When QC is used as a sound card, you don’t need it to shine all the time, especially at night, therefore, a command to turn off the screen is needed, as well as several triggers will be useful to make the device more intelligent and economical. These features should be available as options in global…

Turning on/off in response to usb connection/power would be incredible :100:

I use the QC as a desk rig and audio interface, the screen is on all the time, so it would be great to have a screen saver option for when not using with an option to turn off time limits etc.

One more vote, i was looking to make a new thread to ask if it was possible to do !!! Yes for those who want to use the QC as the main soundcard (reason also i bought it, my choice was a new soundcard or sell my kemper and by the QC ) it is must have feature !!! Main soundcard often is On for very…

you got my vote on this one. this would be a great addition.

Perhaps activate the screen saver after a period of time with no major active signals, and then come out of screen saver mode when the screen or any control is touched, or when …

I voted a while back for options for the power button. I use mine as a desktop and would like to be able to set it so a quick push puts it to sleep and then wakes it up. Now I have to hold it then select sleep and when I try to wake it up inevitably I hold it too long and I get the selection scree…

Press and hold the power button and select standby from the pop-up. When you’re ready to continue, tap the power button and you’re instantly back up n rockin’.

Standby isn’t really what one would think comparing it to standby/sleep of e.g. a laptop. It just turns of the screen and mutes the outputs IIRC. It draws a good amount of power (and gets / stays pretty warm) in standby.
