No, SQ series doesn’t sends MIDI message when you press select button.
Only way to get this message is use direct TCP/IP connection (like doing MixPad software), but there aren’t any documentation how to perform that.
I think you have to sniffing messages over tcp to knowing how this connection works and what commands pass by.

On SQ select Processing / Compressor then press Library and select “Ducker Mode”.

The signal used for side chain is not affected by Mute but there is a trick for that, simply:

– route all voice mics to a group
– use group to side chained ducker channel

I know that my formula has a bit error, only for average I using. I arrived to write “db_level * 119” because the average distance from one dB to another is “119” (0111), sometimes 118 and sometimes 120.

I think A&H’s calculations are also not accurate and in some cases what you send is not always interpreted correctly by SQ. Ad example, I send pan level to SQ for centering (3F & 7F like indicated in table of the manual) and after 200 ms I ask to it for that value: it reply with “3E & 22” (difference of 0xDD) that it is about “Left 3%”.

If I will find a way to improve the formula, I’ll share it with you. Hope you will do the same! (or A&H technicians unravel the mystery)

The linear taper value is a decimal integer value between 0 and 16,383 and divided into two hexadecimal values that are both part of the value in binary mode: VC and VF.

VF is the last 7 bits of the value and VC is what remains after removing the last 7 bits.

Example: if you have a value of 15.196 (0 dB) the binary (max 14 bits) representation is 11101101011100 and hexadecima values are

VC = 1110110 = 0x76
VF = 1011100 = 0x5C

Other example: value 8,056 (about -60 dB) is 1111101111000 so

VC = 111110 = 0x3E
VF = 1111000 = 0x78

I’ve developed a formula that returns decimal values from dB level:

decimal = integer_part(15196 + (db_level * 119))

I use this logical into my Companion module for SQ. I hope it will be useful to you.

Feedbacks usually on Companion permit to change button color when specific event return a certain value. In this module, you’ll be able to change button color when Mute / PAFL is pressed and not, so you have a visual feedback status of the console button.

[MaxKiussoParticipant]

Not only that function. You will be able to:

Functions:
Mutes
Faders and Pan
Mix and FX sends: Level, Pan, Assign
Matrix sends: Level, Pan, Assign
Groups: Assign (Level, Pan in mix mode)
Mute Groups: Assign, Mute
DCA Groups: Assign, Level, Mute
PAFL select
Scene Recall
Preamp (local): 48V
MMC Transport Control

Special functions:
Feedbacks: Mutes, PAFL
Presets: Mutes, PAFL
Variables: Fader level, Send level, Channel name, Current scene
Step level increment: Fader level, Send level
Scene step increment (+/- 10)
