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.

Punten Catet:
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.
• 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.

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.

Kumaha Paké Loopback
Upami anjeun hoyong nganggo fitur Loopback, tuturkeun pitunjuk di handap ieu:

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 ongkos 176.4 jeung 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 Kirim Level. Saluyukeun jumlah audio anu anjeun hoyong kirimkeun ka aliran Loopback 1.

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).
Lamun modeu multichannel dipilih, kenop bakal ngadalikeun sakabeh volume speaker pakait sakaligus. Kanggo inpo nu leuwih lengkep tentang unggal pilihan Multichannel, ulangview daptar di handap:

• 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.

PERHATOSAN:
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

Salaku Interface Audio

• 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.

Pamakéan Mandiri (HD 8 ADAT Praamp ékspansi)
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.

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

Kalayan Kontrol Universal

• 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 Ngaran Supir

• 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.

Setélan Kontrol Universal anu Dipikagaduh saatos Daur Daya

• 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.

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.

Setup I / O Alat standar
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.
