Last update (d/m/y): 05/10/2021
Current version: 1.3.9
First step after adding SQ instance is to setting it up:
To configure soft keys 9 - 16 on SQ5 you have to use MixPad application. After initially configuration, all settings will be stored in SQ memory until next configuration or console reset. To avoid deleting the soft key configuration when change scene, set "block" in Scenes Global Filter.
"Scene step" admits a value between -50 and 50 in order to create forward and rewind scene call. "Current scene" set the current scene of your console to Companion into a variable (from version 1.3.0) then you'll be able to use it on any button text field. The value of the variable will be updating on first scene change performed by SQ or Companion. If your console starts with a scene other than 1, set the number in the option of the button, the press that button to setting up your starts current scene. To recall the variable on a button, type on button text field <b>$(</b> and Companion show you a list of SQ variables, then select "Scene - Current" (or digit <b>$(SQ:currentScene)</b>).
There are two specific values on level drop-down menu (at the top) when you configuring fader level.
From version 1.3.0 fader dB level being a variable. Like the current scene variable, you you'll be able to use it on any button text field and the value will be updating on every level change on the console (or via Companion). To use the variable, start typing <b>$(</b> on button text field and Companion show you a list of SQ variables, then select a level dB you want. If you want to use multi-line text, using <b>\n</b> for a new line.
Example: Showing up a dB fader level (-2) from channel 1 (Mic) to LR
Mic\n$(SQ:level_64_0) dB
the button show on display:
Mic
-2 dB
On same button, if you want, you can attach a Mute function for channel 1.
This option set at the release action of a Fader Level allows you to return to the last dB value level of that fader. Example: If the fader level was +2 dB and you want to momentarily set it to -20 dB, set the Press / On action fader level option to "-20 dB", then the Release / Off action of the fader level option to "Last dB value". When the button is pressed the level drops to -20 dB and when the button is released the level returns to +2 dB.
This option available on any fader level allow you to reach set dB fader level using fading in/out mode. The speed of the fader route is selectable between 1 and 3 seconds.
When configuring a button with one of the Pan functions appear an only read option that shows name of variable to use on button text to show up value of Pan/Balance. After select option for input and destination you need to press configuring button once to refresh variable value before use it.
This macro preset simulate the native function talkback of SQ, but it works with "channel assign to mix" function in console routing screen. With this preset you'll be able to talk to one specific AUX channels by pressing a button. This preset works with talkback input channel you set up on instance configuration. Initially, you have to remove the talkback input channel from mix assign on the console.
