This started as a simple question, then I found I had more.
Re the “48 inputs:” Is that 48x mono channels, or is it a fixed number of mono+stereo channels? (eg the GLD is “48 input processing channels,” but really it’s 44x mono + 2x stereo, can’t get 48x mono, and the Qu32 is 32mono +3x stereo, can’t get 38x mono.)
Is it like the Qu in terms of the “ST3” input is either the 3.5mmTRS socket on top of the console OR a stereo return from the SQ-Drive (ie can’t use both at the same time,) or can I use them both simultaneously?
Any word on what’s possible in terms of stereo linking\ganging? Odd\Even only? Preamp gain\digital trim included?
Can dynamic processors (gates, comps) have a key filter source of something other than self? Do they have a “parallel path” option?
Finally, is it possible to mix and match digital sources (use signals from the expansion card, signals from the 32×32 USB interface and signals from the SQ drive all at the same time,) or is it limited like the Qu in that you have to choose whether your “USB” sources are going to either come from Qu-Drive or come from the USB-B interface?
