The Matrix offers additional DAW control functionality via the SEL KEY area of
the Matrix centre section, located above the Utility keys. Each of the SEL KEY
buttons lights to indicate when it is active. There are four SEL KEY modes:
In Default mode, active when no other mode is selected, the
channel DAW SEL buttons select the corresponding track within the DAW. The SEL symbols at the top of the
channel meters light to indicate which track (or tracks) have been selected.
Rec Arm Mode
In REC ARM mode, each SEL button arms and disarms the corresponding DAW track’s record ready function. The REC
symbols at the top of the channel meters flash to indicate which tracks are record-armed.
Plug-in Mode (Pro Tools Only)
PLUG-IN mode allows you to control the parameters of your Pro Tools track’s plug-ins from the Matrix front panel. In this
mode, the V-Pots, V-Sels and the digital scribble strip no longer control DAW track function, but emulate the dedicated HUI plug-
in controller. This consists of four encoders with integral switches, a two-line 40-character parameter display, plus additional
switches to assign and control the plug-ins within a Pro Tools channel strip.
Note that the alignment of some of the labels in the digital scribble strip is approximate.
Full details of HUI plug in control can be found in the Pro Tools MIDI Control Surfaces guide. The following description
provides a brief overview of the functionality.
With PLUG-IN mode enabled, the channel DAW SEL keys can select and indicate the channel currently selected to the plug-
in editor.
Note that due to changes in recent Pro Tools software (V7.0 and above) selecting a channel via the SEL keys only works
for tracks assigned to faders 1 to 8. It is often easier to select the plug-in by clicking on send slot in the mixer page. This
will automatically assign the plug in to the Editor and open the plug-in window on screen.
The track selected to the PLUG-IN controller is displayed in the top half of the digital scribble strip above channels 9-16. The
Edit symbol in the top right hand corner of the channel’s meter area (shown above left) also lights to indicate that one of its sends
is being edited.
V-Sel 16 switches between
IInnsseerrtt
and
PPaarraamm
mode, and the red LED below the V-pot lights to indicate
PPaarraamm
mode.
IInnsseerrtt
mode is used to select which insert ( 1- 5) is being configured, and
PPaarraamm
allows the parameters of the selected
plug-in to be controlled.

V-Pot 16 scrolls between the
IInnsseerrttss 11--44
page and the
IInnsseerrtt 55
page. The current page is indicated in the top row
of the scribble strip. In the
IInnsseerrttss 11--44
page, Inserts 1-4 can be accessed by pressing V-Sels 9, 11, 12 and 14. In the
IInnsseerrtt 55
page, Insert 5 is accessed via V-Sel 9. The selected insert label will flash to indicate that it has been selected.
Channel 15’s V-Sel button switches
AAssssiiggnn
mode on and off, and the red LED below the pot flashes when
AAssssiiggnn
mode
is on. In
AAssssiiggnn
mode, the V-Pot for each insert scrolls through a full list of available plug-ins, with the LEDs around the V-
Pot indicating how far through the list you have scrolled. Once the desired plug-in has been located, it can be assigned to the track
insert by pressing the associated V-Sel button.
