• 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).

Nòt:
Maksimòm sample rate possible for both Android and Android+ modes is 48 kHz.

Kontwòl inivèsèl

• Universal Control is both a driver-management utility and software control interface for your Quantum Interface

Universal Control bay sa ki annapre yo:

• 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.
• Siveyans ki ba-latansi. Sèvi ak Universal Control elimine latansi ki asosye ak DAW I/O tanpon ki fè siveyans pwoblèm pou sèn nan. Lè w retire karakteristik siveyans opinyon lojisyèl DAW a nan koule siyal siveyans la nèt, bezwen ajiste gwosè tanpon I/O ak latansi yo pa yon pwoblèm ankò.
• Voye / Replik otobis yo. Universal Control gen otobis aux stéréo, ak nivo voye endepandan pou chak opinyon.
• Jesyon Konfigirasyon (Sèn). Konfigirasyon kontwòl inivèsèl yo ka sove ak chaje sou / soti nan disk kòm sèn, pou jesyon sesyon pratik ak san limit.

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.

• Sample Rate. Chanje s laample rate. Ou ka mete s laampto 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, oswa 192 kHz. Yon s ki pi woample pousantaj ap ogmante fidelite anrejistreman an, men sa ap ogmante tou file gwosè ak kantite resous sistèm ki nesesè pou trete odyo a.
• Sous revèy. Mete sous revèy dijital la. Soti nan meni sa a, ou ka mete sous la revèy pou koòdone Quantum HD ou a. Entèn, ekstèn S/PDIF, ekstèn ADAT, oswa Wordclock (Quantum HD 8 sèlman).
• 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.
• Fòma pèsistans yap ogmante jiska. Detay chanèl pwodiksyon aparèy ou an ak bitrate.

Sèvi ak mixer Universal Control la

Loopback
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.

Kouman pou itilize Loopback
Si ou vle itilize fonksyon Loopback la, swiv enstriksyon ki anba yo:

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 sampto 176.4 ak 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 Voye Nivo. Ajiste kantite odyo ou ta renmen voye nan kouran Loopback 1.
   • Loopback 2 Voye Nivo. Ajiste kantite odyo ou ta renmen voye nan kouran Loopback 2.
4. Apre w fin ajiste nivo voye Loopback la, w ap remake nivo mezi yo parèt nan DAW oswa chanèl aplikasyon lojisyèl ou te mete sou pye. Yon fwa mesure parèt, ou pare pou kòmanse anrejistre odyo.

AVÈTISMAN:
Asire w ke kanal la nan DAW ou a muet anvan ou anrejistre pèmèt pou evite bouk fidbak.

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).
Lè yo chwazi yon mòd multichanèl, bouton an pral kontwole tout volim oratè korespondan an menm tan. Pou plis enfòmasyon sou chak opsyon Multichannel, review lis ki anba a:

• 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.

AVÈTISMAN:
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

Kòm yon entèfas odyo

• 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.

Itilizasyon otonòm (HD 8 ADAT Preamp Ekspansyon)
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.”

• 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.

• 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.

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

Avèk kontwòl inivèsèl

• 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.

Non chofè Quantum I/O

• 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.

Anviwònman Kontwòl Inivèsèl ki kenbe apre sikilasyon pouvwa

• 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.

Nòt:
Chanjman yo pa sove enstantane. Tanpri pèmèt jiska 10 segonn pou paramèt yo sove sou aparèy la anvan ou koupe kouran.

Avèk yon DAW (san kontwòl inivèsèl)

• Lè yo itilize ak yon DAW men san aplikasyon Universal Control, DAW kontwole tout siyal I/O routage ak siveyans lojisyèl.

Siveyans ak DAW la

• Fonksyon prensipal Universal Control se kontwole opinyon Quantum pandan pèfòmans ap viv la. Lè siveyans lojisyèl aktive nan DAW a, siveyans opinyon Universal Control dwe enfim pou elimine siyal doub.
• Asire w ou dezaktive siveyans antre nan Universal Control lè w ap siveye lojisyèl atravè DAW la. Si siveyans antre Universal Control la pa dezaktive (chanèl sou mute, fader desann, oswa mixer bypassed), phasinYon ogmantasyon ak/oswa double siyal(yo) ki kontwole yo ap fèt paske y ap tande siyal antre a de fwa – premyèman nan melanj DSP ki gen latansi ba a (Universal Control) epi yon ti tan apre nan melanj lojisyèl ki gen latansi ki pi wo a (DAW).

Ki jan yo enfim siveyans opinyon nan Universal Control

• Pou enfim siveyans opinyon nan Universal Control lè w ap itilize siveyans lojisyèl nan DAW a, louvri Universal Control epi fèmen tout chanèl opinyon nan Universal Control oswa aktive "Bypass Mixer" nan Anviwònman yo. Lè sa a, kontwòl inivèsèl ka fèmen.
• Sèvi ak yon DAW san kontwòl inivèsèl se yon workflow tipik pandan melanj, kote siveyans ba-latansi pa obligatwa epi tanpon tanpon se pa yon pwoblèm paske tracks yo deja anrejistre. Lè w anrejistre nouvo tracks, DAW ak Universal Control workflow (jan sa dekri nan seksyon sa a) rekòmande.
• Nan senaryo sa a, Quantum fonksyone kòm yon koòdone odyo. DAW a jwenn aksè ak wout I/O koòdone odyo Quantum a atravè chofè aparèy yo. Odyo I/O latansi detèmine pa paramèt I/O Buffer Size.

Avèk yon DAW (ak kontwòl inivèsèl)

• Yo itilize kontwòl inivèsèl ansanm ak yon DAW lè yo vle siveyans latansi ki ba. Workflow sa a konplètman elimine latans tanpon I/O ki asosye ak siveyans lojisyèl. Nan senaryo sa a, yo itilize Kontwòl Inivèsèl pou kontwole tout siveyans opinyon lè w ap anrejistre, epi fonksyon siveyans lojisyèl DAW a ta dwe enfim.

Siveyans lojisyèl kont Siveyans Materyèl

• Siveyans lojisyèl (koute entrain ap viv atravè mixer a DAW) gen latansi ki ka wè akòz koòdone odyo I/O tanpon. Siveyans pyès ki nan konpitè atravè mixer DSP entèn yon koòdone odyo a (egzanp, aplikasyon Universal Control) pa gen latansi disernanb paske odyo a ap viv entènman dirije dirèkteman nan antre yo nan pwodiksyon yo san DAW I/O tanpon.

Siveyans ak kontwòl inivèsèl

• Fonksyon prensipal kontwòl inivèsèl se siveyans entrées Quantum pandan pèfòmans ap viv la. Lè yo itilize ak yon DAW, Universal Control yo itilize kòm yon mixer pou kontwole ki fonksyone separeman ak mixer siveyans lojisyèl DAW la.
• Asire w ou dezaktive Siveyans Lojisyèl nan DAW la lè w ap itilize Kontwòl Inivèsèl. Lè w ap itilize Kontwòl Inivèsèl pou siveyans antre an dirèk ak yon DAW, ou ta dwe dezaktive fonksyon siveyans lojisyèl DAW la. Si se pa sa, telechaje.asinYon ogmantasyon ak/oswa double siyal(yo) ki kontwole yo ap fèt paske y ap tande siyal antre a de fwa – premyèman nan melanj DSP ki gen latansi ba a (Universal Control) epi yon ti tan apre nan melanj lojisyèl ki gen latansi ki pi wo a (DAW).

Loopback
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).

Aparèy Reyajiste
Si ou rankontre yon pwoblèm ak Quantum ou a epi ou bezwen reset aparèy la, ou ka reset nan paramèt aparèy defo a oswa retounen nan yon firmwèr anvan.

Anviwònman Default Aparèy
Si sa nesesè, ou ka retabli mixer default la (preamp gain, output levels, etc.) and system settings (speaker switching modes, headphone mix sources, etc). To restore the default system settings:

• Nan kontwòl inivèsèl, ale nan Anviwònman (ikòn Kovèti pou)
• Peze bouton "Reset faktori".
• Yon bwat konfimasyon ap parèt
• Chwazi "Reset" pou konfime oswa "Anile" pou anile reset la

Retounen nan mikrolojisyèl anvan yo
Pou retounen nan yon firmwèr anvan:

1. Dezenstale vèsyon aktyèl la nan Universal Control
2. Enstale vèsyon Universal Control ki gen firmwèr anvan an
3. Avèk Quantum limen, louvri Universal Control epi klike sou "Mizajou Firmware"
4. Yon notifikasyon pral di ke firmwèr ou a ajou epi li mete ajou de tout fason
5. Chwazi "Mizajou de tout fason" epi swiv pwosesis la

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. Chwazi Quantum kòm tou de aparèy la Lektur ak anrejistreman.
4. Konfigure nenpòt lòt aparèy odyo oswa anviwònman pwosesis jan ou vle.
5. Klike sou OK.

Enstalasyon I/O

• 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.

Bay pyès ki nan konpitè I/O pou chanèl I/O lojisyèl

• Antre ak rezilta pyès ki nan konpitè yo asiyen nan chanèl I/O lojisyèl nan yon routeur matris, ki se yon reprezantasyon vizyèl nan routage a. Chanèl lojisyèl (mono ak stereo) yo chak bay yon ranje orizontal, ak entrain pyès ki nan konpitè ak pwodiksyon yo bay kolòn vètikal. Pwen kote ranje ak kolòn sa yo kwaze reprezante koneksyon potansyèl, oswa wout, ant I/O pyès ki nan konpitè ak chanèl I/O lojisyèl.
• 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.
• Pou kreye yon wout ant chanèl I/O lojisyèl ak I/O pyès ki nan konpitè, klike sou kare vid la nan entèseksyon antre oswa pwodiksyon pyès ki nan konpitè vle a ak antre oswa pwodiksyon chanèl lojisyèl an. Yon kare ki gen koulè parèt ak yon etikèt M, L, oswa R, ki endike si wout la se yon wout mono (M) oswa bò gòch oswa bò dwat nan yon wout stereo (L oswa R).
• Nòt: Nan pi wo 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 sampto pi wo pase 96 kHz. Chanèl ADAT ki pa disponib yo endike nan tèks italik nan paj Antre, Sòti, Otobis, ak Antre nan Enstalasyon I/O.

Default Aparèy I/O Enstalasyon
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.
