For information regarding the configuration of network connections, please see the Duality SE Installation
Manual.
In the SSL / Misc / Setup menu, accessible via the centre section TFT, the following options should be selected.
Toggle the MIDI connects via: setting to Network. Your console will now communicate with your workstation
via Ethernet.
Ensure that the DAW1 option (workstation layer 1) and DAW2 (workstation layer 2) are set to match your
workstation or workstations if you are using the second layer:
DAW 1: Select from Pro Tools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Performer / Sonar
DAW 2: Select from Pro Tools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Performer / Sonar / None
The MCU protocol supports automatic detection of connected control surfaces. To enable this select
Logic Handshake for the appropriate layer. Logic will then automatically detect Duality SE. If you select Logic
Handshake on both layers then Logic will detect 12 control surfaces, which may not be what you want! The other
protocols do not transmit handshaking messages.
The DAW 2 switch toggles the front panel controls between the two DAWs.
It is possible for both DAWs to appear on different channel ranges within DAW layer 1. To do this, ensure that the
channel range for DAW 2 starts after the range for DAW 1 and toggle the Single Layer option to On. The
DAW 2 button in the centre section will now switch centre section control between the two DAWs
When using multiple DAWs, one DAW needs to be made the transport master, allowing the other DAW’s transport
controls to be locked to it via ReWire or MIDI timecode. To simplify operation in this mode the desk transport
controls can be locked to one DAW regardless of which one is currently selected. This is done in the SSL / Misc
/ Setup menu by toggling the Transport lock layer: option between OFF (the DAW on the currently selected
layer will be controlled), DAW 1 (desk transport controls DAW 1) or DAW 2 (desk transport controls DAW
2).
Note that changes to any of these settings will require a console reboot before they take effect: hold down the
Restart softkey and press the Confirm softkey which appears to its right.
