27.0 DAW Control
A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) can be controlled from the Vision control surface using the Human
User Interface (HUI) protocol over MIDI. The following DAW controls can be operated from the console
hardware:
• Fader
• Mute
• Solo
• Record Ready
A total of thirty-two (32) DAW channels can be controlled from the console’s channel faders and
associated switches. There are four (4) control units that can map the data from one of the console
Fader Control Modules (FCM) to one of eight (8) MIDI ports on the back of the Automation Control
Module (ACM). Each unit can control eight (8) DAW channels.
The Control Surface & MIDI Setup window is also used to select a MIDI port for MIDI Timecode (MTC)
for synchronization of the automation system over MIDI.
27.1 Control Surface Controls
The DAW can be controlled from the Fader 1 and/or Fader 2 controls, depending on the
mapping of the Fader Control Modules (FCMs) to the MIDI ports.
Vision faders and mutes are mapped directly to the associated DAW controls, but “solo” and
“record ready” functions must be operated from alternate controls. For solos, this is the case
since the Vision solo system uses a logic system that is separate from the automation system.
Therefore it is necessary to “borrow” a switch to solo a DAW track. Since there is no “record
ready” switch or button on the Vision, another switch is “borrowed” to provide this function.
Console controls are mapped to the DAW as follows:
FADER 1 = DAW
Fader = Fader
Mute = Mute
Mute Write = Solo
Record Ready = Write (bottom automation button)
FADER 2 = DAW
Fader = Fader
Mute = Mute
Fader 2 Insert = Solo
Record Ready = Write (bottom automation button)
Engaging Solo: Normal or Solo: Groups in the Global Functions window will replace the function
of the MUTE buttons with an additive solo-in-place function console wide. Refer to section
26.8.2 Global Automation Functions for detailed information regarding these alternate solo
modes
