Universal Control Installation for Apple iOS / iPadOS / Android
To remote control your Quantum interface with Apple iOS / iPadOS / Android devices, you must first locate and install the Universal Control application onto your Apple iOS / iPadOS / Android device from your app store. Once downloaded, you can use Universal Control with an Apple iOS / iPadOS / Android device by connecting to the same wireless network as the computer that is connected via USB to your Quantum interface.

Neem asseblief kennis:
Quantum interface firmware can only be updated from your computer. Firmware updates from Universal Control are not available from Apple iOS / iPadOS / Android mobile devices.

iPadOS Low Latency Driver

  • When using the latest iPad Air M3 and iPad Pro M5, round trip lag (latency) can be reduced by up to 40% (2-3ms less latency) by enabling the Quantum USB Audio Driver from your iPad settings. Once Universal Control is installed on your iPad, navigate to iPadOS’s Settings > Apps > Universal Control and turn on the Quantum USB Audio Driver.Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (10)
  • Note: This driver only applies to Apple iPadOS 18+. Not applicable to any earlier iPadOS versions nor any version of Android.

Mobile Compatibility Modes

  • Due to limitations to some operating systems, the Quantum HD includes various mobile modes, which allows it to be used on Android devices with Android version 14 or later.

When using Quantum HD with a device that has Android 14+, ensure that the correct mobile mode is selected. To change modes from your Quantum HD, press and hold  the knob until the “Settings” screen appears. Navigate to “Mobile Mode” (shown as “Device Mode” in Universal Control), then press the knob to select a mode.

  • Off: Use this mode for macOS, Windows, and iOS / iPadOS devices (no channel or sample rate limitations).
  • Android: Use this mode for Android OS 14+ devices. This option is best for most applications and supports 2 (QHD 2) or 8 (QHD 8) input channels.
  • Android+: This mode is also used for Android OS 14+ devices (for use with specific applications that can access full channel counts).

Let wel:
Die maksimum sample rate possible for both Android and Android+ modes is 48 kHz.

Universele beheer

  • Universal Control is both a driver-management utility and software control interface for your Quantum InterfaceFender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (11)

Universele beheer verskaf die volgende:

  • Hardware Control. All of Quantum’s front panel hardware controls can be adjusted using Universal Control, facilitating easy hardware manipulation even if Quantum is installed in a location out of reach of the computer operator.
  • Lae Latency Monitering. Die gebruik van Universal Control elimineer die latensie wat verband hou met DAW I/O buffering wat monitering problematies maak vir die uitvoerder. Deur die DAW se sagteware-invoermoniteringskenmerk heeltemal van die moniteringseinvloei te verwyder, is die behoefte om I/O-buffergroottes en latensie aan te pas nie meer 'n probleem nie.
  • Stuur / Cue Busse. Universal Control het stereo aux busse, met onafhanklike stuurvlakke per inset.
  • Konfigurasiebestuur (tonele). Universele beheer konfigurasies kan gestoor en gelaai word na / van skyf as tonele, vir gerieflike en onbeperkte sessie bestuur.

Universal Control has two main components: the Start and the Mixer pages. We’ll go into more detail about each in the sections below.

Universal Control Start Page
Universal Control contains driver support, software control, monitor mixing, and firmware management for Fender and PreSonus hardware. After opening Universal Control, you will see the Launch window. From this window, you can manage all the driver settings.

Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (12)

  • Sample Tarief. Verander die sampdie koers. Jy kan die s stelampkoers na 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 of 192 kHz. 'n Hoër sample koers sal die getrouheid van die opname verhoog, maar dit sal ook die verhoog file grootte en die hoeveelheid stelselhulpbronne wat nodig is om die klank te verwerk.
  • Klok Bron. Stel die digitale klokbron. Vanaf hierdie spyskaart kan jy die klokbron vir jou Quantum HD-koppelvlak stel. Intern, Eksterne S/PDIF, Eksterne ADAT of Wordclock (slegs Quantum HD 8).
  • Buffer Size (Windows only). Sets the Buffer Size. From this menu, you can set the Buffer Size for your Quantum HD interface from 16 to 2048 samples. Lowering the buffer size will reduce the overall latency. However, this will also increase performance demands on your computer. In general, you will want to set the buffer size as low as your system can safely support. If you begin to hear pops, clicks or distortion in your audio path, try raising the buffer size.
  • Device Mode (HD8 only): Displays the current device mode.
  • Input Format. Details your device, input channels, and bitrate.
  • Uitset formaat. Besonderhede jou toestel uitset kanale en bitrate.
  • Firmware. Wys die huidige firmwareweergawe.
  • Reeksnommer. Vertoon jou Quantum-reeksnommer.

Begin die Universal Control Mixer
Universal Control’s Mixer can be launched from the Universal Control application (Start Page).

  1. Maak Universele Beheer oop.
  2. From the Universal Control Start Page, click on the product card for the Quantum HD Control Panel (mixer).
  3. Die Universal Control Mixer sal in 'n ander venster oopmaak.

Verlaat universele beheer

Vir macOS-gebruikers:

  • Kies "Verlaat universele beheer" in die macOS-toepassingskieslys wanneer Universele beheer die voorgrondtoepassing is.
  • Gebruik die standaard macOS-sleutelbordkortpad: Command + Q.

Vir Windows-gebruikers:

  • Klik op die "X" toemaakknoppie in die venstertitelbalk.

Gebruik Universal Control se menger

Terugloop
Loopback audio is the industry term for routing audio from one application to another. Applications that use audio interfaces, like your Quantum interface, are designed to receive audio from one audio device and send audio to one audio device. This means that most applications can only send to and receive from an audio interface, but not from other applications. This can present a challenge in certain situations. Fortunately, Quantum HD audio interfaces allow you to take audio from any of Universal Control’s mixer inputs (mics, guitars, computer audio, etc.) and send the combined audio to another application for the purpose of recording or live streaming.Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (24)

Hoe om Loopback te gebruik
As jy die Loopback-funksie wil gebruik, volg die aanwysings hieronder:

  1. Make sure that your Quantum HD is selected as the Windows or macOS playback device.
  2. In your DAW or software application, choose the channel input labeled Loopback 1 or Loopback 2. Any audio sent to Loopback 1 or 2 will be available as a virtual input in your DAW or other software applications (not all software applications support multichannel inputs).
    Note: Loopback inputs are disabled at sample tariewe van 176.4 en 192 kHz.
  3. In Universal Control’s mixer window, adjust the send level to whichever Loopback send you’ve selected in Fender Studio Pro.
    • Loopback 1 Stuur Vlak. Pas die hoeveelheid oudio aan wat jy na Loopback-stroom 1 wil stuur.
    • Loopback 2 Stuur Vlak. Pas die hoeveelheid oudio aan wat jy na Loopback-stroom 2 wil stuur.
  4. Nadat jy die terugstuurvlak aangepas het, sal jy sien dat meetvlakke verskyn binne die DAW- of sagtewaretoepassingskanaal wat jy opgestel het. Sodra meting verskyn, is jy gereed om oudio op te neem.

WAARSKUWING:
Maak seker dat die kanaal in jou DAW gedemp is voordat jy opneem aktiveer om terugvoerlusse te vermy.

Quantum Multichannel
Multichannel is a hardware and software operating mode that can be configured using Universal Control. Quantum HD 2 and HD 8 interfaces can be used as an all-in-one monitoring hub for some multichannel formats (depending on the amount of analog outs per device).
Wanneer 'n multikanaalmodus gekies word, sal die knop alle ooreenstemmende luidsprekervolume gelyktydig beheer. Vir meer inligting oor elk van die Multichannel-opsies, review die lys hieronder:

  • None: Knob control is disabled and unity audio will be sent out of all outputs.
  • All: The knob will control the output volume for all outputs at the same time.
  • 1 – 2: The default Main Encoder mode. The knob will control the output volume for Main Outputs 1 and 2.
  • 1 – 4: The knob will control the output volume for Outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 all at the same time.
  • 1 – 6 (Quantum HD 8 only): The knob will control the output volume for Outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 all at the same time.
  • 1 – 8 (Quantum HD 8 only): The knob will control the output volume for Outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 all at the same time.
  • All + ADAT: The knob will control the output volume for all outputs (including the ADAT connected HD 8) at the same time.

Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (25)

WAARSKUWING:
Full-scale audio will be sent out of Main Outputs 1 and 2. Main Outputs 1 and 2 will be muted when this mode is selected to avoid damaging speakers or other equipment.

Using Your Quantum Interface

As 'n oudio-koppelvlak

  • The Quantum HD functions like other audio interfaces when used without the Universal Control application installed. Quantum HD’s class-compliant (macOS) and WDM drivers (Windows) enable it to be used for computer audio I/O routing with any compliant software with some limitations.

Selfstandige gebruik (HD 8 ADAT Preamp Uitbreiding)
The Quantum HD 8 can be used to add mic pres to another Quantum HD running in audio interface mode (with Universal Control installed) or a third party audio interface that supports ADAT optical inputs as well as S/MUX and its variants. To use a second or third Quantum HD as a standalone preamp through ADAT, access the secondary or tertiary Quantum HD’s Global Settings when not connected to a computer and set the Standalone mode to “ADAT.” By default, this mode is set to “Mixer.”Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (26)

  • As long as the additional HD 8 is put into ADAT mode, and the clock source is set to externally clock via SPDIF, ADAT, or Word Clock, the 48V and Gain Knob controls will be present at the top of each ADAT fader.
  • Note: When in ADAT mode, the knob of the HD 8 expansion will no longer control volume and will blink 3 times if turned in either Main or Headphone control modes.
  • The knob will still control gain level if a channel is selected.
  • If you select “All + ADAT” from the Main Encoder settings, the knob will control the output volume for all outputs (including the ADAT connected HD 8) at the same time.
  • Note: As with any of the other Main Encoder link modes, as outputs get assigned to be controlled by the knob, those outputs paths become unavailable as Sends for cue mix routing, etc.

 Send Routing Options
Quantum HD interfaces have two send options located in the Universal Control settings panel. Depending on which option is selected, ADAT Sends and computer playback channels (ex., USB 5/6) will become available or unavailable. In either mode, Loopback 1 and Loopback 2 are available as Sends on any input channel.Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (27)

  • Analog Out (default). When analog out is selected, Sends can only be routed to the physical analog outputs of Quantum (for example, Out 3/4, Out 5/6, etc.). When this option is selected, ADAT signals can be easily routed from your DAW.
  • Analog + ADAT. When Analog + ADAT is selected, the mixer is reconfigured so that all analog and ADAT outputs are available as Sends on input channels. When this option is selected, the computer playback input channels (USB 5 – 10) will no longer be available in UC’s mixer and all ADAT signal routing must be done through Universal Control. In other words, ADAT will not pass if routed from a DAW.

LET WEL:
By sample rates greater than 96 kHz, all digital inputs are disabled as well as Loopbacks 1 and 2.

Met universele beheer

  • Quantum HD and Universal Control can be used without a DAW or any other software. Using Universal Control without a DAW provides access to all Quantum HD functionality and simplifies the use of Quantum HD’s digital mixing and monitoring when a DAW is not needed.

Quantum I/O-bestuurdername

  • Each Quantum input and output has a channel number and name provided by the Quantum HD drivers on macOS and Windows. If an audio software application can access Core Audio / ASIO devices directly, it may be possible to designate specific inputs and/or outputs within the application.

Universele beheerinstellings wat na kragsiklus behou word

  • All currently active Main Mix settings (channel volume level, pan position, solo, mute, and stereo link) and monitor settings (main and headphone output levels) are saved to internal firmware before your Quantum HD are powered down, and recalled when power
    is reapplied.

Let wel:
Veranderinge word nie onmiddellik gestoor nie. Laat asseblief tot 10 sekondes toe vir die instellings om op die toestel gestoor te word voordat dit afgeskakel word.

Met 'n DAW (sonder universele beheer)

  • Wanneer dit met 'n DAW gebruik word, maar sonder die Universal Control-toepassing, beheer die DAW alle sein-I/O-roetering en sagtewaremonitering.

Monitering met die DAW

  • Die primêre funksie van Universal Control is om Quantum se insette tydens lewendige optrede te monitor. Wanneer sagteware-monitering in die DAW geaktiveer is, moet Universal Control-insetmonitering gedeaktiveer word om verdubbelde seine uit te skakel.
  • Maak seker dat jy invoermonitering in Universal Control deaktiveer wanneer jy sagtewaremonitering via die DAW doen. Indien Universal Control se invoermonitering nie gedeaktiveer is nie (gedempte kanaal, fader af, of omseilde menger), phasing en/of verdubbeling van die gemonitorde sein(e) sal plaasvind omdat die insetsein twee keer gehoor word – eers vanaf die lae-latensie DSP-mengsel (Universal Control) en kort daarna vanaf die hoër-latensie sagtewaremengsel (DAW).

Hoe om insetmonitering in Universal Control uit te skakel

  • Om insetmonitering in Universele Beheer te deaktiveer wanneer sagtewaremonitering in die DAW gebruik word, maak Universele Beheer oop en demp alle invoerkanale binne Universele Beheer of aktiveer "Bypass Mixer" in die Instellings. Universele beheer kan dan gesluit word.
  • Die gebruik van 'n DAW sonder Universele Beheer is 'n tipiese werkvloei tydens vermenging, waar lae-latency-monitering nie nodig is nie en buffervertraging nie 'n probleem is nie, want die snitte is reeds aangeteken. Wanneer nuwe snitte opgeneem word, word die DAW- en Universal Control-werkvloei (soos beskryf in die volgende afdeling) aanbeveel.
  • In hierdie scenario funksioneer Quantum as 'n oudio-koppelvlak. Die DAW kry toegang tot en stuur Quantum se oudio-koppelvlak I/O via die toestelbestuurders. Oudio I/O latency word bepaal deur die I/O Buffer Size instelling.

Met 'n DAW (met universele beheer)

  • Universele beheer word gelyktydig met 'n DAW gebruik wanneer lae-latency monitering verlang word. Hierdie werkvloei skakel die I/O-buffervertragings wat verband hou met sagtewaremonitering heeltemal uit. In hierdie scenario word Universele Beheer gebruik om alle toevoermonitering tydens opname te beheer, en die DAW se sagtewaremoniteringfunksie moet gedeaktiveer word.

Sagtewaremonitering versus hardewaremonitering

  • Sagtewaremonitering (luister na regstreekse insette via die DAW-menger) het 'n merkbare latensie as gevolg van oudio-koppelvlak I/O-buffering. Hardewaremonitering via 'n oudio-koppelvlak se interne DSP-menger (bv. die Universal Control-toepassing) het nie waarneembare latensie nie, want die lewendige klank word intern direk vanaf die insette na die uitsette gestuur sonder DAW I/O-buffering.

Monitering met universele beheer

  • Die primêre funksie van Universal Control is die monitering van Quantum-insette tydens lewendige optrede. Wanneer dit saam met 'n DAW gebruik word, word Universal Control gebruik as 'n monitormenger wat apart van die DAW se sagteware-moniteringsmenger funksioneer.
  • Maak seker dat jy Sagtewaremonitering in die DAW deaktiveer wanneer jy Universele Beheer gebruik. Wanneer Universele Beheer vir regstreekse invoermonitering met 'n DAW gebruik word, moet die DAW se sagtewaremoniteringsfunksie gedeaktiveer wees. Indien nie, phasing en/of verdubbeling van die gemonitorde sein(e) sal plaasvind omdat die insetsein twee keer gehoor word – eers vanaf die lae-latensie DSP-mengsel (Universal Control) en kort daarna vanaf die hoër-latensie sagtewaremengsel (DAW).

Terugloop
Quantum’s device drivers carry virtual (software only) input and output channels in addition to those directly associated with the hardware inputs and outputs. Loopback facilitates highly flexible signal routing via the DAW, without needing to reach behind the gear rack for manual cable patching. Additionally, since the loopback audio streams are in the digital domain, a pristine audio signal path is maintained without requiring additional A/D – D/A conversions. Loopback sends enable any input to be routed directly into Universal Control’s FlexChannel (see section 2.3.2 in this manual for more information).

Toestel-terugstelling
As jy 'n probleem met jou Quantum teëkom en jy moet die toestel terugstel, kan jy terugstel na die verstek toestelinstellings of teruggaan na 'n vorige firmware.

Verstek toestelinstellings
Indien nodig, kan jy die verstekmenger herstel (preamp gain, output levels, etc.) and system settings (speaker switching modes, headphone mix sources, etc). To restore the default system settings:

  • In Universele Beheer, gaan na Instellings (ratikoon)
  • Druk die "Factory Reset" knoppie
  • 'n Bevestigingsblokkie sal verskyn
  • Kies "Herstel" om te bevestig of "Kanselleer" om die terugstelling te kanselleer

Keer terug na Vorige Firmware
Om terug te keer na 'n vorige firmware:

  1. Deïnstalleer die huidige weergawe van Universal Control
  2. Installeer die weergawe van Universal Control wat die vorige firmware het
  3. Met die Quantum aangeskakel, maak Universal Control oop en klik "Update Firmware"
  4. 'n Kennisgewing sal sê dat jou firmware op datum is en in elk geval moet opdateer
  5. Kies "Dateer in elk geval op" en volg die proses

Let wel:
If your Quantum HD ever becomes unresponsive, press and hold the knob while powering on to enter firmware recovery mode.

Quantum Control from Fender Studio Pro
Your Quantum HD interface can be controlled directly from Fender Studio Pro (only compatible with version 6.6.1 or higher). After configuring the inputs and outputs of your interface within Fender Studio Pro, you’ll have easy control over various channel parameters, including channel Preamp Gain, Phantom Power, High Pass Filter, Auto Gain and Pad (HD only). To set up your Quantum Interface in Fender Studio Pro, follow the directions below. Once all cable connections are made and you have updated the Quantum’s firmware:

  1. Launch Fender Studio Pro.
  2. Navigate to Studio Pro/Options/Audio Setup/Audio Device (macOS: Preferences/Audio Setup/Audio Device) to open the Audio Device settings window.
  3. Kies Quantum as beide die afspeel- en opname-toestel.
  4. Konfigureer enige ander oudiotoestel of verwerkinginstellings soos verlang.
  5. Klik OK.

I/O-opstelling

  • Before creating your first song, it’s recommended that you first configure your Quantum Interface for input and output routing in Fender Studio Pro.
  • To route Inputs and Outputs, go to Fender Studio Pro Preferences, then select “Audio Setup”. In the bottom left corner, select “Song Setup” to enter the Audio I/O Setup tab.

Toewysing van hardeware I/O aan sagteware I/O-kanale

  • Hardeware-insette en -uitsette word aan sagteware I/O-kanale in 'n matriksroeteerder toegewys, wat 'n visuele voorstelling van die roetering is. Sagtewarekanale (mono en stereo) kry elkeen 'n horisontale ry, en hardeware-insette en -uitsette word vertikale kolomme gegee. Die punte waar hierdie rye en kolomme sny verteenwoordig potensiële verbindings, of roetes, tussen die hardeware I/O en sagteware I/O kanale.
  • By default, Fender Studio Pro creates three Input Channels: one stereo and two mono. These channels are labeled Input L+R (stereo), Input L (mono), and Input R (mono). By default, the stereo Input Channel receives input from the first stereo hardware input pair of your selected audio device. The two mono Channels receive input from the same stereo hardware input pair. The Output Channel is labeled Main Out (stereo) and is routed by default to the first stereo hardware output pair of your selected audio device.
  • Om 'n roete tussen sagteware-I/O-kanale en hardeware-I/O te skep, klik op die leë vierkant by die kruising van die verlangde hardeware-invoer of -uitset en die sagtewarekanaal-invoer of -uitvoer. 'n Gekleurde vierkant verskyn met 'n M-, L- of R-etiket, wat aandui of die roete 'n monoroete (M) of die linker- of regterkant van 'n stereoroete (L of R) is.
  • Let wel: By hoër sample rates, the number of available ADAT Inputs and outputs is reduced for each port. At 88.2/96 kHz, only ADAT channels 1–8 are available, and all digital is disabled at sample tariewe hoër as 96 kHz. Onbeskikbare ADAT-kanale word in kursief teks in die Invoer-, Uitvoer-, Bus- en Invoegbladsye van die I/O-opstelling aangedui.

Kwantuminvoeropstelling
From the Inputs tab, you can enable any or all of the inputs on your Fender Quantum audio interface that you’d like to have available. Use the “Add” button options below the matrix to add new inputs.

Verstek Toestel I/O-opstelling
We recommend that you create a default Audio I/O Setup that can be a starting point for all new Songs. This lets you immediately begin working on your new Song, with little or no preliminary setup. To do so, create software I/O channels for all of your audio device’s commonly used inputs and outputs and name them appropriately. Then, click on the “Make Default” button in the Audio I/O Setup menu, and a pop-up window appears to confirm that you wish to make the current I/O setup the default for new Songs. Click “Yes”, and from that point forward, all new Songs will be created with this audio I/O setup. You can always use the “Reset to Default” button to apply this configuration to a song.

Geïntegreerde kwantumkenmerke
