In addition to straightforward mixing and parameter
tweaking, a powerful DAW like Nuendo allows a
multitude of switching and selection operations that, if
not comprehensively organized, can disrupt an otherwise
smooth workflow. The Nuage Fader unit utility control
section keeps everything neatly organized for easy,
confusion-free access. CHANNEL VIEW controls switch
between mixer channel displays, SECTION CONTROL
controls allow convenient channel strip section switch-
ing, and DAW SELECT controls switch between multiple
DAWs connected to the Nuage system.
Organized Utility Section
The compact, rack-mount compatible dimensions of
Nuage components are an advantage to begin with, but
thoughtful features like producer desk surfaces and a
keyboard space built into the console palm rest take
space utilization efficiency to the next level. Like many of
the productivity features implemented in the Nuage
system, the space-saving aspects are based on invalu-
able feedback from professionals in the field.
Optimum Space Utilization

The most advanced, well-integrated channel strip control surface
for any DAW. Nuage Fader works with a standard 24” LCD
monitor to provide sweeping access to Nuendo mixing function-
ality, with deep integration and solid performance that can only
be achieved in a purpose-built system. Yamaha console know-
how meets Steinberg software excellence with beautiful results.
Any standard 24” LCD monitor display* can be used to
provide a smooth visual extension of the physical Nuage fader
channel strips right into the Nuendo mixer window. The
continuity between control surface and display achieved by
the Extensive Console View concept keeps all controls and
parameters in context so the operator can intuitively reach for
the right fader, button, or knob while concentrating fully on the
job at hand. 16 channels can be controlled at once with two
encoders per channel, or all encoders can be mapped to one
or two highlighted channels in the Channel Setting Mode.
A Brilliant Fusion of Hardware & Software
NUAGE FADER
Conceived and crafted for impeccable integration
with Nuendo mixing functions.
A Nuage system can connect to up to three DAWs that
can be brought online individually from the Nuage Fader
DAW SELECT controls. The various DAWs can be
located in separate studios or machine rooms where they
are used to handle separate elements of a large project,
and then brought together at the Nuage system for final
assembly and editing. And since Nuage includes HUI
control compatibility, it provides basic access to any HUI
compatible DAW that you might want to use as a player
or dubber.

In addition to a linear fader, each of the 16 channel strips
provided on each Nuage Fader unit includes two rotary encoders
– “knobs” – that are touch sensitive and also include an integral
push button. Each knob can control a number of parameters in a
number of ways. Normally the knobs function within their own
channel strip, allowing hands on control of 16 separate channels
at a time. But in the Channel Setting Mode all 32 knobs are
mapped to just one channel, allowing detailed control of multiple
parameters for that channel, or the knobs can be assigned to two
channels in 16-knob groups. All this versatility means the Nuage
Fader unit will mesh effectively with just about any workflow, and
even inspire new and improved ways of getting things done!
Multi-function Knobs
Now that everyone is thoroughly familiar with computer
trackpads, the Nuage Touch Slider will be easy. Simply
slide a finger along the horizontal Touch Slider strip to shift
Nuendo channels left or right in relation to the Nuage
Fader channel strips, use flick gestures to quickly shift a
larger range of channels, or use the “Bank Flick” feature to
flick channels in groups of eight. There are also customiz-
able channel layouts that bring important channels to the
surface with just one button press. Lock your stem or
master busses to the surface to access them at any time.
Touch Slider for Fast Channel Access
Nuendo channel names appear in the corresponding
Nuage Fader channel name displays, and the colors of the
illuminated knob surrounds and the bars below the
channel name displays match the colors of the Nuendo
channel type icons, so the operator can confirm channel
relationships at a glance.
