Hello to the collective Allen Heath minds out there. I am finally getting around to working with the Custom Layer on the Qu-Pac using my iPad. The manual references synchronizing a Qu-Pad custom layer to the mixer custom layer but nowhere on my iPad nor on the Qu-Pac can I find the referenced iPad settings menu “Qu-Pad” item. I know this has to be simple but my 73 year old brain is having a problem with it. Any help will be appreciated. I am running the current firmware on both the Qu-Pac and iPad.
You can synchronise one of the Qu-Pad custom layers to the mixer custom layer using an iPad option:
Custom tab 1 follows Qu custom layer option – Go to the iPad Settings menu ‘Qu-Pad’ item:
Off (default) = Qu-Pad presents ‘Custom 1’, ‘Custom 2’, ‘Custom 3’. These are independent of the mixer custom layer.
On = Qu-Pad presents ‘Custom Layer’, ‘Custom 2’, ‘Custom 3’. ‘Custom Layer’ is the same as the mixer custom layer.
‘Custom Layer’ can be assigned using Qu-PadThanks for the help, Phil

As you have found you can set the QU Pad app custom layer 1 to follow the mixers custom layer.

2022/08/11 at 5:38 pm #108444psikesParticipantMy problem is that I have not a clue where the iPad Settings Menu referenced below is located. I have been through every menu on the Qu-Pac itself as well as all of the menu items in the Qu-Pad app and find nothing even close to that name or function. I have a Custom layer that I would like to have as Custom layer 1 on my iPad but getting it from toe Qu-Pac to the iPad at this point eludes me. I would surely appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

2022/08/11 at 6:13 pm #108445psikesParticipantI was finally able to locate the iPad setting menu. Apps were not being displayed on the iPad Settings screen as they should have been. I closed all apps and the Qu-Pad app and others that I use appeared. What a weird problem. All is well and I have my Custom App available on the iPad finally.
THanks, Phil

Good luck, happy for you it got sorted !

2022/08/12 at 2:29 am #108456psikesParticipantThanks Giga, I have a soft key assigned to save the current scene. It is nice getting back into the Qu-PAC again after not having used it much for the last two years.
2022/12/17 at 8:19 pm #110480JohnKParticipantAre we still limited to 3 custom layers on Qu-Pad? I could use 4 … Thx.
2022/12/17 at 11:46 pm #110481GigaParticipantYes. You can however scroll sideways to populate and see more channels. Also, I noticed my 10,5″ iPad shows 9 channels instead of 8 on the smaller iPads.

A couple times where I needed more custom layers on the app I set it to follow the
mixers custom layer, built the needed custom layers and save each to scene, blocked
all the other changes and recalled the layer scenes as needed. -
