The Channel Output (D-connector) is normally used to feed the DAW input. The default
signal is a post channel fader feed, but the SRC SEL button can be used to select alternative
sources: pre channel fader (pre the SPLIT point — see below), the channel input (also pre the
SPLIT point), or an active EFX send (see below). Each selection is graphically displayed on the
channel TFT screen (see Channel Metering for more information). When either the
channel input or pre fader source is selected, the SPLIT button activates the Split Monitoring
function and routes the DAW return into the channel signal path post the split point (see
below).
Use the associated AFL button to monitor the channel output source as you toggle through the options with the
SRC SEL button. The central routing panel has single button selection of the four channel output sources: INPUT,
PRE FADE, POST FADE and EFX.
Split Mode
When the channel output (DAW input) is sourced from either the channel input or pre the
channel fader, the SPLIT button (at the top of the panning area for the channel strip) offers
a new approach to in-line tracking on an analogue console by returning the DAW output
back into the channel path just after the channel output pick off point. By using INPUT or
PRE FADE as the channel output source, clean or processed signals are routed to the
DAW input, with the option to use the remaining channel processing and routing to monitor
the DAW return in the analogue domain.
The effect of SPLIT is graphically illustrated on the channel TFT (see Channel Metering for more
information).
Note that SPLIT is disabled if CHOP is sourced from POST FADE or EFX, or if the Line Amp is
selected as the channel input.

By now you will have realised that Duality SE features extremely flexible signal processor routing within each channel.
In addition, the channel output (CHOP) can be sourced from a number of different points in the channel.
Furthermore, the SPLIT function effectively offers two signal paths in one channel strip. A useful graphic display on
the channel bay TFT (see Channel Metering) makes clear, at any time, the current arrangement for any channel.
