DAW Channel Count
– Select the total number of channels dedicated to DAW control (8-48 in steps of 8). If
you change this figure you will need to change the number of controllers assigned in the DAW.
DAW Centre Section
– Select the MIDI port that connects the console’s centre section master controls to the
DAW; normally MIDI 1. If you are using one of the MCU Logic protocols, and you change this item, you will need
to change the control surface layout in the DAW application.
DAW Interface
– Select from HUI, Logic Audio, Nuendo, Digital Performer, Sonar.
For further details on DAW hardware installation, please read the Duality Installation Manual.
Refer to your DAW manual for information on how to configure its software. Once configured and connected,
communication with the DAW will be initialised, and the level of Duality’s channel faders, rotary controls and
master functions will be set to match the DAW controls (provided you are ‘DAW Focus’ mode).
If the Duality console is not found, your DAW will inform you that a controller is not present. If MIDI
communications fails on any bay, recheck the DAW configuration, MIDI connections and MIDI interface for
correct operation.
When using your DAW without the Duality console, you should remove Duality from the MIDI controllers section
of your DAW (please see information specific to your DAW for this).
Overview
Duality’s faders, and its Solos and Cuts panels, can be switched between controlling the analogue audio signal
path and the DAW by pressing the Console Focus button – see below. The Motion Controls, Master Control
Panel and Plug-in Editor always control the DAW. The illustration above indicates those console elements that
relate directly to a DAW in ‘DAW Focus Mode’.
