The pressure waves are normal behavior, as it takes a bit of pressure to register the touch.
Nothing to worry about.
I think I may sell my Qu-Pac, however. Letting go of my Analog Keys means the Qu-Pac is a bit overkill for my OT MKII, Digitone, and Monologue.
I’ll sure miss the per channel fully parametric eq/compression, and scene save/load though.
Does anyone use ALT out for monitors? Seems to be good idea because ALT out have physical volume button.
But I have small issue with ALT out. I can hear whistle noise (from monitors) when ALT volume is turned to zero or if nothing is playing or playing quietly. I discovered when I turn a bit down display brightness this noise goes away. Also it goes away 15-20 minutes after boot. Like it needs some kind of warming up…
Haven’t you noticed this?
In the Qudrive Knowledbase it says this: ´Format the hard drive on the Qu mixer before each use. This clears the drive, sets up the Qu directory structure, and formats into FAT32 with a constant cluster size of 32kB.`
What does that mean? Everytime you record? Everytime you finished a recording session and are turning the unit off? Does that mean attaching a hard disk is overkill and it’s better to just get a small USB-flashdrive? Each use seems very vague. What’s peoples experience with recording and the Qu-drive here?
I will use the QuPac next weekend to record multitrack a 4 hours live session (I intend to do several different recordings, and test it this week beforehand oc).
Do you know if it is possible to record both multitrack and main stereo ?
I can’t seem to see if it’s possible, so far.
EDIT: nevermind, seems it does it. To be tested tomorrow
You can perfectly do multitrack recording up to 18 channels.
And you can use some of the other channels to play back what’s on the USB key.
I haven’t tried it yet but that’s where I am in the manual
I should try it tomorrow to prepare Saturday live session recording though !
You should look at the MIDI implementation for the automation part.
Perhaps I was being dense and missed that the ‘usb’ being mentioned was to record via qu-drive… I was referring to the usb stream so you’d have the 16 regular inputs and ST1, 2, and 3 that can all be recorded in a daw. The stream itself allows even more if you have one of those d-snake boxes with more inputs (32 in 32 out)
edit: just double-checked the manual… qu-drive is good for up to 32 channels as well. 19 are on the actual 'Pac itself with the st 1,2,3.
