Q-SYS Control QuickStarts: Demystifying the role of "Control Frames" in QSYS

The "control frame" rate is the communication speed limit between the Control Engine and the Audio Engine inside of a Q-SYS core. The two engines synchronize states at 30 Hz. However, each engine runs independently of each other at incredible speeds! The Control engine runs "as fast as reasonably possible", which is at "ridiculous" speed. The Audio Engine runs at "ludicrous" speed!
