Operation
The following presumes you are in DAW mode and the
DAW
button is lit
and the Genesys is a 8 channel console.
The
DAW
LED
will light below the 8T faders to show valid communication
has been established.
If Pro Tools has been configured incorrectly or there is no DAW
communication, the message '
Waiting for DAW..... Port # x
' will be
displayed on each panel when you press the
DAW
button (where
x
is the
number of MIDI Port assigned to that panel).
Due to the limitation of the 4-character display via HUI, the Pro Tools
track names will be abbreviated when displayed on the Genesys faders.
The four DAW encoders found at the bottom of the Monitor Panel (as
shown in the image to the left in
red)
are used to control DAW
parameters, levels, and buttons. The console faders on Genesys control
the DAW faders.
NB:
Where reference is made to the channel faders and channel fader SEL
buttons, these are only available on consoles which have the motorised
channel faders installed.
Please be aware that when Genesys is the controlling DAW faders, these
fader levels will not form part of any Recall or snapshot file saved on
Genesys, and will therefore not be available for restoring at a later time
through Genesys. The DAW fader levels are stored by the DAW, and do
not form part of the Genesys Recall or snapshot files.
However, the underlying levels of the Genesys audio input faders
will
be
stored & recalled, even though they might not have been available for
control when the Recall store or snapshot was taken.
AUX
u
Press the
AUX
button (the button will light).
u
Use the fader
SEL
buttons to select which tracks you wish to assign to
the 4 DAW encoders or use the
t
&
u
buttons. The fader SEL buttons will
light red to indicate which tracks are being controlled by the encoders.
•
Pressing
t
or
u
sets the DAW encoders to control the next or previous
4 tracks.
•
When 1-4 faders SEL is on (red) encoders are controlling Auxes 1-4.
•
Press
u
and you will now be controlling Auxes 9-12.
•
Press
u
again and you will now be controlling Auxes 13-16.
•
Press
u
once more and now the encoders will loop around back to
controlling Auxes 1-4.
•
The same applies to using the
t
but now the control will cycle in
reverse.
u
Turn the encoders to change the Aux level.
u
Pressing the relevant encoder (down like a push-button) will turn that
Aux On/Off (mute) for that track.
u
Pressing
F1 – F5
changes the Auxes being controlled by the encoders
from
A – E
respectively (on all tracks), i.e. if you have more than one Aux
per track, up to 5 can be controlled by the encoders per track
.
u
Press
F1
to control
Aux A
and then hold down
F1
and
press the
encoder
, it will toggle the selected Aux for that track (on the first row of
Auxes in Pro Tools) between
Pre
- and
Post-
fader.
