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).

Note:
Maksimum sample rate possible for both Android and Android+ modes is 48 kHz.

Universal kontrol

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

Universal kontrol giver følgende:

  • 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.
  • Overvågning med lav latens. Brug af Universal Control eliminerer den latens, der er forbundet med DAW I/O-buffering, hvilket gør overvågning problematisk for udøveren. Ved at fjerne DAW's softwareindgangsovervågningsfunktion fra overvågningssignalstrømmen helt, er behovet for at justere I/O-bufferstørrelser og latens ikke længere et problem.
  • Send / Cue Busser. Universal Control har stereo aux-busser, med uafhængige sendeniveauer pr. indgang.
  • Konfigurationsstyring (Scener). Universal Control-konfigurationer kan gemmes og indlæses til/fra disk som Scener, for bekvem og ubegrænset sessionsstyring.

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 Sats. Ændrer sample sats. Du kan indstille sample rate til 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 eller 192 kHz. En højere sample rate vil øge troværdigheden af ​​optagelsen, men dette vil også øge file størrelse og mængden af ​​systemressourcer, der er nødvendige for at behandle lyden.
  • Urkilde. Indstiller den digitale urkilde. Fra denne menu kan du indstille urkilden for din Quantum HD-grænseflade. Internt, Ekstern S/PDIF, Ekstern ADAT eller Wordclock (kun 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.
  • Outputformat. Detaljer om din enheds outputkanaler og bitrate.
  • Firmware. Viser den aktuelle firmwareversion.
  • Serienummer. Viser dit Quantum-serienummer.

  • Power Button. Turns the mixer on or off. Turning the mixer “off” bypasses the mixer in Universal Control, which can be helpful if you would like to mix and create cue mixes directly in the DAW.

Kanal overview

Kanalindgange

  • Hver kanalinputstrimmel styrer en tilsvarende Quantum-hardwareindgang eller virtuel input. Udgangen af ​​alle kanalindgange er altid ført til hovedudgangene 1 og 2 (undtagen når de er slået fra). Indgange kan valgfrit dirigeres til andre udgange via Sends og FlexChannel-kontrollerne. Universal kontrolkanalindgange er stort set de samme for alle indgange; der er dog nogle forskelle mellem de analoge og digitale indgange som angivet nedenfor.

Scener
Universal Control giver dig mulighed for at oprette og gemme et bibliotek af "scener". En scene er som et snapshot af dit mix: Den gemmer hver kanalparameter for hver analog indgang, såvel som hver faders position, aux-mixene, kanal-mutes og soloer osv.

Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (21)

Scener giver metoder til at administrere Universal Control-mixerkonfigurationer som brugerdefinerede forudindstillede files. When a Universal Control Scene is saved, the current Universal Control configuration is saved to your computer. When a Scene is subsequently reloaded, Universal Control is returned to the same configuration state, regardless of any changes to Universal Control that were made in the interim.

Brug af Universal Controls mixer

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.Fender-Quantum-HD-Software-fig (24)

Sådan bruger du Loopback
Hvis du ønsker at bruge Loopback-funktionen, skal du følge vejledningen nedenfor:

  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-hastigheder på 176.4 og 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 Send niveau. Juster mængden af ​​lyd, du vil sende til Loopback stream 1.
    • Loopback 2 Send niveau. Juster mængden af ​​lyd, du vil sende til Loopback stream 2.
  4. Når du har justeret Loopback-sendeniveauet, vil du bemærke, at måleniveauer vises i den DAW- eller softwareapplikationskanal, du har konfigureret. Når lysmåling vises, er du klar til at begynde at optage lyd.

ADVARSEL:
Sørg for, at kanalen i din DAW er slået fra, før du optager, for at undgå feedback-loops.

Quantum multikanal
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).
Når en flerkanalstilstand er valgt, vil knappen styre al tilsvarende højttalerlydstyrke på én gang. For mere information om hver af Multichannel-mulighederne, vedrview listen nedenfor:

  • 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)

ADVARSEL:
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

Som en lydgrænseflade

  • 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.

Standalone brug (HD 8 ADAT Preamp Udvidelse)
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.

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

Med universel kontrol

  • 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-drivernavne

  • 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.

Universelle kontrolindstillinger, der bibeholdes efter Power Cycle

  • 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.

Note:
Ændringer gemmes ikke øjeblikkeligt. Tillad venligst op til 10 sekunder, før indstillingerne gemmes på enheden, før du slukker.

Med en DAW (uden Universal Control)

  • Når den bruges med en DAW, men uden Universal Control-applikationen, styrer DAW al signal I/O-routing og softwareovervågning.

Overvågning med DAW

  • Universal Controls primære funktion er at overvåge Quantums input under live-optræden. Når softwareovervågning er aktiveret i DAW, skal Universal Control-indgangsovervågning deaktiveres for at eliminere fordoblede signaler.
  • Sørg for at deaktivere inputmonitorering i Universal Control, når du bruger softwaremonitorering via DAW'en. Hvis Universal Controls inputmonitorering ikke er deaktiveret (lydløs kanal, fader nede eller mixerbypasset), phasing og/eller fordobling af det/de overvågede signal(er) vil forekomme, fordi indgangssignalet høres to gange – først fra DSP-mixet med lav latens (Universal Control) og kort derefter fra softwaremixet med højere latens (DAW).

Sådan deaktiveres inputovervågning i Universal Control

  • For at deaktivere inputovervågning i Universal Control, når du bruger softwareovervågning i DAW, skal du åbne Universal Control og slå alle inputkanaler fra i Universal Control eller aktivere "Bypass Mixer" i Indstillinger. Universal Control kan derefter lukkes.
  • Brug af en DAW uden Universal Control er en typisk arbejdsgang under mixdown, hvor overvågning med lav latens ikke er påkrævet, og bufferforsinkelse ikke er et problem, fordi sporene allerede er optaget. Når du optager nye spor, anbefales DAW- og Universal Control-arbejdsgangen (som beskrevet i det følgende afsnit).
  • I dette scenarie fungerer Quantum som en lydgrænseflade. DAW'en tilgår og dirigerer Quantums lydgrænseflade I/O via enhedsdriverne. Audio I/O latenstid bestemmes af indstillingen I/O Buffer Size.

Med en DAW (med Universal Control)

  • Universal Control bruges samtidig med en DAW, når der ønskes overvågning med lav latens. Denne arbejdsgang eliminerer fuldstændigt I/O-bufferforsinkelser forbundet med softwareovervågning. I dette scenarie bruges Universal Control til at styre al inputovervågning under optagelse, og DAW's softwareovervågningsfunktion bør være deaktiveret.

Softwareovervågning versus hardwareovervågning

  • Softwareovervågning (lytning til live-input via DAW-mixeren) har mærkbar latenstid på grund af audio-interface I/O buffering. Hardwareovervågning via en lydgrænseflades interne DSP-mixer (f.eks. Universal Control-applikationen) har ikke mærkbar latenstid, fordi live-lyden internt dirigeres direkte fra indgangene til udgangene uden DAW I/O-buffering.

Overvågning med Universal Control

  • Universal Controls primære funktion er overvågning af Quantum-input under live-optræden. Når den bruges sammen med en DAW, bruges Universal Control som en monitormixer, der fungerer separat fra DAW's softwaremonitormixer.
  • Sørg for at deaktivere Software Monitoring i DAW'en, når du bruger Universal Control. Når Universal Control bruges til live input monitoring med en DAW, skal DAW'ens softwaremonitoreringsfunktion være deaktiveret. Hvis den ikke er det, skal duasing og/eller fordobling af det/de overvågede signal(er) vil forekomme, fordi indgangssignalet høres to gange – først fra DSP-mixet med lav latens (Universal Control) og kort derefter fra softwaremixet med højere latens (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).

Enhedens nulstilling
Hvis du støder på et problem med din Quantum, og du skal nulstille enheden, kan du nulstille til standardenhedsindstillingerne eller vende tilbage til en tidligere firmware.

Standard enhedsindstillinger
Om nødvendigt kan du gendanne standardmixeren (preamp gain, output levels, etc.) and system settings (speaker switching modes, headphone mix sources, etc). To restore the default system settings:

  • I Universal Control skal du navigere til Indstillinger (tandhjulsikon)
  • Tryk på knappen "Fabriksindstilling".
  • En bekræftelsesboks vises
  • Vælg "Nulstil" for at bekræfte eller "Annuller" for at annullere nulstillingen

Vend tilbage til forrige firmware
Sådan vendes tilbage til en tidligere firmware:

  1. Afinstaller den aktuelle version af Universal Control
  2. Installer den version af Universal Control, der har den tidligere firmware
  3. Med Quantum tændt, åbn Universal Control og klik på "Opdater firmware"
  4. En meddelelse vil sige, at din firmware er up-to-date og skal opdateres alligevel
  5. Vælg "Opdater alligevel" og følg processen

Note:
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. Vælg Quantum som både afspilnings- og optageenhed.
  4. Konfigurer enhver anden lydenhed eller behandlingsindstillinger som ønsket.
  5. Klik på OK.

I/O-opsætning

  • 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.

Tildeling af hardware I/O til software I/O-kanaler

  • Hardwareindgange og -udgange er tildelt software I/O-kanaler i en matrixrouter, som er en visuel repræsentation af routingen. Softwarekanaler (mono og stereo) får hver en vandret række, og hardwareindgange og -udgange får lodrette kolonner. De punkter, hvor disse rækker og kolonner skærer hinanden, repræsenterer potentielle forbindelser eller ruter mellem hardware-I/O- og software-I/O-kanalerne.
  • 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.
  • For at oprette en rute mellem software-I/O-kanaler og hardware-I/O skal du klikke på den tomme firkant i skæringspunktet mellem den ønskede hardware-input eller -output og softwarekanal-input eller -output. En farvet firkant vises med en M-, L- eller R-label, der angiver, om ruten er en monorute (M) eller venstre eller højre side af en stereorute (L eller R).
  • Bemærk: Ved højere 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-hastigheder højere end 96 kHz. Utilgængelige ADAT-kanaler er angivet i kursiv tekst på Input-, Output-, Bus- og Insert-siderne i I/O-opsætningen.

Quantum Input Setup
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.

Default Device I/O Setup
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.

Integrerede kvantefunktioner
