Setting your workstation(s) to communicate via ipMIDI
The Duality SE software uses 16 virtual MIDI ports which are pre-assigned as follows:
* ipMiDI port 14 or hardware MIDI port 7 can be used as the MTC input, allowing MTC to be connected from systems
(such as RADAR) that do not support the ipMIDI driver. MTC should only be routed to one port at a time.
Note that there are now two switchable workstation layers allowing to independent workstations to be interfaced. Once
configured, you can switch between the two layers using the console’s SSL>DAW menu.
MIDI Port 14 – If your console is equipped with automation, this port is used to feed automation with MTC.
MIDI Ports 15 & 16 – Mapped to the conventional MIDI connectors on the rear of the console allowing connection of a
keyboard or other MIDI device to your DAW via ipMIDI.
To select which DAW is assigned to each layer go to SSL>MISC>SETUP on your console and select the following:
DAW 1 – Select from: Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Perfomer / Sonar
DAW 2 – Select from: Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Perfomer / Sonar / None
After making these changes the console should be restarted.
The MCU protocol supports automatic detection of connected control surfaces. To enable this select
Logic Handshake. Logic will then automatically detect the DUALITY. If you select Logic Handshake on both layers then
Logic will detect 6 control surfaces, which may not be what you want! The other protocols do not transmit handshaking
messages.
To enable control of your workstation via HUI or MCU your workstation(s) must be configured to match the appropriate
layer in the list above. This is done using the MIDI Controller configuration page of your workstation.
The following pages show examples using Pro Tools 7 and Logic Pro 8.
