Solid State Logic 82S6DUA20C The Master Control Panel (HUI Mode)

Master Control Panel

Duality Operator’s Manual 3-3

D-pots

Each channel has a continuous rotary control or ‘D-pot’ The Plug-in Editor (HUI Mode only) has four D-pots for

control of plug-in parameters.

Console Focus

The console can be selected to one of two important modes using the Console Focus button (8), located on the

Master Control Panel. This switches the channel meters, faders, solo and cut buttons between control of the

analogue signal path and the DAW. When the Console Focus button is illuminated, Duality is in ‘Analogue Focus

Mode’. When the Console Focus button is not illuminated, Duality is in ‘DAW Focus Mode’. This section

describes operation of the console in DAW Focus Mode.

Analogue Focus Mode

The channel faders control the channel audio output level for that fader. The channel meters indicate analogue

input/output levels for that channel. The channel D-pots are available to control DAW parameters.

DAW Focus Mode

The channel faders control DAW fader levels. The meters indicate DAW track levels. The channel D-pots are

available to control other DAW functions such as pan or send level.

Digital ‘In-line’ Mode

When the console is in DAW Focus Mode, analogue level control can be assigned to the D-pots by pressing the

CHANNEL button (1) on the Master Control Panel.

The Master Control Panel (HUI Mode)

The Master Control Panel contains a mixture of master functions and modifier buttons for DAW control:

Channel Banking Controls (6)

Duality can have up to 96 touch sensitive moving faders. However, you can only have a maximum of 48 faders

assigned to DAW control in HUI mode, and Pro Tools only supports 4 HUI controllers, giving a maximum of 32

faders. If the DAW session has more tracks than this, Duality can ‘bank flip’ its faders to control any number of

virtual faders within the DAW.
