Operation
The following presumes all hardware/software has been configured
correctly and the DAW button is lit and the Genesys is a 16 channel
console.
If the DAW has been configured incorrectly or there is no DAW
communication, the message 'Waiting for DAW..... Port # x' will be
displayed on each panel when you press the DAW button (where x is the
number of MIDI Port assigned to that panel).
Due to the limitation of the 4-character display on the faders, the DAW
track names will be truncated when displayed on Genesys.
The four DAW encoders found at the bottom of the Monitor Panel (as
shown in the image to the left in red) are used to control DAW
parameters, levels, and buttons. The console faders on Genesys control
the DAW faders.
In DAW mode when controlling Sends (Aux), Pans, Plug-ins:
• The F5 button is used as a FLIP control. With the F5 button lit,
FLIP mode is on, it will swap the Genesys faders between
controlling the actual DAW fader level itself to controlling the
Sends (Aux) or Pans or Plug-ins levels/positions.
In Nuendo/Cubase the FLIP mode (on) will actually swap the
DAW faders to the Ch V-Pots, therefore the Ch V-Pots will be
controlling the fader levels.
The ◀ and ▶ buttons will assign tracks to the DAW encoders, four at a
time (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16... then back round again etc.).
The tracks assigned to the encoders are indicated on the console surface
by lighting a block of four SEL leds just above the Genesys faders (left).
Tip:
When a block of 4 SEL buttons is lit in this way, you can immediately set
any other block of 4 to the encoders by pressing any one of the SEL
