CHANNEL CONTROL
Channel Scrolling
On sessions with more than 16 channels, the CHANNELand BANK switches allow you to choose
which DAW channels are controlled by the 16 Nucleus faders.
To scroll the Nucleus th rough the DAW cha nnels in increments of one, use the left and right
CHANNEL switches. To scroll in increments of 16 DAW channels, use the left and right BANK
switches.
Note that a channel scrolling function can also be assigned to the Nucleus jog wheel via the Nucleus Remote. Select
TRACKSfor the Jog Wheel Default. See Page 24 for more details.
Logic users: Note that the tracks in the session may not appear on Nucleus in the order that they are displayed in the
ARRANGEwindow unless the ARRANGE Channel Strip View mode is selected in the Logic control surface set up menu.
Basic Channel Parameters
The channel faders and the three switches above them are used for basic control of the DAW channels selected using the
CHANNELand BANK scrolling functions described above:
- The Nucleus fader controls the DAW channel fader
- The Nucleus CUTand SOLO switches control the DAW channel cut and solo functions.
Note that there is a DAW SOLO LED to the right of the Nucleus logo which lights whenever the solo function is active
within the DAW.
- The Nucleus SELswitch is used to select the channel in the DAW, for purposes such as channel naming. The switch lights
to indicate that it’s corresponding DAW channel is selected. It can also be used for track arming (by pressing the centre
section RECswitch – see below), automation (using the centre section AUTOswitch – see below) and for assigning plug-
ins to the Nucleus plug-in editor (using the centre section PARAMswitch – see Page 36).
Channel Metering
DAW channel meters are replicated at the top of each Nucleus channel strip, above the Mode switch.
Track Arming
The channel SELswitches can be used as track arming switches. To do this, select the RECswitch above-left of the MONITOR
LEVELcontrol. You will notice that the SELswitches now light red and emulate the status of the channel record ready indicator.
Once the RECswitch is deselected, the RECLED just below the relevant channel meter lights to indicate ‘Record Ready’ status.
Automation Control
The DAW channel’s automation mode can be controlled by selectin g the AUTO switch above-left of the MONITOR LEVEL
control. Use the channel SEL switches to select which channel’s automation mode is being edited, then press the V-Sel
switches to trigger the mode shown in the lower row of the display above them. The upper row of the display will indicate the
selected mode for the selected channel.
Note that the automation modes can be accessed using the V-Sel switches in either side of Nucleus.
HUI Users: Single-letter indication of automation modes can be permanently displayed after the channel name in the
upper row of the display – this is determined by Show Auto Mo de in the DAW t ab of the Remote. Write modes are
indicated by a flashing
W
, read modes by a flashing
R
, and Off is indicated by no flashing letter. See the Nucleus Remote
Section for more information.
