How to freely assign dSnake inputs to any channel on QU-32?

[engineerjoel]

I have a QU-32 (firmware 1.95.4561) with an AR-2412 stage box. All has been working great. Though, I recently added an AB-168 and connected it via the “expander” port on the AR2412.
Under the ‘dSnake Out’ tab, the screen shows that AB-168 is “connected”. I can assign and route audio through any of the outputs on the AB-168 without problems. But, under the ‘dSnake In’ tab, the option will only allow me add an “expander input” to channels 25-32 on QU-32. I need to be able to freely select between local inputs(QU-32)? Main inputs(AR2412) or Expander inputs (AB—168) on any input channel of the QU-32. How can I configure the system to do this? Thanks for your support.

You need to go to the IO set up to the D Snake in tab.
the 2412 will be set up at least to start one to one, main 1 to channel 1 and on to
channel 24.
The AB168 in the expander port will be set with main 1 to channel 25 and on to channel 32.

Then you need to go the pre amp input set up screen and switch the needed inputs from local to D Snake, red to yellow.

In the IO set up menu is where you can assign any input on a stage box to be any channel on the mixer or a single stage box input could feed multiple channels on the mixer.

All the IO settings are saved as part of a scene.

I find the iPad Mix Pad APP the IO set up menu easier to use as is shows the routing in a matrix style grid.

Also remember if you need to squeeze in a couple more mic channel using a stage box you
can assign a stage box mic input to a stereo input on a QU.
