The Duality SE console has sixteen (eight in, eight out) MIDI ports on the rear panel of the console. Duality SE
emulates multiple HUI or MCU controllers depending on the control surface support required by the layer’s DAW.
In the SSL / Misc / Setup menu, toggle the MIDI connects via: setting to MIDI Ports. Note that changing
this setting will require a console reboot before they take effect: hold down the Restart softkey and press the
Confirm softkey which appears to its right.
Note that MIDI port 8 IN is used exclusively for MTC and MMC messages required by the console
automation system; port 7 is currently unused.
When MIDI connects via Network is selected the console’s physical MIDI ports 1 and 2 are
mapped to ipMIDI ports 15 and 16, in order to allow keyboards and other MIDI input devices with
conventional MIDI connections to be connected via the network.
Note also that when using these MIDI ports, only one DAW layer can be used.
If the Duality SE console is not found, your DAW will inform you that a controller is not present. If MIDI
communications fails on any bay, recheck the DAW configuration, MIDI connections and MIDI interface for correct
operation.
When using your DAW without the Duality SE console, you should remove Duality SE from the MIDI controllers
section of your DAW (please see information specific to your DAW for this).
For more information, please see the Duality SE Installation Manual.
