Scope
This document applies to the Axia Quasar line of audio consoles and details the steps required to update to software v1.2. To begin, please download the software package here.
The features and fixes listed below also include updates included in Version 1.1. You do NOT need to update to version 1.1 prior to installing this update.
Most significant features of this release:
- Console UI - Show Profiles now display the date and time of the last modification.
- Console UI - Show Profiles page has a button to "Update Current". Clicking the Update Current button saves the current console state back to the currently loaded Profile.

- The eight, tough-sensitive user buttons on the Master Touch Screen module now have four banks. To enable user button bank switching, set the Layer Buttons Function to "User Button Bank Switching". Find this setting under the UI Options heading of the Customize options.
- Monitor section now fully supports LWCP (Livewire Control Protocol) EVENT and GET commands allowing third-party programs like Pathfinder Core PRO or IP-Tablet more control.
Other Functional improvements:
