Control Surface Operation
Starting the Software
Layer Switching
The 8 Fader Strips (faders, SEL, CUT & SOLO) flip between
controlling the 8 analogue main channels and 8 track faders
within the DAW:
Select the DAW switch (1), on the Control Surface Panel, to flip
all 8 Fader Strips to the DAW layer (the LED turns red):
Deselect DAW (1) to control the analogue layer (LED off).
When you change layer, all 8 channel faders (plus SEL, CUT &
SOLO switches) update to their corresponding positions.
Note: both layers are ALWAYS active. This means that if you
set an analogue fader level, and then switch to DAW, you will
still hear the analogue channels (providing audio is present).
Take care NOT to change layer by accident - if nothing is
happening to your level when you move a fader, check that you
are controlling the correct layer!
Channel Fader
When the DAW layer is active, move a channel fader on the
console and the corresponding DAW fader follows. (Or, move a
fader on the 'Mixer' window, and the console follows!)
Please bear in mind that the scale beside the channel fader is
for analogue level indication only. When controlling the DAW
layer, the fader scale is determined by the DAW software - in
Logic, faders can operate to +6dBFS above unity.
For more information on how faders, SOLOs and CUTs operate
in the analogue layer, please see the "Control 2802 Operating
Manual".

If you have shut down your computer since setting up the HUI
configuration, remember to start the Focusrite Control 2802 software and
Connect to Control 2802 before booting Logic.
Working in the DAW Layer - First Steps
In your Logic session, the 8 HUI
in light grey (in the track header) - for example, tracks 17 to 24:
On Control 2802, you will see the name of the 8 tracks in the
rotary encoder OLED displays:
You can use the BANK switches to quickly access
different blocks of tracks, see page 13.
Note: the 8 tracks assigned to the DAW layer are marked
in Logic at all times, even if the console is switched to the
analogue layer. Therefore, it is best to use the DAW switch (1)
and OLEDs to confirm what the Fader Strips are controlling.
Note: if you are running two HUI
Surface and Automation, then the first 8 tracks are marked in
white (the default colour). These tracks are used to automate
the analogue layer. Therefore, if your analogue channels are
not in AUTO SAFE, controlling these from the DAW layer will
affect your analogue channel levels! See page 27 for more
on analogue layer automation.

Channel SOLO & CUT
When the DAW layer is active, press a SOLO
or CUT switch on the console to activate S
(solo) or M (mute) within Logic.
You may find it useful to group these functions,
in Logic, to provide quick solo or cut auditioning
across a larger group of channels.
