Why not "Home" ?

[StonepianoParticipant]

One of the first things that caught my eye, while looking at my new SQ5, was the missing “home”- button. Home-screen used to have the shutdown- tab, whereas now it seems that the only way to get to shutdown is making sure that nothing is selected. This feels a bit silly, checking all layers for a selected channel, before being able to shut down the console… is there a shortcut that I´m missing, or is this really the only way “home”?

Hi Stonepiano,

You are correct, there is no need for a ‘Home’ screen key as the SQ Home screen contains ‘Shut Down’, ‘Lock’ and a shortcut to the brightness settings.
These are all functions that do not require quick access so there is no need for a separate key.

However, you do not need to look through all the layers, a quick double tap (to select and deselect) on any channel’s Sel key will get you there faster 🙂

Hope this helps.
Keith.

Thanks Keith,

That was the trick I was looking for.

Last time at a festival I had a very nervous guest engineer on my sq-6. He always double clicked on the select buttons of a channel and was really irritated when he lands on the home screen.

In my opinion it would be smarter to acces the home screen via the menue or a soft key instead of the select buttons.

Just my 2cents

I am perfectly happy, and a lot less nervous now that I’m aware of the double- tap, which is actually not that quick, but relaxed… 😉
