONO mode and LCR mode. You can select the mode individually for each channel. These two modes differ as follows. ST/MONO mode This mode sends signals from the input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus independently. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus can be switched on or off individually. • The panning of a signal sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus L/R is controlled by the TO ST PAN knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.) • The left/right volume balance of a signal sent from an ST IN channel to the STEREO bus is controlled by this knob. If PAN/BALANCE mode is set to PAN, you will be able to adjust the pan position of signals sent to the STEREO bus L/R individually (page 31). If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing one I/O device, adjusting the analog gain on the FOH console will not affect the input level on the monitoring console. The signal in the audio network is maintained at a constant level, and therefore increasing the analog gain as much as possible will lower the relative noise floor and improve the S/N ratio. The gain of each signal input to the QL series unit will be adjusted by the digital gain parameter of the QL series console. However, please note that if the signal is distorted due to a high level of analog gain, you must first turn the Gain Compensation function off, set the gain to an appropriate input level, and then turn the function back on. If you try to lower the analog gain level while the Gain Compensation function is on, the signal on the audio network will be amplified by the same amount due to the Gain Compensation function, and the signal will remain distorted. LCR mode This mode sends input channel signals to three buses (STEREO (L/R) and MONO (C)) simultaneously. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and MONO bus will be switched on or off collectively. • The CSR (Center Side Ratio) knob specifies the level ratio between signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and to the MONO (C) bus. • The TO ST PAN knob/BALANCE knob specifies the level of signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and MONO (C) bus. NOTE You can perform this operation rapidly if you’ve assigned Gain Compensation on/off as the SET BY SEL function to one of the USER DEFINED keys. NOTE If you want to monitor the signal of the STEREO bus or MONO bus through headphones or similar devices, press the MONITOR button in the Function Access Area to select “LCR” as the monitor source before you continue with the following procedure. 30 Reference Manual Input channels TO STEREO/MONO window (8ch) STEP 1.

The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window. The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to external effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or to a backstage monitoring system. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following ways. If the MIX bus is a FIXED type Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section With this method, you use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MIX/ MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/ MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively. A gray circle is displayed instead of the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot adjust the send level. Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode) For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus With this method, you switch the QL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses.

When you press this button the keyboard window will appear, allowing you to enter or edit the text. 59 DCA/MUTE field Reference Manual Channel Job Using mute groups NOTE The USER SETUP window enables you to limit available functionality by user, and also to make system-wide settings. This window includes several pages, which you can switch between using the tabs located at the bottom of the window. To control mute groups, you can use the MUTE GROUP MASTER buttons in the MUTE GROUP ASSIGN window. In addition, it may prove convenient if you assign the Mute On/Off function for a mute group 1–8 to a USER DEFINED key. Turning mute groups on/off with USER DEFINED keys Assigning mute groups to USER DEFINED keys To mute a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key to which you have assigned the Mute On/Off function. The LED of the USER DEFINED key will light, and all channels that belong to the selected mute group will be muted. At this time, the [ON] keys of the muted channels will blink. You can turn on multiple USER DEFINED keys to mute multiple mute groups. To defeat muting for a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key that you lit. STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button. 2. Press the USER SETUP button in the upper left of the SETUP screen. 3. Press the USER DEFINED KEYS tab in the USER SETUP window. 4. Press the button for the USER DEFINED key to which you want to assign the Mute On/Off function. 5. Choose “MUTE MASTER” in the FUNCTION column, and choose “MUTE GROUP x” (where “x” is the mute group number) in the PARAMETER 1 column. 6. When you press the OK button, the Mute On/Off function will be assigned to the USER DEFINED key that you selected in step 4. NOTE Even if a channel is assigned to a mute group, it will not be affected by operations of the USER DEFINED key if the [ON] key for that channel is already turned off to begin with. Using the Mute Safe function Specific channels that belong to a mute group can be temporarily excluded from mute group operations (Mute Safe). Channels that are set to Mute Safe will not be affected when you mute a mute group to which that channel belongs. STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button. 2. Press the MUTE GROUP button in the CH JOB menu. 3. Press the MUTE SAFE button in the DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE window. 4. Press a [SEL] key for the channel(s) you want to exclude from mute groups (multiple selections are allowed). SETUP screen USER SETUP window CH JOB menu DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE window USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window 60 Reference Manual Channel Job NOTE NOTE The [SEL] key of the channel set for Mute Safe will light, and the on-screen fader for that channel will be highlighted in green. You can cancel the Mute Safe status by pressing a lit [SEL] key once again to make it go dark. • Simply selecting a parameter in step 4 does not enable Recall Safe. To turn Recall Safe on or off, you must also perform the operation described in step 5. • Bus settings are not subject to Recall Safe. They will always be reproduced in the recalled scene. This means that if Recall Safe is enabled for one of several channels included in a link group or one of two channels set to stereo, the parameter settings of that channel may differ from those of the other channel(s). In such cases, the applicable parameter will be automatically re-linked the next time it is operated. You can globally apply Recall Safe to channel links by using the global parameter. • You can use the Recall Safe function along with the Focus Recall function (page 80). Channels or parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be recalled. • If you hold down the [SEL] key while performing a recall operation, all parameters of that channel will be treated as Recall Safe regardless of the state of the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT selections. Temporarily disabling the Mute function Mute can be temporarily disabled by turning on the [ON] key; and resumed by turning it off, when you mute one of the mute groups to which that channel belongs. However, this mute control by turning on/off the [ON] key is disabled in the PREVIEW mode. Using the Recall Safe function “Recall Safe” is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channels (DCA groups) from Recall operations. Unlike the Focus Recall function (page 80), which you can apply to individual scenes, the Recall Safe settings are globally applied to all scenes. RECALL SAFE MODE window 2 STEP 1.

However, the front panel PHONES jack will always output the cue signal regardless of the Monitor on/off setting. See “Using the Monitor function” on page 88 for details about the Monitor function. On-screen CUE button NOTE You cannot turn on cue monitoring between different groups simultaneously. Normally, the group to which the most recently-pressed [CUE] key (or on-screen CUE/KEY IN CUE button) belongs will take priority, and the [CUE] keys for the previously-selected group will be defeated. However, if you have switched the cue signal group in a specific order when the CUE MODE setting is MIX CUE, the state of the [CUE] keys for the previously-selected group will be restored when the current cue signal is defeated. The right illustration shows the priority order of the [CUE] keys. After you Other CUE group have switched groups from lower to upper levels, if you then defeat cue for the upper group, the previous [CUE] INPUT CUE group key status of the group immediately below will be restored. DCA CUE group For example, if you switch groups in the order of OUTPUT CUE group DCA CUE group INPUT CUE group OUTPUT CUE group Other CUE group, you can then successively defeat the [CUE] keys (CUE/KEY IN CUE buttons) to successively restore the [CUE] key status of the previously-selected group.

For details, refer to “I/O devices and external head amps” on page 127. This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack. About the virtual rack Virtual rack operations QL series consoles enable you to use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as “GEQ”) and effects/processors to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ: 31BandGEQ which enables you to freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which enables you to adjust any fifteen of thirty-one bands. You can use the 16ch Automixer or the 8ch Automixer. You can also use 54 different effect types. The QL series consoles feature Premium Rack, which employs VCM technology. This technology models analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. The Premium Rack offers six types of processors. In order to use a GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack, you must mount the GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack in each virtual rack, and patch the input and output of that rack to the desired signal route. In other words, the operation is just as though you had installed a signal processor or effect device in an actual rack, and used patch cords to connect it. You can mount a GEQ instance in each of the eight racks 1-8, an effect rack instance in each of the eight racks 1-8, and a Premium Rack instance in each of the eight racks 1-8. Up to two channels of input and output can be used for each rack. (However if the “31BandGEQ” is mounted in a rack, there will be only one channel each for input and output.) The figure below shows the signal flow for the virtual racks. This section explains how to mount a GEQ or effect in the virtual rack, and patch the input and output of the rack as an example.

The actual values are shown in the numerical boxes below. You will use the Channel Strip section’s faders 1–8 and [ON] keys to control the 31BandGEQ. 3 FADER ASSIGN field STEP 1. In the GEQ field or the EFFECT field rack, press the rack container in which you mounted the 31BandGEQ. 2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the 31BandGEQ on. 3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you will control. 4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band. 5. When you’ve finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to select the group of bands that will be controlled. The buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field correspond to the following groups of bands (QL1 only). 20-630 16 bands 20 Hz–630 Hz 125-4k 16 bands 125 Hz–4 kHz 630-20k 16 bands 630 Hz–20 kHz When you press one of these buttons, the faders for the bands selected on screen will turn white, and the numbers of the corresponding faders in the Channel Strip section will be displayed. Now you can use the faders in the Channel Strip section to control the band. NOTE • When a fader in the Channel Strip section is set to the center (flat) position, the corresponding [ON] key indicator will turn off. This indicates that the corresponding band is not being modified. If you raise or lower the fader even the slightest amount, the [ON] key will light, indicating that this band has been modified. If you press a lit [ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band will immediately return to the flat state. If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown. • If you switch the display to a different screen or rack, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip section will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders. • When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off. 4 Tool buttons Copy the currently-displayed 31BandGEQ settings to the GEQ of another rack, or initialize the settings. For details on how to use the tool buttons, refer to “Using the tool buttons” in the separate Owner’s Manual. NOTE • Only 31BandGEQ settings that use fifteen bands or less can be copied to a Flex15GEQ. • GEQ settings can be stored and recalled at any time using the dedicated library. Using the Flex15GEQ GEQ EDIT window (31BandGEQ) You will use the Channel Strip section’s faders and [ON] keys to control the Flex15GEQ. A rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted will show information for two GEQ units (A and B) in the VIRTUAL RACK window. 4 1 NOTE 2 If you mount a Flex15GEQ, two monaural 31BandGEQ units will be placed in a single rack. However, only up to fifteen bands can be adjusted for each unit. 3 1 EQ graph Indicates the approximate response of the current 31BandGEQ. 108 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack About AUTOMIXER STEP 1. Press the rack container in which you mounted Flex15GEQ. 2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the Flex15GEQ on. 3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you will control. 4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band. 5. When you’ve finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field. Automixer is included as a standard feature on the QL series. Automixer searches for enabled mics and automatically optimizes gain distribution, for uses such as speeches without scripts. This allows uniform system gain to be maintained among multiple mics, freeing the engineer from making constant fader adjustments. Automixer operating principle With the Dugan speech system used in Automixer, you can automatically adjust the gain for multiple mics used for speeches. NOTE When 1 person speaks on multiple mics • When a fader in the Channel Strip section is set to the center (flat) position, the corresponding [ON] key indicator will turn off. This indicates that the corresponding band is not being modified. If you raise or lower the fader even the slightest amount, the [ON] key will light, indicating that this band has been modified. If you press a lit [ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band will immediately return to the flat state. If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown. • If you switch the display to a different screen, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip section will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders. • When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off. When 2 people speak on multiple mics Mic input audio (dB) Mic input audio (dB) Gain (dB) in Automix Gain (dB) in Automix GEQ EDIT window (15BandGEQ) When 1 person is speaking, the gain on the mic being used is immediately increased and the gain on all other mics is reduced. The same operation occurs even if another person is speaking. If 2 people are speaking at the same time, gain is automatically distributed so that the total gain is consistent across both mics, and the gain on the remaining mic is reduced. The Dugan speech system functions differently from a limiter or auto level controller. When multiple people are speaking, the engineer mixes the gain for each mic using the faders conventionally. Even if nobody is speaking, the system searches for mic audio and automatically distributes gain. Therefore, faders can leave in their raised positions. This window is the same as that for the 31BandGEQ, except that the AVAILABLE BANDS parameter box indicates the real-time number of additional bands (maximum 15) that can be controlled in the current GEQ. For a rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted, the rack switch tabs will be split as xA and xB (x is the rack number). 109 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Inserting Automixer in channels post-fader Channel control field This section explains how to mount Automixer in a virtual rack, and insert Automixer input and output into channels (excluding ST IN channels) post-fader (POST ON). For details on Automixer operations, refer to the following section “Using Automixer.” Each channel is always in man, auto, or mute mode. The indicator for the enabled channel mode will light. To select a mode, either press the button for that mode or press the PRESET button in the master field. 1 STEP 1. Refer to steps 1–8 in “Virtual rack operations” on page 103 to mount Automixer in rack 1 and set its input source and output destination. 2. Refer to “Inserting an external device into a channel” on page 18 to insert Automixer in post-fader (POST ON field). Using Automixer 2 3 4 5 6 8 7 1 Level indicator Lights green when the audio is at an optimum level for Automix. NOTE • If the level indicator flashes, increase the input gain. • If the level indicator lights up red, reduce the input gain. 2 Meter indicator There are three display modes. Pressing the meters button in the master field will switch modes. Channel display The auto mix gain meter for each channel and man (yellow), auto (green), and mute (red) settings are shown for channels 1–8 and channels 9–16. If you select the channel 1–8 or 9–16 region, the display channel for the channel control field will switch to 1–8 or 9–16. (For 8ch Automixer, only channels 1–8 are shown.) gain Displays the gain for Automixer. Green input Displays the input level. Yellow output Displays the output level. Blue NOTE Meters should normally be set in gain mode. 3 weight Adjusts the correlative sensitivity between input channels. When there is no input, adjust the weight setting so that all auto mix gain meters are at about the same level. Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to change the channel weight settings by adjusting the weight slider. 110 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 7 man/auto/mute Automixer calculates the ratio of input level for specific channels for all input mixes in the group. The following example explains the weight control mechanism. Toggles between man/auto/mute. man: Passes the audio through without changing the gain. This mode is used for singing with a mic. auto: Turns on Automixer. This mode is used for conversations. mute: Mutes channels. When increasing the weight setting in one channel • the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel increases, while the values for other channels are reduced. • Channels with high weight setting values receive a higher system gain than other channels. 8 preset Selects the channel mode (man/auto/mute) when the PRESET button in the master field is pressed. The preset button lights when a preset is programmed for a channel. When reducing the weight setting in one channel • the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel reduces, while the values for other channels are increased. • When speaking into multiple mics at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish between different mics. If you can hear noise near one mic (example: noise from a computer ventilation fan or an air conditioner), you can suppress the noise by reducing the weight setting for that channel. Master field 1 4 group Each channel can be assigned to three groups (a/b/c). This group function is convenient for the following uses. • Using multiple rooms: Assign the mics in each room to their own groups, and use a different Automixer for each. • Stereo pan: Assign mics panned to left, right and center to groups a, b, and c, to maintain a stable stereo field. 2 3 1 OVERRIDE/PRESET/MUTE Makes settings for each group (a/b/c) selected in the channel control field. Shows only the selected group. • OVERRIDE When you press this button, channels where the channel override button is on will fade in to 0 dB (unity gain). All channels with the override button turned off will be muted. • PRESET When you press this button, each channel will switch to the mode indicated by the mode button (man/auto/mute) next to the lit preset indicator. When the power is turned on, each channel will be set to its preset mode. • MUTE When you press this button, all channels will fade out immediately (0.5 seconds). When you press this button, channels where the channel override button is on will fade in to 0 dB (unity gain). All channels with the override button turned off will be muted. 5 override If you turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field, the channel will switch to man mode or mute mode according to the settings for that channel’s override button. • When the channel’s override button is on, the mode for that channel will switch to man when the master OVERRIDE button is turned on. • When the channel’s override is off, the mode for that channel will switch to mute when the master OVERRIDE button is turned on. • When the master OVERRIDE button is turned off, the channel will return to its previous mode. The override function is convenient when the moderator of a panel discussion wants to control the system. Follow the instructions below to change the settings. 1. Turn on the override button on the moderator’s channel. 2. Turn off the override button on all other channels. 3. Turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field as needed. 2 meters Switches the meter indicator in the channel control field. Toggles between gain, input, and output each time you press the button. 6 Channel number NOTE Displays the channel number and channel name of the channel to be inserted. Meters should normally be set in gain mode. 3 reset Initializes the Automixer settings. 111 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Editing the internal effects STEREO type effects The internal effects of the QL series console can be mounted in EFFECT racks 1–8, and patched to an output channel’s output or input channel’s input, or inserted into a channel. For each effect mounted in a rack, you can choose one of 54 types of effect. With the default settings, the signals from MIX channels 13–16 are input to racks 5–8, and from the racks are then output to ST IN 1–4 (L/R). There are no assignments to racks 1–4. INPUT L EFFECT L L RETURN INPUT R EFFECT R R RETURN MIX type effects INPUT L NOTE L RETURN EFFECT INPUT R Some effect types can be mounted only in racks 1, 3, 5 or 7. R RETURN If a signal is assigned to only one input of a two-input effect, it will be processed as mono-in/ stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected. However, please note that this will not apply to COMP276, COMP276S, COMP260, COMP260S, EQUALIZER601, and OPENDECK. To use an internal effect via send and return, assign the output of a MIX channel to the input of the effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding output channel is used as a master channel for the effect send, and the input channel is used as an effect return channel. INPUT L or R Rack 1 L RETURN EFFECT R RETURN EFFECT Using an internal effect via send and return Rack 7 INPUT PATCH Output of the output channel OUTPUT PATCH Rack 2 EFFECT This section explains how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return channel, so that the effect can be used in a send and return configuration. Input of the input channel NOTE • If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI” as the bus type. This will allow you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel. • If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it is convenient to assign the send-destination MIX bus to stereo. (For details on bus assignments, refer to “Basic settings for MIX buses and MATRIX buses” on page 189.) EFFECT Rack 8 EFFECT Alternatively, you can assign the input and output of the internal effect to the insert-out/in of a desired channel (except for a ST IN channel), so that the effect is inserted into that channel. Insert-out of a desired channel* EFFECT STEP 1. Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 103, to mount an effect in a rack. 2. Press the INPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select a MIX channel as the input source for the rack (page 103). 3. Press the OUTPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the L input of a ST IN channel as the output destination for the rack (page 103). 4. Adjust the send level from each channel in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. 5. Adjust the master level of the effect send of the MIX channel you selected as the input source for the rack. 6. Adjust the effect return level of the ST IN channel you selected as the output destination for the rack. Insert-in of a desired channel* * Excluding a ST IN channel The internal effects fall into two categories; “STEREO type” (2-in/2-out) effects that process the L/R channel input signals independently, and “MIX type” (1-in/2-out) effects that mix the two channels before processing them. If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows. 112 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Inserting an internal effect into a channel NOTE • If you’re using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs of the rack. • If you’re using the output of the effect in stereo, assign the R input of the ST IN channel selected in step 3 to the R output of the rack. • You can select more than one output destination for the effect. • For more information on setting the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect parameters” on page 114. This section explains how to insert an effect into a channel by assigning the input/output of the internal effect to the input/output of the desired channel (except for a ST IN channel). For details on editing the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect parameters” on page 114. STEP 1. Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 103, to mount an effect in a rack. 2. Press the INPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the insertout for one of the channels as the input source for the rack (page 103). 3. Press the OUTPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the insert-1in or insert-2in of the same channel as the output destination for the rack (page 103). 4. Use the Bank Select keys and the [SEL] key to select the channel into which you inserted the effect. 5. Press the popup button in the INSERT field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. 6. In the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window, turn on the INSERT ON/OFF button for the channel into which you inserted the effect. 7. Display the EFFECT EDIT window again, and select the effect type and edit the effect parameters. 8. Using the fader of the channel you selected as the rack’s output destination in step 3, adjust the level as appropriate. Adjusting the effect send level of a input channel In the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, press and select the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob for the MIX bus set as the input source for the rack, and use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to that MIX bus. NOTE • When adjusting the effect send level, make sure that the send level from the ST IN channel you selected as the output destination for the rack to the corresponding MIX bus is set to –∞ dB. If you raise this send level, the output of the effect will be returned to the input of the same effect, possibly causing oscillation. • If you press the knob once again, the MIX SEND window (8ch) for the send-destination MIX bus will appear. This window contains on/off switches for the signals sent from each channel to the corresponding bus, and lets you select the send point (PRE or POST) (page 35). Adjusting the master level of the effect send Operate the fader for the MIX channel you specified as the input source for the rack. Set the level as high as possible without allowing the post-effect signal to reach the overload point. NOTE NOTE • If you are inserting an effect into a channel that handles a stereo source, assign the R channel insert-out/insert-in to the R input and output of the effect in the same way as step 3. • For more information about how to operate the INSERT/DIRECT OUT window, refer to “Inserting an external device into a channel” on page 18. • The levels before and after the effect are shown by the input and output meters in the upper right of the EFFECT EDIT window. • Adjust the effect send master level and the effect parameters so that the signal does not reach the overload point at the input or output stage of the effect. The input and output levels of the effect are shown by the input/output meters in the upper right of the EFFECT EDIT window. Adjusting the effect return level To adjust the effect return level, operate the fader for the ST IN channel you specified as the output destination for the rack. 113 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Editing the internal effect parameters EFFECT EDIT window This section explains how to change the effect type and edit the parameters.

A Rack select tabs Enable you to switch between EFFECT 1–8. Using the Tap Tempo function “Tap tempo” is a function that lets you specify the delay time of a delay effect or the modulation speed of a modulation effect by striking a key at the desired interval. The Tap Tempo function can be used for delay-type and modulation-type effects in which the BPM parameter is included, and specify the delay time or modulation speed. To use the Tap function, you must assign Tap Tempo to a USER DEFINED key, and then operate that USER DEFINED key. USER DEFINED KEYS page USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window NOTE • If you specify “CURRENT PAGE” in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window, the Tap Tempo function can be used for the currently-displayed effect (rack). • If you specify “RACK x” (x=1–8) in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window, you can use the Tap Tempo function only for a specific effect (rack). • For more information on USER DEFINED keys, refer to “USER DEFINED keys” on page 169. NOTE For details on the parameters of each effect type, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual). Assigning the Tap Tempo function to a USER DEFINED key STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button. 2. Press the USER SETUP button in the upper left of the SETUP screen. 3. Press the USER DEFINED KEYS tab in the USER SETUP window. 4. On the USER DEFINED KEYS page, press the button for the USER DEFINED key to which you want to assign the Tap Tempo function. 5. Select “TAP TEMPO” in the FUNCTION column, select “CURRENT PAGE” in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window, and press the OK button. 116 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Using the Tap Tempo function Effects and tempo synchronization The average interval (BPM) at which you press the USER DEFINED key will be calculated, and that value will be applied to the BPM parameter. Some effects of the QL series can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay-type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo. The average interval will be input to the parameter. (the average of a, b, and c) a First tap b Second tap Parameters related to tempo synchronization The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization. 1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ. SYNC: ......................... This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization. NOTE and TEMPO: .... These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization. DELAY and FREQ.: ..... DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects. c Third tap Fourth tap NOTE How the parameters are related Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value*a from the TEMPO and NOTE. • If the average value is outside the range of 20–300 BPM, it will be ignored. • If you turn on the MIDI CLK button in the special parameter field, the BPM parameter value will change in relation to the tempo of the MIDI timing clock received from the MIDI port. Turn SYNC ON Change NOTE DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the RACK button. 2. Press the EFFECT tab in the VIRTUAL RACK window. 3. Press the rack container in which the effect you want to control is mounted. 4. Press the effect type field in the EFFECT EDIT window. 5. In the EFFECT TYPE window, select an effect type that includes a BPM parameter. 6. Set the SYNC parameter ON in the effect parameter field. 7. At the desired tempo, repeatedly press the USER DEFINED key to which you assigned the Tap Tempo function, to set the BPM parameter. Change TEMPO DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) sec FREQ. = (TEMPO/60) / (NOTE x 4) Hz Example 1: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter note DELAY = new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) = (1/4) x 4 x (60/120) = 0.5 (sec) = 500 ms Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms. Tap Tempo window 117 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Using the Freeze effect Example 2: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121 DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/new TEMPO) = (1/8) x 4 x (60/121) = 0.2479 (sec) = 247.9 (ms) Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms. *a Rounded values are used for the calculation results. This section explains how to use the “FREEZE” effect type, which provides the functionality of a simple sampler. When this effect type is selected, you can perform operations on screen to record (sample) and play back a sound. NOTE Effect types “FREEZE” and “HQ.PITCH” can be used only in rack 1, 3, 5, or 7. STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the RACK button. 2. Press the EFFECT tab in the VIRTUAL RACK window. 3. Press the effect container in rack 1, 3, 5, or 7. 4. Press the effect type field in the EFFECT EDIT window to open the EFFECT TYPE window, and select “FREEZE.” 5. To begin recording (sampling), press the REC button and then press the PLAY button. 6. To play back the recorded sample, press the PLAY button. Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters. • It is a common value shared by all effects. (However, this is relevant only if you turn the MIDI button and the SYNC parameter on, while a MIDI CLOCK is being input to the MIDI IN connector.) • You cannot store it to or recall it from the Effects Library. (You can store it to and recall it from a Scene.) This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when that effect was stored. Here is an example. Store the effect: TEMPO=120 Change TEMPO to 60 Recall the effect: TEMPO=60 Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between store and recall, the QL series does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored. * The NOTE parameter is calculated based on the following values. = 1/48 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 1/12 = 3/32 = 1/8 = 1/6 = 3/16 = 1/4 = 3/8 = 1/2 = 3/4 = 1/1 = 2/1 NOTE • The bar in the EFFECT EDIT window reflects the current recording progress. When a fixed time has elapsed, the buttons will automatically turn off. • You can adjust the parameters in the EFFECT EDIT window to make detailed settings for recording time, the way in which recording will begin, and the way in which the sample will play back. For details on the parameters, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual). • The sampled content will be erased if you record another sample, change the effect, or turn off the power to the QL unit. 118 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack EFFECT EDIT window (when FREEZE is selected) Using the Premium Rack If the “FREEZE” effect type is selected, a PLAY button, REC button, and progress bar will appear in the special parameter field. The procedure to set up the I/O patches for the rack are the same as those for the effect rack (page 112). For the premium rack, only racks 1–2 can be used via send/return. Racks 3–8 are only for patching as inserts. (Refer to “Virtual rack operations” on page 103.) 1 3 STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the RACK button. 2.

Using the Premium Rack The QL series console features processors that faithfully emulate meticulously-selected vintage analog processors, and a newly-developed Premium Rack, as well as graphic EQs and built-in effects. The Premium Rack employs VCM technology, which models analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce and fine-tune amazing analog sounds. The Premium Rack offers six types of processors. Name Outline Portico 5033 Models RND’s analog 5-band EQ. Portico 5043 Models RND’s analog compressor/limiter. U76 Models a typical vintage compressor/limiter. Opt–2A Models a classic vacuum tube (optical type) compressor. EQ–1A Models a classic vacuum tube passive-type vintage EQ. Dynamic EQ Newly-developed EQ that features a dynamically changing gain and enables you to control the cut/boost amount in relation to the input level. VIRTUAL RACK window (PREMIUM RACK field) 119 PREMIUM RACK MOUNTER window Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Editing the Premium Rack parameters NOTE • If you are inserting a processor into a channel that handles a stereo source, assign the R channel insert-out and insert-in to the R input and output of the processor in the same way as steps 5 and 6. • For details on editing the parameters, refer to the next section “Editing the Premium Rack parameters.” • Adjust the digital gain and the processor parameters so that the signal does not reach the overload point at the input or output stage of the processor. Each Premium Rack window includes the following items: 1 2 3 Mounting a processor There are two ways to mount each processor: • DUAL .....................The processor is used on two mono channels. • STEREO ................The processor is used on one stereo channel. The DUAL button and STEREO button indicate how many rack space units are occupied by the Premium Rack processor. 1 ASSIST button Press this button to indicate the numbers that control each parameter. 2 LIBRARY button The U76 occupies two rack spaces. Other processors occupy one rack space. If you mount a two-space Premium Rack processor in the rack, you will be unable to mount any more processors below those rack spaces. Also, you cannot mount a two-space processor in an even-numbered rack. Press this button to display the Library window for Premium Rack (for each module type). 3 DEFAULT button Restores the default parameter setting. NOTE • If the ASSIST button is on, you will be able to easily identify the parameters that are currently available for editing, and the parameters that will be available for editing after you select them. • You can adjust the parameter in finer steps by turning a [TOUCH AND TURN] knob while pressing and holding it down. • Pressing a top panel [SEL] key while operating the premium rack parameter will switch to the popup window of GEQ, effect, or premium rack that is inserted in that channel. 120 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 6 LMF/MF/HMF IN button Portico 5033 Turn LMF/MF/HMF EQ on or off respectively. Portico 5033 is a processor that emulates a 5-band analog EQ developed by Rupert Neve Designs (RND). 5033EQ features a unique tone control response. It inherited the history of the “1073,” which was praised as one of the greatest devices developed by Mr. Rupert Neve. Yamaha’s VCM technology has modeled the EQ to the last detail, including the input/output transformer that was designed by Rupert Neve himself. As a result, this processor model produces musically high-quality sound even when bypassed. Its response features unique effects. For example, if the Lo setting is cut, the low range becomes tight, and if the Hi setting is raised, the desired range will be boosted without hurting your ears. 7 LF/HF IN button Turn LF and HF EQ on or off simultaneously. 8 Graph Indicates the graphical EQ response. Portico 5043 Portico 5043, like Portico 5033, is a processor that emulates RND’s analog compressor. The actual 5043 compressor is equipped with the same input/output transformer as that of the 5033 EQ, delivering a natural, analog-like tonality and effect. It enables you to obtain a range of results from hard compression to natural sound, and is suitable for a broad range of audio sources ranging from drums to vocals. The most notable feature of this model is that you can switch the gain reduction type. You can choose either an FF (Feed-Forward) circuit type (which is the current mainstream), or an FB (Feed-Back) circuit which was typically used in vintage compressors. This allows you to create sounds with various characteristics as appropriate for your applications. 8 1 5 3 2 3 4 1 2 7 4 6 1 ALL BYPASS button Switches EQ bypass on or off. Even when EQ bypass is on, the signal will pass through the input/output transformer and amp circuits. 2 TRIM knob 5 Adjusts the input gain of the processor. 3 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Frequency knobs 6 7 8 9 1 IN button Adjust the frequency for each band. Turns the compressor’s bypass on or off. When the compressor is bypassed, the button indicator will turn off. However, even if the compressor is bypassed, the signal will pass through the input/output transformer and amp circuits. 4 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Gain knobs Adjust the amount of boost or cut for each band. 2 INPUT meter 5 LMF/MF/HMF Q knobs Indicates the input signal level. One meter appears in DUAL mode, and two meters appear in STEREO mode. Adjust the Q (steepness) of each band. The higher the Q value, the narrower the range in which you can control the gain for the band. 121 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 3 FB button U76 Switches the gain reduction method between FF (Feed-Forward) circuit and FB (FeedBack) circuit. The button will light when FB circuit is selected. The FF circuit is used in most contemporary compressors. This type is useful when you want to apply consistent compression while maintaining a consistent tonal color. The FB circuit is used in vintage compressors. This type is suitable when you want to apply a smooth compression while adding a tonal character that is characteristic of such devices. U76 is a processor that emulates a popular vintage compressor used in a wide range of situations. This processor does not provide the threshold parameter that is found on conventional compressors. Instead, the intensity of compression is determined by the balance between the input gain and the output gain. The “All mode” setting for the RATIO parameter allows you to create a heavily-compressed sound that is typical of this model. It produces an aggressive tonal character with a rich addition of overtones. 1 2 4 GAIN REDUCTION meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. 5 THRESHOLD knob Adjusts the threshold at which compression starts to be applied. 6 RATIO knob Adjusts the compression ratio. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to switch to the limiter. 7 ATTACK knob Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. 8 RELEASE knob Adjusts the compressor’s release time. 9 GAIN knob 3 Adjusts the output gain. 4 5 6 1 INPUT knob Adjusts the input level. As the input level gets higher, more compression is applied. 2 ATTACK knob Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest attack time. 3 RELEASE knob Adjusts the compressor’s release time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest release time. 4 RATIO switch buttons Use these five buttons to set the compression ratio. A button with a higher number will raise the compression ratio more. Pressing the ALL button selects All mode, in which the RATIO will become high, and sharp compression with a faster release time will be applied, creating substantially-distorted aggressive sound. 122 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 5 METER switch buttons Opt-2A Switch the meter display. • GR.................Indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor. • +4/+8 .............Each meter uses –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, and indicates “0VU” for the value of the reference level added by +4 dB or +8 dB. • OFF ...............Turns off the meter display. Opt-2A is a processor that emulates a popular vintage model of tube optical compressors. It features smooth compression produced using optical components such as a CdS cell and an EL panel to control the level. It also features beautiful high-range overtones created by the warm distortion typical of tube circuits, resulting in elegant and sophisticated sounds. 6 OUTPUT knob Adjusts the output level. If you have adjusted the amount of gain reduction by changing the INPUT knob, the level of audible volume will also change. In this case, use the OUTPUT knob to adjust the volume level. 1 2 3 4 1 GAIN knob Adjusts the output level. 2 PEAK REDUCTION knob Adjusts the compression amount of the signal. 3 RATIO knob Adjusts the compression ratio. 4 METER SELECT knob Switches the meter display. GAIN REDUCTION indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor. With –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, the OUTPUT +10 and OUTPUT +4 settings respectively will cause the value +10 dB or +4 dB from this reference level to be shown as “0VU” on the meter. 123 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 7 (HIGH) BOOST knob EQ-1A Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the HIGH FREQUENCY knob. EQ-1A is a processor that emulates a famous passive-type vintage EQ. It features a unique style of operation, allowing you to individually boost and attenuate (cut) each of two frequency ranges (high and low). The frequency response is utterly unlike that of a conventional EQ, and is a uniquely distinctive characteristic of this model. The input/output circuits and vacuum tubes produce a tonal character that is highly musical and well-balanced. 3 4 5 7 8 8 (HIGH) ATTEN knob Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the ATTEN SEL knob. 9 9 (HIGH) ATTEN SEL knob Switches the frequency region attenuated by the ATTEN knob. Dynamic EQ Dynamic EQ is a newly-developed equalizer that does not emulate any specific model of equalizer. The sidechain has a filter that extracts the same frequency band as the EQ. This allows you to apply EQ in the same way as you might apply a compressor or expander to a specific frequency region, causing the EQ gain to vary dynamically only when a specific frequency region of the input signal becomes too high or too low. For example you could use this on a vocal sound as a de-esser, so that EQ is applied to a specific frequency band only when sibilance or high-frequency consonants reach an unpleasant level, thus preserving a natural sound that does not impair the original tonal character. Two full-band Dynamic EQs are provided, enabling you to process a wide range of audio sources. 1 2 6 1 IN switch Turns the processor on or off. When the switch is off, the signal will bypass the filter section, but pass through the input/output transformer and amp circuits. C 2 LOW FREQUENCY knob 1 3 4 Sets the frequency of the low range filter. 3 (LOW) BOOST knob Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW FREQUENCY knob. 6 4 (LOW) ATTEN knob 5 Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW FREQUENCY knob. 9 0 5 BAND WIDTH knob Sets the width of the frequency band controlled by the high range filter. As you rotate the knob toward the right (Broad), the band will become wider and the peak level will decrease. This affects only the response of the boost. 28 6 HIGH FREQUENCY knob A 7B 1 BAND ON/OFF button Sets the frequency of the high range filter. This affects only the response of the boost. Turns each band on or off. 124 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 2 SIDECHAIN CUE button B THRESHOLD meter Turn this button on to monitor the sidechain signal sent to the CUE bus. At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters. Indicates the sidechain signal level in relation to the threshold level. C Graph area 3 SIDECHAIN LISTEN button Displays the equalizer response. In most cases, this area displays the reference EQ graph that indicates the frequency and intensity, and the dynamic EQ graph that indicates the dynamically-changing EQ responses. Turn this button on to output the sidechain signal (linked to the dynamics) to the bus (such as a STEREO bus or MIX/MATRIX bus) to which the insert channel signal is sent. At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters. 4 FILTER TYPE buttons Switch the type of the main bus equalizers and sidechain filters. Main bus EQ and sidechain filter will link as follows: Dynamic EQ graph FILTER TYPE (Low Shelf) Main EQ Sidechain filter (Bell) (Hi Shelf) Low Shelf Bell Hi Shelf LPF BPF HPF Reference EQ graph If SIDECHAIN CUE or SIDECHAIN LISTEN is on, this area displays the sidechain filter response. 5 FREQUENCY knob Sets the frequency band that will be controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter. 6 Q knob Sets the Q value (steepness) of the equalizer and sidechain filter. As you rotate this knob clockwise, the frequency range to which the equalizer or sidechain filter is applied will become wider. Sidechain filter graph 7 THRESHOLD knob Specifies the threshold at which the processor will begin taking effect. 8 RATIO knob Sets the boost/cut ratio relative to the input signal. Rotating the knob clockwise will set the ratio for boost, and counter-clockwise for cut. Fully rotating the knob in either direction will create the maximum effect. 9 ATTACK/RELEASE buttons Enable you to select one of the three settings as the attack/release time for compression or boost. Select FAST for a faster attack and faster release. Select SLOW for a faster attack and slower release. Select AUTO to automatically adjust the attack/release time depending on the frequency ranges. 0 MODE buttons Specify whether the processor is triggered when the sidechain signal level exceeds the threshold value (ABOVE), or when the level does not reach the threshold value (BELOW). A EQ GAIN meter Indicates the dynamically-changing EQ gain. 125 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack Premium Rack library Using the graphic EQ, effect, and Premium Rack libraries For the Premium Rack, there are six library items for each module type. You’ll use the library of the module type to store and recall Premium Rack settings. The libraries are numbered 000–100, and 000 is read-only data for initialization.

Audio signal Remote signal Using an external head amp If an I/O card (such as an MY16-ES64 card) supports the remote protocol of an external head amp in the QL’s slot, you will be able to remotely control from the QL console some parameters of the external head amp (Yamaha SB168-ES or AD8HR), such as phantom power (+48V) on/off status, gain, and HPF. For details on the I/O card settings, refer to the Owner’s Manual for the I/O card. MY16-EX MY16- ES64 Connecting the QL series console to an AD8HR To remotely control the AD8HR from the QL series console, install an MY16-ES64 EtherSound card in Slot 1 on the QL unit, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the QL unit to the NAI48-ES. Then, connect the HA REMOTE connector on the NAI48-ES to the HA REMOTE 1 connector on the AD8HR using an RS422 D-sub 9-pin cable. This connection enables you to remotely control the AD8HR from the QL series console. To transmit audio signals (input to the AD8HR) to the QL series console, connect the DIGITAL OUT A (or B) connector on the AD8HR to the AES/EBU connector on the NAI48-ES using a D-sub 25-pin AES/EBU cable. Signals will be sent or received between the NAI48-ES and the QL series console via the MY16-ES64 card. Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to remotely control multiple AD8HR units simultaneously. To do this, connect the AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 2 connector to the second AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 1 connector. If you use the NAI48-ES, you can connect up to four AD8HR units. Each slot of the QL series console provides up to 16 channels of input, so if you want the audio signals from the AD8HR to be input to the QL series console, you’ll need to install two MY16-EX cards in the console and connect the MY16-ES64 via an Ethernet cable.

External device QL5 MIDI functionality on the QL series console The QL series console can use MIDI to perform the following operations. Program Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the QL series console, a Program Change message (a number that is assigned to the event) can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change message is received from an external device. Control Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (fader, knob, or key operation) on the QL series console, the corresponding Control Change message can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when Control Change messages are received from an external device. This allows you to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play them back later. SETUP screen MIDI/GPI screen (MIDI SETUP page) Parameter Change (SysEx) transmission and reception NOTE When specific events (fader, knob, or key operations, changes in system settings or user settings) are executed, “Parameter Change” SysEx (system exclusive) messages can be transmitted to an external device.

MIDI/GPI screen (CONTROL CHANGE page) Using control changes to control parameters You can use MIDI Control Change messages to control specified events (fader/knob operations, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the QL series console. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later. You can use Control Changes to control events in either of the following two ways. NOTE Assignments to control numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than for individual scenes. Using Control Changes This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely assign an event to each control number. Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) This method uses a special type of Control Change messages called NRPN. NRPN uses Control Change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted Control Change messages of Control Change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of that parameter. The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed. NOTE For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual). 143 Reference Manual MIDI MIDI/GPI screen (CONTROL CHANGE page) NOTE The channel on which Control Changes are transmitted and received is specified by the PORT/ CH field on the MIDI SETUP page (page 139).

DVS works as an audio interface, making it possible to transmit signals between a DAW and an audio network (that includes a QL series console and I/O devices). In this way, you will be able to make multi-track recordings of live performances or use live recordings that were made a day earlier for a virtual sound check. This section explains the steps required when adding DAW software to an audio network. 2 Required devices and software • QL series • A computer (Windows or Mac) equipped with an Ethernet port that supports a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network; DAW software • A GbE-compatible network switch • CAT5e cable • Dante Virtual Soundcard driver software or Dante Accelerator card • Dante Controller control software 5 6 NOTE • You must have a license ID to use Dante Virtual Soundcard. A sheet with the DVS token needed to acquire the license ID is included in the QL unit package. • The latest information about the Dante Virtual Soundcard and the Dante Controller is available at the following website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ 1 SONG TITLE/FILE NAME EDIT button Enables you to edit the title of the song selected in the list. 2 ARTIST EDIT button Enables you to edit the artist name of the song selected in the list. NOTE A maximum of 128 single-byte characters (64 double-byte characters) can be input for both the title and for the artist name. If the title cannot be shown completely, the text will scroll horizontally. 3 SONG TITLE/FILE NAME SORT button Sorts the list in alphabetical order of the title. 4 ARTIST SORT button Sorts the list in alphabetical order of the artist name. 5 SAVE LIST button Saves the order of the current title list and PLAY check symbol settings as a playlist on the USB flash drive. 6 SONG TITLE/FILE NAME button Enables you to select either song title or file name to be displayed in the SONG TITLE/ FILE NAME field. 152 Reference Manual Recorder Word clock settings NOTE Please refer to the Dante Virtual Soundcard User’s Guide for more information on ASIO settings (Windows). In a Dante network, the master device supplies accurate word clock to other devices on the network. If the master device is removed from the network or breaks down, another device will automatically take over as the clock master. To make this setting, in the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button, then the WORD CLOCK/SLOT button to access the WORD CLOCK/SLOT window. Dante Accelerator settings After mounting a Dante Accelerator card on the computer, install the Dante Accelerator Driver and make the following settings. For information about how to install the driver, refer to the Installation Guide included with the driver. • Use a network cable to connect the Dante jack on the Dante Accelerator card to the Dante network, and then connect the computer’s network port to the same network. • Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting). NOTE For more information about selecting a computer for remote control from a QL series console, refer to “When setup method selection button = SPECIFIED IP ADDRESS” in “Specifying DVS or Dante Accelerator” on page 157. Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard Install Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and Dante Controller in the computer that you want to use for audio recording. Make the following settings before turning DVS on. • Connect the GbE-compatible network port of the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. • Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting). • Set the audio format. (Example: 48kHz, 24 bit) • Set the Dante latency. (Use a high setting to ensure stability when using multiple channels.) • In the Advanced settings, select the number of channels to be used for recording and playback (the default is 8 x 8). 153 Reference Manual Recorder Setting up Dante Controller Setting up DAW software Connect the network port of the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting). The following settings can be made via Dante Controller. • For multi-track recording, patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS or DANTEACCEL. • For virtual sound check: Patch audio signals in such a way that they will be output from the computer to the Dante audio network, then routed to the channels on the QL console (page 127). The following example shows Dante Controller settings for when channels 1–16 of an I/O device are patched to DVS. You must make driver settings in your DAW software. In the device setting window, select “Dante Virtual Soundcard-ASIO” (for a Windows PC) or “Dante” (for Mac) as the sound card (or audio driver) used for input/output. Some DAW software may require internal patching for the driver and the DAW software. For more information, refer to the DAW software manual. Setting up Nuendo Live When you start up Nuendo Live and create a new project, tracks corresponding to the number of channels specified in DVS will be created automatically, and the channel names and colors from the QL series console will automatically be assigned as each track name. Make the following settings in Nuendo Live. • Settings button ➞ Audio System, and select DVS or Dante Accelerator as the driver. Audio recording and playback After you have made driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back audio. For multi-track recording, set the input ports for the tracks of the DAW software to the ports that receive audio signals from the I/O devices. For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the QL console. To do so, patch the signals so that they will be output from the DAW software to DANTE 1–64 on the QL console (DANTE 1–32 for the QL1). It may be convenient for you later if you store two sets of the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings in the library: one set for routing audio signals from the I/O devices, and another set for routing audio signals from DAW software. In this way, you will be able to switch between patch settings without starting Dante Controller. In addition, you will be able to patch a specific channel (such as a vocal) to the I/O device to monitor during a virtual sound check. In this case, you’ll need to switch the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings of the QL series console depending on whether you’re performing multitrack recording or multitrack playback. If you’ve saved these different sets of settings in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY (page 128), you’ll be able to switch between them conveniently. NOTE Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings of the Dante Controller. 154 Reference Manual Recorder Using the QL console with Nuendo Live RECORDER screen (when selecting the Nuendo Live tab) The QL series consoles can operate in an integrated manner with Steinberg’s Nuendo Live DAW software.

To send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must be synchronized to the same word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an unsynchronized state, the data may not be transmitted or received correctly, and noise may be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are the same. Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the entire system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock slaves) so that they synchronize to the word clock master. If you wish to use the QL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word clock supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the port through which the word clock is obtained). This section explains how to select the clock source that the QL series console will use. STEP 1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button. 2. In the SYSTEM SETUP field of the SETUP screen, press the WORD CLOCK/SLOT button. 3. In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field of the WORD CLOCK/SLOT window, select a clock source. 4. Press the “x” symbol located in the upper right to close the window. Recovery procedure After removing the cause of the overcurrent at the USB port, press the location that shows “USB REMOUNT” at the FORMAT button of the SAVE/LOAD window. SETUP screen 184 WORD CLOCK/SLOT window Reference Manual Setup WORD CLOCK/SLOT window • DANTE 48k • DANTE 44.1k The word clock supplied from the Dante jack on the rear panel of the console will be used as the clock source. 3 1 • SLOT 1–2 The word clock supplied via a digital I/O card installed in a console slot will be used as the clock source. Word clock can be selected in pairs for each slot. 2 3 Clock status display Indicates the status of synchronization with the master clock for each clock source. Each indicator is explained below: • LOCKED (light blue) Indicates that a clock synchronized with the selected clock source is being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is occurring properly between that device and the QL series console. If the sampling frequency is close, this status may be displayed even if not synchronized. 6 5 7 4 • LOCKED, BUT NOT SYNC’ED (yellow) A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the selected clock source. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the QL series console. • SRC ON (green) This is a special status that applies only to SLOT1–2, indicating that the corresponding channel’s SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is enabled. This means that even if the signal is not synchronized, normal input/output with the QL series console is occurring. MASTER CLOCK SELECT field 1 Master clock frequency display Indicates the frequency (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) of the currently-selected master clock. If the unit is not synching to the master clock, “UNLOCK” will appear. • UNLOCKED (red) A valid clock is not being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the QL series console. NOTE • If sample rate pull-up/down has been specified in the Dante Controller application, this area indicates the change in the sample rate as a percentage, such as –4.0%, –0.1%, +4.0%, 4.1667%, etc. • To change the master clock when sample rate pull-up/down has been specified, disable the pull-up/down in the Dante Controller, change the master clock, then specify pull-up/down again. • UNKNOWN (black) This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is connected or because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this connector/slot, but successful synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is established. 2 Master clock select buttons NOTE • If the indicator for the selected clock does not turn light blue, make sure that the external device is correctly connected, and that the external device is set to transmit clock data. • Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. To protect your speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp volume before changing the word clock setting. • If you attempt to select a channel (for which SRC is on) as the word clock source, a message will appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled. Use the buttons to select the clock source that you want to use as the word clock master from the following options: • INT 48 k • INT 44.1 k The QL console internal clock (sampling rate 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz) will be the clock source. • WORD CLOCK IN The word clock supplied from the WORD CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the console will be used as the clock source. 185 Reference Manual Setup SLOT field Using cascade connections This field enables you to make various settings related to the MY slots on the rear panel of the console. Using multiple QL series consoles, or a QL console and an external mixing console (such as a Yamaha PM5D) in a cascade connection enables buses to be shared among the devices. This can be convenient if you want to use an external mixer to increase the number of inputs. This section explains cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two QL units are connected in a cascade configuration. 4 Card name Indicates the type of card installed in the slot. If nothing is installed, “----” will appear. 5 SRC buttons The SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) function can be switched on or off for a slot in which an MY card (MY8-AE96S) that features the SRC function is installed. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, no SRC button will appear. About cascade connections To cascade two QL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate slots, and connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports of the receiving unit (the cascade master). The following illustration shows an example in which two eight-channel digital I/O cards for each unit are installed in the cascade slave QL unit and in the cascade master QL unit. The DIGITAL OUT jacks of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving unit. 6 FREQUENCY display Indicates the sampling frequency of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, “----” will appear. 7 EMPHASIS STATUS display Indicates the emphasis information of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, “----” will appear. Audio signals of A+B Audio signals of unit A DIGITAL OUT DIGITAL IN QL A QL B (Cascade slave) (Cascade master) Digital I/O card In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1–16, MATRIX bus 1–8, STEREO bus (L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals transmitted from the cascade master QL unit. (If you use two 16-channel digital I/O cards, all buses can be shared among the devices.) When the required settings are made for the cascade slave and for the cascade master, the bus signals of the cascade slave will be sent via the slot to the buses of the cascade master, and the combined signals of both buses will be output from the cascade master. If the Cascade Link function is enabled, the specified operations or parameter changes performed on either QL series console will be followed by the other QL console. You must specify bus assignments for each slot or channel on each QL unit. Separate procedures are outlined for the cascade slave and the cascade master. 186 Reference Manual Setup CASCADE window (CASCADE OUT PATCH page) NOTE • If you are making a cascade connection between the QL unit and the PM5D, you can use the QL unit as the cascade slave by setting the PM5D’s CASCADE IN PORT SELECT to a slot. However, only the audio signals will be cascaded, and the control signals cannot be linked. • You can also use an AD/DA card or OMNI OUT jack to make cascade connections with an analog mixer. • There is no limit to the number of units that can be cascade-connected, but the signal delay at the cascade slave will increase in accordance with the number of units from the cascade master.

For example if the connections used for the REDUNDANT setting are left as they are when you change the setting to DAISY CHAIN, it will become impossible to send and receive audio. Be sure to disconnect the cables before you change the setting. • The CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT settings will not be changed even if you initialize the QL series console. • When the CONSOLE ID is OFF or is set to 2, 3, or 4 for a QL series console, the console’s BIT/ LATENCY will not change even if the BIT/LATENCY is changed in the DANTE SETUP window for the QL series console within a network for which the CONSOLE ID is set to 1. • When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, the DANTE PATCH BY field is fixed to “DANTE CONTROLLER.” Also, patching cannot be changed in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. • When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, all the mounted devices will be “virtual.” You can edit HA GAIN and other settings for Rio series units, but the changes will not apply to device settings. This is the same as when the devices are not connected. Therefore, level control and other settings do not affect other devices. STEP 1. In the DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page), select the CONSOLE ID and the SECONDARY PORT. 2. Press the APPLY button. 3. In the window to confirm the change, press the OK button. DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page) The button you switched is shown in red. When the Dante audio network settings have been applied, the button you selected will return to its original appearance. Setting the Dante audio network latency An appropriate latency setting for signals sent and received via a Dante audio network varies depending on the network connection method and size. This section explains how to set an appropriate latency setting depending on the connection method of Dante-enabled devices that are connected to the QL series console. Relationship between the switches and the number of hops An appropriate latency setting on a Dante audio network varies depending on the number of hops in the network. One hop is the step from one router (switch) to the next. You count the number of hops starting from the master device to the most distant device (assuming that all devices are connected in series). Switches mean network switches and routers, as well as the switches that are built into QL series consoles and I/O devices. Set the latency value based on the number of hops. The following table shows typical latency settings based on the number of hops. Number of hops Latency (ms) Up to 3 0.25 Up to 5 0.5 Up to 10 1.0 Up to 20 2.0 21 or more (or if a problem occurs) 5.0 NOTE • Depending on network conditions, you may want to raise the latency value even if the number of hops is small. • If a problem occurs, select 5.0 ms so that you will be able to identify whether the latency setting is the cause of the problem. 194 Reference Manual Setup Connection examples and latency settings Redundant connections Simple 64-in/48-out Daisy chain connections Simple 64-in/48-out 3 3 2 4 2 3 1 2 QL 1 1 QL QL 3 hops = 0.25 ms 4 hops = 0.5 ms 3 hops = 0.25 ms Redundant connections FOH and monitor consoles are sharing 64-in/48-out.

The upper line shows the front panel of the I/O device. The lower line shows the model name and the number of inputs and outputs. 4 UNIT ID knob Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to specify the UNIT ID. The indicator shows the UNIT ID. 198 Reference Manual Setup NOTE When the setup method select button is DVS or MANUAL • If there is one I/O device, set the I/O device’s UNIT ID to “1.” • If multiple devices are connected, assign the ID numbers so that there is no conflict between devices. • For devices other than the R series, it is possible for devices of differing models to be assigned to the same ID as an Rio series unit or the same ID as a different model of device. However, since the I/O device input/output port screen shows the UNIT ID, this will make it difficult to distinguish between the units, so we recommend that whenever possible, you avoid allowing the ID numbers to overlap. • If you have a device whose UNIT ID or device label cannot be changed from its panel or its edit screen etc. (such as the Dante-MY16-AUD card or Dante Accelerator), and you want to use that device as a SUPPORTED DEVICE, you must change its device label via Dante Controller. • An I/O device will be recognized as a SUPPORTED DEVICE if you assign the device label as follows. Y###-********** # is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0–9 and uppercase A–F (000–FFF) * indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or - (hyphen) may be used) • If you are controlling the QL series console from an Rio series unit, we recommend that you set the Rio unit’s START UP MODE to “REFRESH.” Operation will be safer with the “REFRESH” setting, since mute will be cleared after synchronization has been completed with QL units whose system setting for REMOTE HA ASSIGN is set to “WITH RECALL.” With the “RESUME” setting, mute will be cleared and the unit will start operating with the settings that were backed up by the Rio series unit itself, which could allow unexpected audio to be output. • A single QL series console can control the HA of up to eight Rio series units. If nine or more Rio series units are connected, you can either divide the HA control between multiple QL series consoles, or you can omit specifying REMOTE HA ASSIGN for the Rio series units whose HA does not need to be controlled, and use them with START UP MODE set to “RESUME.” If you want to enter the device label of an I/O device and mount it, press the DVS or MANUAL button to access the DVS/MANUAL field. 2 1 3 1 DEVICE LABEL Displays the device label of the I/O device which you entered from the keyboard. 2 INPUT/OUTPUT knobs Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to specify the number of inputs and outputs on the Dante audio network. 3 Device label entry keyboard Use this keyboard to enter the device label of the I/O device. NOTE • If the I/O device is a DVS, mount it by pressing the DVS button. • If DEVICE LABEL is left blank, the first DVS detected is automatically mounted. • If the device label you entered is detected automatically, the INPUT/OUTPUT knob settings will be ignored, and the rated number of inputs and outputs will be specified. 199 Reference Manual Setup 3 HA device select buttons REMOTE HA settings Press one of these buttons to open the REMOTE HA SELECT window.

A trigger signal will be output when the fader exceeds the UPSTROKE level, or when the fader falls below the DOWNSTROKE level. You can use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to operate these parameters. NOTE • The THRESHOLD values specified by the UPSTROKE/DOWNSTROKE knobs are common to all GPI OUT ports. However, you can individually choose the channel (fader) for each GPI OUT port. • Only the UPSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER START, and only the DOWNSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER STOP. If MODE is set to FADER TALLY, both the UPSTROKE and DOWNSTROKE values will be valid. 5 MODE field Here you can select the mode of fader operation that will be the trigger for signal output from the GPI OUT port. You can choose from the following fader modes. FADER START • NO ASSIGN Operating the fader of the selected channel will not cause a signal to be output. 250 msec • FADER START A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves upward through the specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a point below it. FADER STOP 250 msec • FADER STOP A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel reaches the specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to 9.95 dB). FADER TALLY • FADER TALLY A trigger signal will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves upward through the specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a point below it. This signal will be held until the fader reaches the specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to 9.95 dB) or until that GPI OUT port receives a different trigger. NOTE At the high level, the output signal of the port will be open. If the receiving device requires high level, take it from the +5V power supply pin. However in this case, the amount of current is limited; for details, refer to “Control I/O specifications” on the QL Data List (End of Manual). 207 Reference Manual Help function Help function NOTE By default, the character code set of the text file will be detected as UTF-8.

When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE). Dynamics Parameters are the following types. Input channels DYNAMIC section 1 DYNAMIC section 1 GATE COMPRESSOR COMPRESSOR DUCKING COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard) EXPANDER THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points) This determines the level of trigger signal (KEY IN) required to activate ducking. COMPRESSOR COMPANDER-S (Compander Soft) COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard) RANGE (dB) –70 to 0 (71 points) This determines the amount of attenuation when ducking is activated. EXPANDER DE-ESSER COMPANDER-S (Compander Soft) ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how soon the signal is ducked once the ducker has been triggered. HOLD (ms) 44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec 48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points) This determines how long ducking remains active once the trigger signal has fallen below the THRESHOLD level. DECAY (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. Parameter GATE Range Description A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE). Description THRESHOLD (dB) –72 to 0 (73 points) This determines the level at which the gate effect is applied. RANGE (dB) –∞, –69 to 0 (71 points) This determines the amount of attenuation when the gate closes. ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how fast the gate opens when the signal exceeds the threshold level. HOLD (ms) 44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec 48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points) This determines how long the gate stays open once the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold.

The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the level to the threshold. This means that the limiter’s output level never actually exceeds the threshold. An expander attenuates signals below a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. Parameter Range Parameter Description Range Description THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points) This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the expander.

ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how soon the signal will be compressed once the compressor has been triggered. RELEASE (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) RELEASE (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. This determines how soon the signal is expanded once the signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. OUT GAIN (dB) 0.0 to +18.0 (181 points) This sets the expander’s output signal level. OUT GAIN (dB) 0.0 to +18.0 (181 points) This sets the compressor’s output signal level. Hard, 1–5 (6 points) This determines how compression is applied at the threshold. For higher knee settings, compression is applied gradually as the signal exceeds the specified threshold, creating a more natural sound. Hard, 1–5 (6 points) KNEE This determines how expansion is applied at the threshold.

THRESHOLD WIDTH 0dB Input Level The companders function differently at the following levels: 1 0 dB and higher ..................................Functions as a limiter. 2 Exceeding the threshold ....................Functions as a compressor. 3 Below the threshold and width ..........Functions as an expander. The hard compander has an expansion ratio of 5:1, while the soft compander has an expansion ratio of 1.5:1. The expander is essentially turned off when the width is set to maximum. The compressor has a fixed knee setting of 2. * The gain is automatically adjusted according to the ratio and threshold values, and can be increased by up to 18 dB. * The OUT GAIN parameter enables you to compensate for the overall level change caused by the compression and expansion processes.

They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects. STATUS DATA = paramMax – paramMin + 1; = paramWidth / paramSteps; = paramWidth – add * paramSteps; = paramSteps * add + mod / 2; (1) If the assigned parameter has fewer than 128 steps paramWidth = 128; rxValue = Control value; 1001nnnn 9n Note on message 0nnnnnnn nn Note number 0vvvvvvv vv Velocity (1-127:on, 0:off) 1.3 CONTROL CHANGE paramSteps add mod curValue (2) If the assigned parameter has 128 or more but less than 16,384 steps paramWidth = 16384; (2-1) When High and Low data is received (Bn) Two types of CONTROL CHANGE can be transmitted and received; [NRPN] (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers) and freely-assigned [TABLE] (1CH x 110) messages. Select either [TABLE] or [NRPN]. rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + Control value(Low); (2-2) When only Low data is received rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(Low); (2-3) When only High data is received Reception These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [CONTROL CHANGE ECHO] is ON. If [TABLE] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches, and will control parameters according to the settings of the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST]. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” (page 22). If [NRPN] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches; the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are used to control the specified parameter. rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + (curValue & 127); Transmission If [TABLE] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a parameter that is assigned in the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST], these messages will be transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” (page 22). If [NRPN] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a specified parameter, the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” (page 22). CONTROL CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to QL Editor because there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match. (PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.) rxValue = (curValue & 2080895) + Control value(Middle) * 128; (3) If the assigned parameter has 16,384 or more but less than 2,097,152 steps paramWidth = 2097152; (3-1) When High, Middle, and Low data is received rxValue = Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low); (3-2) When only Low data is received rxValue = (curValue & 2097024) + Control value(Low); (3-3) When only Middle data is received (3-4) When only High data is received rxValue = (curValue & 16383) + Control value(High) * 16384; (3-5) When only Middle and Low data is received rxValue = (curValue & 2080768) + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low); (3-6) When only High and Low data is received rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Low); (3-7) When only High and Middle data is received rxValue = (curValue & 127) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle) * 128; If [NRPN] is selected 1011nnnn Bn Control change 01100010 62 NRPN LSB 0vvvvvvv vv Parameter number LSB STATUS 1011nnnn Bn Control change * DATA 01100011 63 NRPN MSB 0vvvvvvv vv Parameter number MSB STATUS 1011nnnn Bn Control change * DATA 00000110 06 Data entry MSB 0vvvvvvv vv Parameter data MSB STATUS 1011nnnn Bn Control change * DATA 00100110 26 Data entry LSB 0vvvvvvv vv Parameter data LSB * The STATUS byte of the second and subsequent messages need not be added during transmission. Reception must occur correctly whether or not the status byte is omitted. STATUS DATA 1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn) Reception If [PROGRAM CHANGE ECHO] is ON, bank select messages will also be echoed from MIDI OUT. If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are received if [PROGRAM CHANGE Rx] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches. However if [OMNI] is ON, these messages are received regardless of the channel. When these messages are received, scene memory, effect library and premium rack library are recalled according to the settings of the [PROGRAM CHANGE EVENT LIST]. Transmission If [PROGRAM CHANGE Tx] is ON, these messages are transmitted according to the [PROGRAM CHANGE Table] settings when scene memory, effect library and premium rack library are recalled. If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. If the recalled scene memory, effect library and premium rack library have been assigned to more than one PROGRAM NUMBER, the lowest-numbered PROGRAM NUMBER for each MIDI channel will be transmitted. PROGRAM CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to QL Editor because there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match. (PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.) You can choose either MULTI MIDI CH or SINGLE CH. If SINGLE is selected You can choose the Rx CH, OMNI CH, and Tx CH. You can choose whether a bank select message will be added. A bank of up to 16 can be specified. If MULTI is selected The Rx and Tx channels will be the same. The assignment table will use the settings for each MIDI channel. Bank select messages will not be added. You can make settings for up to sixteen MIDI channels.

The unique header (Model ID) identifies whether the device is a QL series. To calculate the check sum, add the bytes starting with the byte after BYTE COUNT (LOW) and ending with the byte before CHECK SUM, take the binary complement, and set bit 7 to 0. CHECK SUM = (-sum)&0x7F Bulk Dumps can be received at any time, and can be transmitted at any time when a Bulk Dump Request is received. A Bulk Dump is transmitted on the [Rx CH] channel in response to a Bulk Dump Request. In the data portion, seven words of 8-bit data are converted into eight words of 7-bit data.

This message is received if [PARAMETER CHANGE Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches the Device number included in the SUB STATUS. When a PARAMETER CHANGE is received, the specified parameter will be controlled. When a PARAMETER REQUEST is received, the current value of the specified parameter will be transmitted as a PARAMETER CHANGE with its Device Number as the [Rx CH]. Transmission If [PARAMETER CHANGE Tx] is ON, and you edit a parameter for which CONTROL CHANGE transmission has not been enabled, a PARAMETER CHANGE will be transmitted with the [Tx CH] as its device number. In response to a PARAMETER REQUEST, a PARAMETER CHANGE will be transmitted with [Rx CH] as its device number. Command rx/tx F0 43 1n 3E 19 ... F7 RARAMETER CHANGE F0 43 3n 3E 19 ...
