Solid State Logic Duality 82S6DUA20C - Manual (Page 23)

D-pot and DAW Control
Below the channel strips is a 12-wide panel containing a rotary encoder known as the
D-pot, together with its integral momentary switch mounted on the encoder shaft. This is
used to adjust the currently assigned DAW parameter or the analogue channel level;
D-pot functions are assigned from the centre section, and indicated in the D-pot’s
associated two line display.
The CUT and SOLO buttons above the encoder are used when the encoder is
controlling the DAW or Duality channel gain.
The electronic scribble strip displays the channel name, the name of a DAW track,
selected DAW send, or I/O data according to the function currently assigned on the
Master Control Panel (see Section 3). When the rotary control and the fader swap roles
for gain control, entries in the scribble strip also flip.
The SEL button operates the DAW ‘Selected Channel’ function. This function can be re-
assigned from the centre section, to track arm a selected DAW channel or assign the
‘plug-in’ editor (Pro Tools only). Tallies in the channel meter display Record Ready and
Edit status regardless of whether the console is in ‘DAW Focus Mode’ (see Section 3 for
more details).
Channel Cut and Solo
The CUT and SOLO buttons above the traditional scribble strip are used when a gain
function is assigned to the channel fader. SOLO is not active if a function other than the
channel level (DAW or console) is being controlled.
Channel Fader
The 100mm moving fader controls the analogue channel, or assigned DAW track, or the
DAW send level when the centre section ‘flip’ function is active (Pro Tools/HUI and MCU
interfaced DAWs), plus Plug-In parameters when using a MCU compatible DAW. The
required function is selected via the Master Control Panel (see Section 3 for details).
The fader button, and associated LEDs are used in conjunction with the DAW
automation (HUI interface only) or the optional Duality automation and ‘multi-operator’
Total Recall systems. The play and match buttons are used only with Duality
automation. See Sections 4 and 5 for more details.
The select button at the foot of the fader is used to select that channel to the central
routing panel, and for fader grouping (see below).
