SQ I/O Stereo Coupling can't change with Scenes

Hi Folks,

I’ve noticed that when I do stereo coupling (not Ganging) with any pair of Input or Mix channels that this coupling doesn’t track through scenes, meaning that if I have one scene that has, for example, Inputs 5 and 6 paired, but in another scene I’d need Inputs 5 and 6 separated, the stereo coupling doesn’t change from scene to scene. There doesn’t appear to be any Global settings or Safes for this.
I’m working at a venue that has different configurations that need to be called up a few times a week. If this behavior of Stereo coupling is intentional, and the scenes aren’t changing the stereo coupling, should I be saving the different configurations as Shows instead of Scenes?

Stereo channel configuration is stored in shows and can’t be varied from scene to scene.

As Phil said.

One way could be to have 2-3 stereo sets eg at IP 41/42, 43/44, 45/46, 47/48
Then in the scenes you need a stereo IP, you just have that on the surface.
You can save the patch and have both 5 + 6 use the same inputs as eg 41/42

Dang that’s sad it cant change in scenes. Just gang it.

It is a major irritation, particularly in small shared venues.

You might do well to follow this change request, where discussion is a little more positive than the usual “you can’t, just use shows, or gang channels” – neither of which are brilliant workarounds.

I have a new SQ-5. Can I use scene from my Avantis to populate my new SQ-5 or do I have to build from scratch? Both have DEEP processing and Rack effects.
If I can, what are the conditions to allow this to occur?

Hi Scott,
Just try and let us know.

Best Regards,
Tobias
