Duality Operator’s Manual

Select Mode
With the
SEL
button (
5
) on the Master Control Panel selected, all the console’s channel
SEL
buttons become
track select buttons. They perform the same function as clicking on a channel in the DAW screen display.
A double click on a
SEL
button will open the channel naming pop-up for that channel. Multiple channels can be
selected by holding down the
SHIFT
button while selecting further
SEL
buttons or by holding down the first
SEL
button you pressed while you select more channels. Note that this latter method only works within blocks of
channels corresponding to a single HUI interface.
Hold down
OPTION
and press any
SEL
button to select all channels. Hold down
ALT
and press any
SEL
button
to invert the state of all select buttons.
Working with the Channel D-pots
The channel D-pots can control the DAW’s channel pan, send (aux) levels and pan, routing assignment and
analogue audio levels. Each D-pot also has a switch which is activated by pushing down on the D-pot.
The channel D-pot function is selected on the Master Control Panel by the Master Send D-pot (2) and six
associated buttons (
1
) and (
3
). The scribble strip above the channel D-pots shows which function is currently
selected. A further two buttons (
PRE/POST
and
MUTE
) change the function of the D-pot push switches.
Pan Mode
Select the
PAN
button on the Master Control Panel, and the channel D-pots become pan controls for the DAW.
The D-pot scribble strip displays
Pan
.
Pressing the
PAN
button a second time (it flashes in this mode) allows you to access a second pan control for
stereo channels, according to the DAW configuration. The D-pot scribble strip displays
Pan R
in this mode.
Press the
PAN
button again to return to normal pan mode. Holding down
ALT
displays a pan’s numeric value on
the channel scribble strip as you adjust the control.
Channel Mode
Select the
CHANNEL
button on the Master Control Panel, and the channel D-pots control the analogue gain of
the channel strip. The D-pot scribble strip will display the analogue fader number (eg
Fad 12
).
Switching to Analogue Focus mode will swap the analogue gain and the DAW gain between D-pot and channel
fader. Individual channels can be swapped by pressing the channel D-pot.
Send Mode
Select the
SEND
button on the Master Control Panel, and the D-pots become level controls for any sends or aux
send levels within the DAW.
The Master D-pot (
2
) selects which of the available sends (A-E or 1-5) is being controlled by the channel D-pots.
The selected send is shown in the display window above the Master D-pot (and on the channel D-pot scribble
strip). The channel scribble strips show the name of the currently selected send. Turning a channel D-pot will
alter the level of the selected send from that channel. Holding down the
ALT
button allows you to make fine
adjustments to the gain. See over the page on how to use faders to set send levels.
