Known Issues

• Degraded performance with higher channel strip counts (50+).Please contact Q5X support for assistance.
• On Windows 10 and 11, the application fails to load after the main window, or any of its sub-windows are moved to a secondary screen and then closed while in the secondary screen. This behaviour was observed on a subset of test computers and was not isolated to this specific release. To recover from this situation, disconnect the secondary monitor and re-launch the application. Move or resize the application before closing or before re-connecting the secondary monitor.
• Exporting an empty session will fail to create an export file.
• Multiple instances of the application can be created. If this happens, only the first instance will have control of the connected QG device.
• Changes to a QG’s control channel, made directly on the QG’s UI while connected via USB, do not propagate back to the SW and may cause request for changing the control channel from the SW to fail. If this happens, restart the SW or disconnect and reconnect the QG device.
• Setting the Axient Metering Period to an invalid value (eg. non-numeric) will stop the device sending status updates. To resume receiving status updates, set the Metering Period to a valid value.
