5. Operational Overview

Once your Duende hardware and software has been properly installed, Duende plug-ins are accessed and used just like any host-based plug-in. You can run Duende plug-ins simultaneously with your other host based plug-ins in any combination.

All Duende plug-ins support up to 40bit 96kHz operation. Please note that Duende plug-ins use twice as much DSP resources at 96kHz.

Duende parameters are changed by dragging, rotating or clicking knobs and buttons, whose behavior varies slightly depending on which software is being used to host the plug-ins. Generally the further away the mouse pointer is from the knob, the more resolution is available for parameter adjustment.

When the mouse cursor is hovered over a knob it’s value is displayed in the appropriate units. At any point you can see exactly what value a knob has without touching it. If you have a mouse with scroll wheel, it can be used to change the knob position.

OS X:

To reset a knob to its default value hold 'COMMAND' whilst clicking on that knob.

For very fine adjustment, hold 'SHIFT' whilst dragging.

Windows XP:

To reset a knob to its default value hold 'CTRL' whilst clicking on that knob.

Every Duende plug-in parameter can be automated so long as parameter automation is supported by the host application. The method for recording and editing automation varies from host to host. For specific instructions on using automation with the host consult the host application documentation.
