Custom Layers
You can assign Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3 layers within the Qu-Pad
app with any combination of channel, master and control strips. These are
stored in the iPad and cannot be recalled using scenes.
The Qu mixer also has its own Custom Layer available at the surface. This is
stored in the mixer and can be recalled using scenes.
You can synchronise one of the Qu-Pad custom layers to the mixer custom
layer using an iPad option:
Custom tab 1 follows Qu custom layer option – Go to the iPad Settings
menu ‘Qu-Pad’ item:
Off (default) = Qu-Pad presents ‘Custom 1’, ‘Custom 2’, ‘Custom 3’.
These are independent of the mixer custom layer.
On = Qu-Pad presents ‘Custom Layer’, ‘Custom 2’, ‘Custom 3’.
‘Custom Layer’ is the same as the mixer custom layer.
‘Custom Layer’ can be assigned using Qu-Pad
Turn this option on if you are using Qu-SB (no surface) and want to
assign and use the mixer Custom Layer, for example to set user permissions
for Custom Layer only.
