After this introduction, you will find a quick overview of Nucleus, followed by more detailed sections covering installation, use
of the Nucleus Logictivity Remote, and general Nucleus operation.
Conventions
Throughout this manual, the following conventions will be used:
• Labels found on the Nucleus control surface are indicated Like This.
• Labels and text found either in the Nucleus Remote or other computer dialogues are indicated Like This.
• The few instances where we refer directly to computer filenames etc. will be shown
Like This.
• Where necessary, DAW computer keyboard key strokes will be shown
like this whilst function keys (as opposed to normal
numbers, symbols and characters) such as the ‘Control’ key will be shown with ‘angle’ brackets such as
<Ctrl>.
• Where DAW protocol commands appear, the command or function will be shown with ‘curly’ brackets {
like_this}.
Notes and additional information appear like this.
• The Nucleus Logictivity Remote application will in some cases be abbreviated to just ‘Remote’.
• The Nucleus itself may be refered to either by name, as the ‘DAW controller’ or as the ‘control surface’.
Please be aware that screenshots shown may differ slightly in appearance from their on-screen equivalents.
Glossary
The following terms are either concerned with general DAW control, or specific Nucleus operations:

Soft Keys
Many switches on Nucleus can be programmed through the Nucleus Remote to perform DAW specific functions.
These switches are grouped together as ‘soft key sets’.
USER
The USER 1 and USER 2 switches located in the centre section area of Nucleus are used to apply soft key sets to
the switches above and below the scribble strip displays.
V-Pot
In-channel rotary encoder, used to control a variety of parameters. In Nucleus, the V-Pot is below the digital
display.
V-Sel
In-channel encoder switch, used to control a variety of parameters, often associated with the V-Pot. The switch
is activated by pressing the V-Pot. Note that the V-Sel switch is different from the channel select (SEL) switch.
