DAW Control GuidE
3-6 Duality Operator’s Manual
Channel Functions
In DAW focus mode, the channel meters, faders and part or all of the Solo and Cuts panels control the DAW
and display its status.

DAW Meters

In DAW focus mode, Duality’s channel meters flip to a stereo mode to indicate the level of
the DAW signal path. Mono tracks are displayed on the left meter only. When a signal
reaches 0dBFs, the corresponding OVL tally will light to indicate that the DAW signal level
has clipped.
The meters duplicate the function of meters within the DAW, and show the same
information. They also follow DAW pre or post fader meter settings, as set within the
DAW.
OVL tallies can be reset using the F1 function in the Fkys soft key menu

Status Indicators

The meter shows the status of the corresponding DAW track.
REC flashes when the track is in record ready and lights when the track is in record.
EDIT indicates that the track is selected for editing with the plug-in controller.

Multi-channel Metering (TDM Systems Only)

Multi-channel metering can be displayed by pressing OPTION + SOLO on a selected multi-channel track. The
next two stereo meters are used to show the additional information. Normal metering functionality resumes after
deselecting the SOLO function.

Channel Fader

The channel fader can control any virtual DAW fader including Channel, Master, Auxiliary,
MIDI tracks or Instrument tracks. The calibration of the fader will depend upon the DAW
(please refer to your DAW manual for more details). Pressing ALT will display the gain of
the DAW fader on the fader scribble strip when you move the fader.

Fader Grouping

Channel faders will follow any grouping enabled within the DAW. Faders can be
disengaged from a fader group simply by holding down the CTRL button or by touching
one fader in a group while adjusting another fader ’s level. Relative fader levels are
maintained upon release of the fader.
