Experimental SQ testUse SQ MixPad offline for validation. Stereo links must be set manually; only fixture-verified bus, send, SLink output and FX fields are written.
How to load an exported SQ scene
- Back up the active SQ MixPad working directory.
- Close MixPad, then copy the downloaded
SCENE###.DATinto the intendedSHOWS/SHOW####folder. - Use an unused scene number, or deliberately replace that numbered scene. Do not replace
SHOW.DATorNVDATA.DAT. - Reopen the show in offline MixPad and recall that numbered scene. Check every mapped field before use.
!
Experimental WING testWING stereo channels follow the assigned Source mode, not a channel-link switch. Every generated snapshot must still be recalled and re-saved before live use.
How to load an exported WING snapshot
- Back up the active WING Edit Library working directory.
- Close WING Edit, then copy the downloaded
.snapfile into thatLibraryfolder. - Reopen WING Edit and recall the snapshot from its Library. It will not appear through the X32-style browse/open workflow.
- Check stereo Sources, patching and every mapped field, then save a fresh copy from WING Edit.

SIGNAL ORIGIN, POWER & ROUTING
Patching & 48V
Confirm desk routing, soft patches, source sockets, phantom power and Main L/R assignment.
UIN
X32 User In / soft patching is a two-stage route. The Source column shows the bank or User In slot feeding each channel. When a bank uses User In, source device and socket show its physical input; verified Local and AES50 edits are written back to the User In table on export.
X32 channel source banks
Choose one source family and one complete bank of eight for each channel group. Source banks may be reused by multiple channel groups.
WNG
WING source projection Channel strips point at WING Sources; stereo Source-pair mode is set with the source patch, then displayed in the input list.
WING source map

No channel-to-bus sends recorded.
GUARDED CONSOLE LEVEL EDITING
Advanced levels
Edit input faders, physical preamp gain and channel-to-bus sends for X32/M32 and XR18/X Air scenes.
!
Level and gain changes can cause sudden, dangerously loud sound. Any advanced edit activates protected export: input channels, mix-bus masters, matrices and Main L/R are exported muted. Their master fader levels cannot be edited here and remain unchanged.

Imported routing blocks are shown without guessing at unfamiliar values.
BEFORE SHOW DAY
Items to confirm
Keep uncertainties explicit and turn them into a practical advance list.
Export with confidence
The rider will always show unknown or unconfirmed routing instead of filling gaps with assumptions.
READ-ONLY ENGINE STATUS
Developer Notes
Research and experimental desk work is documented here without enabling hidden import or export features in Live Edition.
Behringer WING
JSON snapshot import/export research is available in Developer Edition. Stereo behaviour depends on WING Source mode and still requires WING Edit round-trip validation.
Allen & Heath Qu / Q112
Format analysis and fixture collection only. No native import/export support is exposed through the Live Edition.
DiGiCo Quantum 112
Research-only capture profile. No user-facing native file parser or writer is claimed.
