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
