Duality SE Operator's Manual - Solid State Logic

DaWseCtIOn 3: DaW COntrOlIntrODuCtIOnWhen connected to a Digital Audio Workstation that supports the HUI or Mackie Control Universal (MCU) controlprotocols, the Duality SE console becomes a powerful digital workstation control surface, giving direct access to the mostimportant controls within the DAW. The console faders can be used to control the workstation faders and sends, thechannel V-pots can be used to control pans, sends and I/O functions, and the Master Control Panel and plug-in controllerprovide easy access to a range of other parameters.Duality SE can connect to two DAWs simultaneously, enabling more complex multi-workstation sessions to be run withoutleaving the listening position.For an up to date list of compatible DAW applications please visit: http://www.solidstatelogic.com. This section of the manualis largely based on use with Digidesign’s Pro Tools package, with supplementary pages for other packages, whose functionalitywill depend on their implementation of the HUI or MCU control protocols.Duality SE communicates with connected DAWs using MIDI ports – either MIDI over Ethernet (ipMIDI) or the physical MIDIports located on the rear of the console.The console Installation Guide (see Section 8) details wiring and software installation for connecting via MIDI over Ethernetor conventional MIDI ports.DaW Controller Features summary• Direct access to all major DAW mixing, editing and automation parameters• MIDI connections over Ethernet• Direct control of plug-in settings• Integral colour TFT display with dedicated control buttons• High resolution rotary encoder (V-pot) on every channel provides control of DAW pans, sends and I/O routing, andfor MCU compatible applications, Plug-ins and Instruments• High quality motorised faders to write/replay level moves in your DAW• Simple switching between console layer and DAW control layer• Full remote control implementation• Operation independent of platform or applicationDuality se V3 Operator’s Manual3-1
