DAW Track Control
A number of the parameters within the tracks of your DAW can be controlled using the lower section of the
Matrix channel strip. The Matrix controls which can be used in this way include:
- The blue shaft encoder located below the digital scribble strip, called the V-Pot,
- The momentary switch in the centre of the blue pot, called the V-Sel,
- The
CUT, SOLO and SEL buttons located beneath the blue pot,
- The channel fader.
The functions of the V-Pot, V-Sel button and
SEL
keys. Additional options and modes are available via
V-POT MODE and SEL KEY buttons described on Pages
76 and 77.
When in DAW Focus mode, the channel
CUT button mutes the DAW track which that channel is currently controlling, and
the channel
SOLO button solos the DAW track which that channel is currently controlling. The CUT and SOLO buttons light
tracks is indicated by the
CUTSOLO LED to the to the left of the 2-digit

The Digital Scribble Strip
The digital scribble strip that runs across the centre of the desk consists of two display rows. By default, the top row contains
labels associated with the channel faders, and is therefore Focus mode dependent: In Analogue Focus mode it displays the channel
Channels tab of the Matrix Remote (switching to a momentary display of the fader value in dB when a
fader is moved), whereas in DAW Focus mode the top row normally displays the DAW track names.
If the desk is in Analogue Focus and the
DISPLAY 17-32 is box is enabled in the Channels tab of the Remote, channel names
FLIP SCRIBBLE STRIP will then
allow the two rows of channel names to be reversed, so that 17-32 are shown on the top row.
The bottom row of the scribble strip is associated with the V-Pot located beneath the scribble strip. When Matrix is assigned to a
layer controlling a DAW, the bottom row of the scribble strip displays either the name or the value of the parameter controlled
by the V-Pot. When controlling Pro Tools, the scribble strip only displays the name of the V-Pot. For DAWs controlled via the
MCU protocol, please refer to their control surface documentation for full details of their scribble strip displays and messages.
In order to cater for variations in the ways MCU DAWs return channel data, there is a
Flip Scribble Strips box in the DAW
tab of the Remote, located to the right of the
button. This switches the two rows of the scribble strip, allowing
Nuendo labelling to follow the Logic format.
