  • Page 22 SURFACE OVERVIEW The Summa surface is shown here in its smallest format, 12+8, which includes one 8 fader section with a large TFT touchscreen (touch display), and one 12 fader section with a large TFT display (meter display). Summa is available in two larger formats: 24+8 and 36+8.

  • Page 23: Fader Strip

    CONTROL SURFACE SECTIONS Fader Strip Each Summa 12 fader panel is made up of 12 fader strips, each combining a motorised fader, several push buttons and a small TFT fader display. The image below explains the operation of each button.

    In access mode , all control cells on the surface show EQ and dynamics controls for the currently accessed path. In function-specific—strip—control modes, the control cells correspond to the faders below them, for example, in pan mode, each control cell operates the pan controls for the fader below.

  • Page 28: Console Monitors

    Console Monitors Two sets of loudspeakers can be fed from Summa’s console monitor bus, one ‘main’ and one ‘small’ set. There is also provision for a separate loudspeaker for monitoring the console’s PFL feed. The console monitors section of the surface allows control of all sets of loudspeakers.

  • Page 29: S Tudio Monitors

    S tudio Monitors Summa has three dedicated studio monitor feeds for relaying signals back to the studio floor. This section of the surface provides level, mute and talkback control for these feeds. FIGURE 7 - STUDIO MONITORS Linking Paths When paths are linked, adjustments to the parameters of one linked path are also made for all other linked paths.

  • Page 30: Surface Layers

    Surface Layers The Summa surface has six layers in total, allowing fader-control of 6 times as many paths as there are faders on the surface. You can switch between layers using the layer selection buttons 1–6 on the surface. When selecting a layer, all fader positions, button states and control cell states change immediately to reflect faders on the newly selected layer.

    Summa’s USB ports can be used to connect a QWERTY keyboard to the system. FIGURE 11 - USB PORTS User Buttons Summa’s User Buttons can be used in conjunction with Hydra2 general purpose inputs and outputs (GPIO). “General Purpose Inputs and Outputs” on page 170 for more information.

  • Page 42: Interfacing Styles

    • All buttons on the Summa surface are labelled and LED back-lit to indicate their ‘on’ statuses. Buttons can either be momentary (they trigger the function until you release them), latching (switch on or off each time they are pressed) or auto (they latch if you tap them or act as momentary buttons if you hold them).
  • Page 43 Tap or drag to switch between on/off states. Keyboard • There are several Summa functions which require the use of a Qwerty keyboard. An external keyboard can be attached to one of Summa’s USB ports. Alternatively, if no external keyboard is connected, a software keyboard is provided.

    LAYERS The Summa surface has six layers allowing fader-control of 6 times as many paths as there are faders on the surface. You can switch between layers using the layer selection buttons 1– 6 on the surface. Layer switching options can be set per fader section. Fader sections can be ‘linked’, so that if a section’s layer is changed, the layer will also change for all linked sections.

  • Page 51: Surface Layer Pop-Up

    Each surface section (12 or 8 fader) is represented along the top of the pop-up. Link layer switches along the bottom of the pop-up can be set to ‘on’ or ‘off’ to enable or disable layer linking.

  • Page 85: Protect A Patch From Memory Loads

    Inputs 1 and 2 Every Summa channel has two inputs, 1 and 2, to which two entirely separate feeds can be patched. Input 2 is generally used for patching a back-up microphone so that if the feed to input 1 fails, you can quickly switch to use input 2, which has exactly the same processing, routing and output patching applied to it as input 1.

  • Page 86: Input Controls

    The input controls window is split into three sections, the header contains general controls, the physical I/O box port controls are on the left and Summa’s channel controls are on the right. In the control window header the Input 1 / Input 2 toggle button allows you to switch between two entirely separate I/O box input ports which may be patched to the currently accessed path.

    MIX MINUS OUTPUTS Mix minus outputs are path- specific desk outputs, which are available for patching. Summa has a pool of 188 resources which can be assigned to be mix minus outputs or direct outputs. Mix minus outputs are used to create foldback feeds using a comprehensive contribution system for defining the paths or buses that feed the output.

  • Page 100: Bus Outputs

    BUS OUTPUTS Summa’s bus outputs—4 mains, 16 auxs and 32 tracks—are all available for patching from the I/O patching screen. Bus outputs appear under desk outputs in the sources window. Multiple paths can be routed to each bus using the routing tabs down the right hand side of the control window.

  • Page 123: Compressor/Limiter

    An expander acts in the opposite way to a compressor: When a signal exceeds the expander threshold it is passed through unchanged, and when it falls below the threshold it is reduced, effectively increasing the dynamic range of the signal and reducing unwanted audio content. CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture...

  • Page 124: Global Module Controls

    Gates are often used to minimise unwanted audio content. Calrec expander/gates have 6dB of built-in hysteresis to avoid unwanted ‘chatter’ (constant on/off switching) resulting from an input signal residing on or around the threshold.

  • Page 128: Automixers

    AUTOMIXERS Summa has four AutoMixers which can be used to automatically mix the levels of a selection of mono channels and mono groups, keeping the overall level of the mix constant. AutoMixers have the effect of boosting paths with higher signal levels relative to other paths in the grouping, whilst lowering those with lower signal levels.

  • Page 129: Automixer Global Controls

    AutoMixer Global Controls Each of Summa’s four AutoMixers have their own attack, release and bypass controls. Attack and release are used to smooth out the signals prior to the level ratio calculation being made. A compromise must be made between fast attack and release, which leads to a more erratic but fast-acting functioning and slow attack and release times, which leads to a slower acting but smoother functioning.

Creating and dissolving VCA Groups To create a VCA group: 1. Select the fader that you wish to be the group’s master by pushing and holding its ACCESS button.

  • Page 141: Secondary Master

    FIGURE 1 - VCA STATUS—FADER DISPLAY Secondary Master There is a three tiered hierarchy within Summa’s VCA group system: primary Master, secondary master and slave. Altering the level of a primary master affects the levels of its direct slaves, its secondary master and the secondary master’s slaves, all by the same degree.

  • Page 142: Masters And Paths

    If both nulling indicators show at the same time, this indicates that the master fader is below -50 dB and so the level of the slave cannot be altered. This has been put in place for safety as making alterations at such low levels would be likely to produce inaudible results. 142 SUMMA PROCESSING Networked Audio Production System...
