Console OperationsCentral routing panelIn addition to the DAW transport controls and the console monitor pot, in dayto-dayoperation you will probably find you use this panel more than any other,so it’s worth taking a few minutes to fully understand its capabilities.This panel provides access to channel routing, signal processing order, and otherfacilities, on single or multiple channels. Channels can be selected in a contiguousrange or randomly across the console.Channels are selected to the panel by pressing the select button at the footof each channel fader. The channel TFT meter will be outlined in green toindicate the selected channel.Normally the routing panel is ‘off’ — ie all displays are blank. Pressing anychannel select button, or the + and – buttons (on the panel) together, wakesthe panel up with a single channel selected — this will be either the selectbutton channel or the first channel of the previous selection.Single channels can be selected at any time by pressing the channel selectbuttons or using the +/– buttons. The currently selected channel will be shownin the left hand (‘FROM’) window. The right hand display will be blank.To select a range of channels, press the tO button when a FrOM channel hasbeen selected. Initially, the next consecutive channel will be displayed in theright hand ‘tO’ window and indicated on the channel meter display. Toincrement the range either use the +/– buttons, or press a second channelselect button to select the highest channel in the range; the highest channel isshown in the tO window.Once a channel has been selected, The Central Routing Panel’s seleCtbutton allows non contiguous arrays of channels to be added or removed fromthe current selection. The seleCt button will flash when active and anychannel can added or removed from the current selection via the select buttonon its fader. If seleCt is active the all button can be used to select all theconsole channels.To deactivate the routing panel, press the + and – buttons simultaneously, orre-press the channel select button on the active channel, (if seleCt or tOare not active).Once a channel or range of channels has been selected, selections and changes made on the routing panel are made acrossall selected channels. If some functions are on and some are off on the selected channels, the lowest numbered channel inthe selection sets the initial state. For example, you select channels 3 to 6. If channel 3 is assigned to a bus, then the firstpress on that bus routing button will deroute channels 3 to 6 from that bus. If channel 3 is not assigned to a bus, then thefirst press on that bus routing button will route channels 3 to 6 to that bus.The CHan tO MF button assigns control of the fader and sOlO switch for the selected channel, as explained in theMaster Channel Fader and Mute in the previous section of this chapter.2-18 Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual
