Channel Functions
Duality Operator’s Manual
3-9
Select Mode
With the SEL button (5) on the Master Control Panel selected, all the console’s channel SEL buttons become
track select buttons. They perform the same function as clicking on a channel in the DAW screen display.
A double click on a SEL button will open the channel naming pop-up for that channel. Multiple channels can be
selected by holding down the SHIFT button while selecting further SEL buttons or by holding down the first SEL
button you pressed while you select more channels. Note that this latter method only works within blocks of
channels corresponding to a single HUI interface.
Hold down OPTION and press any SEL button to select all channels. Hold down ALT and press any SEL button
to invert the state of all select buttons.
Working with the Channel D-pots
The channel D-pots can control the DAW’s channel pan, send (aux) levels and pan, routing assignment and
analogue audio levels. Each D-pot also has a switch which is activated by pushing down on the D-pot.
The channel D-pot function is selected on the Master Control Panel by the Master Send D-pot (2) and six
associated buttons (1) and (3). The scribble strip above the channel D-pots shows which function is currently
selected. A further two buttons (PRE/POST and MUTE) change the function of the D-pot push switches.
Pan Mode
Select the PAN button on the Master Control Panel, and the channel D-pots become pan controls for the DAW.
The D-pot scribble strip displays Pan.
Pressing the PAN button a second time (it flashes in this mode) allows you to access a second pan control for
stereo channels, according to the DAW configuration. The D-pot scribble strip displays Pan R in this mode.
Press the PAN button again to return to normal pan mode. Holding down ALT displays a pan’s numeric value on
the channel scribble strip as you adjust the control.
Channel Mode
Select the CHANNEL button on the Master Control Panel, and the channel D-pots control the analogue gain of
the channel strip. The D-pot scribble strip will display the analogue fader number (eg Fad 12).
Switching to Analogue Focus mode will swap the analogue gain and the DAW gain between D-pot and channel
fader. Individual channels can be swapped by pressing the channel D-pot.
Send Mode
Select the SEND button on the Master Control Panel, and the D-pots become level controls for any sends or aux
send levels within the DAW.
The Master D-pot (2) selects which of the available sends (A-E or 1-5) is being controlled by the channel D-pots.
The selected send is shown in the display window above the Master D-pot (and on the channel D-pot scribble
strip). The channel scribble strips show the name of the currently selected send. Turning a channel D-pot will
alter the level of the selected send from that channel. Holding down the ALT button allows you to make fine
adjustments to the gain. See over the page on how to use faders to set send levels.
