For the Sonar template, as with the buttons that control the function of the channel SEL button with the HUI
protocol, SEL and RDY control whether the channel SEL button sends the SEL and REC/RDY MIDI codes.
EDIT is a dedicated function equivalent to the MCU EDIT/GLOBAL function located in the FADER BANKS
section. The display above the encoder shows the two-character plus decimal point Assignment window from the
MCU.
CHANNEL is unchanged and assigns Duality’s channel gain element or DAW channel to the D-pot according to
the state of the Console Focus button. The encoder switch is used to ‘flip’ parameters onto the faders as before,
but includes all processing parameters not just send levels.
The transport control buttons are designated as shown below:
Tallies are shown in the status area of the TFT screen for Loop ON/OFF, Jog Parameter, together with tallies for
Marker, Loop, Select and Punch. As the latter functions intercancel, they share the same on-screen area.
Keypad is not a direct MCU function but it will enable the numeric keypad 0….9 keys plus the ‘.’, ‘-‘, ENTER and
CLR keys for data entry. When operated, it send the codes that correspond to M1 ON, EDIT ON, EDIT OFF, M1
OFF and then enables the numeric keypad keys to send the MIDI codes that correspond to the 1 to 8 keys on
the Sonar overlay and the 4 TRACKS keys. ENTER mimics the main ENTER key, and CLR the CANCEL key. A
second operation of the KEYPAD button inhibits the numeric keypad from outputting MIDI codes, and should
send an EDIT ON, EDIT OFF command to cancel the mode.
Duality’s Sonar Control screen
The 8x8 menu button matrix is used to access three Sonar MCU function groups:
Fkys provides access to the eight functions keys. These are defined in Sonar and also output Edit commands in
conjunction with a Modifier key.
