For most users, finding an integrated solution that answers all of their workingneeds is strongly desired. Duality SE achieves this to an extent and quality that has previously been unavailable.In addition, A-FADA (Analogue Fader Accesses DAW Automation) provides an innovative approach to analogue consoleautomation, utilizing the automation system of a DAW to control the analogue channel levels.Controller Features summary• Direct access to all major DAW mixing, editing and automation parameters via HUI and MCU protocols• Direct control of plug-in settings• Dedicated control processor to maximise console performance• Integral colour TFT display with dedicated control keys• High quality motorised faders to write/replay level moves in your DAW• Simple switching between console layer and DAW control layer• Two independent DAW layers or single Dual DAW layer option• Full remote control implementation• Operation independent of platform — works with Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Audio, and others• MIDI over Ethernet for enhanced control of two DAW systemssystem Options• Multi-operator Total Recall, including Autoscan, for accurate resetting of session parameters• Comprehensive automation based on SSL’s legendary Ultimation, including switch automation1-2duality se V3 Operator’s Manual
IntroductionabOut thIs ManualThis manual is divided into five main sections, and is designed to provide a comprehensive source of information for DualitySE console users. The table of contents will help you to familiarise yourself with the basic content of each section. If youare reading this from an electronic version of the manual, use the ‘bookmark’ feature to rapidly locate to virtually any topic.If you have not previously used an SSL console, you are advised to read the Duality SE overview at the start of Section 2.Those of you who have experience of SSL’s range of analogue consoles will have little difficulty getting to grips with theoperation of this console’s control surface; features that are specific to Duality SE are fully described in Section 2.To set-up and configure the software interface between Duality SE and your chosen DAW, please study Section 3. Thissection also covers the DAW functions that you can usefully control from Duality SE’s centre section.Finally, the last section in this manual is provided to hold useful appendices that you may be supplied with from time to time.Conventions usedSome typographical conventions have been used in this manual to help distinguish explanatory text from the text referringto console items. They are as follows:• Switch cap engravings on the console are usually in UPPERCASE (eg. SOLO).• Silk screened text on the console’s control surface can be either UPPERCASE (eg. DYNAMICS), or lowercase bold(eg. auto), or Titlecase (eg. Talkback Mix).• Any text on the console’s TFT screen is referred to in a bold typeface.Items of note or cautions are shown in italic with lines above and underneath.• Whenever this manual mentions the selection or pressing of a button, it is assumed that the button was not active(ie. not lit), and that this action has made it active (ie. it has become lit).• Similarly, whenever the manual mentions the deselection of a button (or pressing it again), it is assumed that it wasactive before the action, and has become inactive due to this action.Contacting solid state logicIf you cannot find the information you need on the pages of this manual, please refer to the Duality SE support pages atwww.solidstatelogic.comduality se V3 Operator’s Manual1-3
