    Section 2: Console Operations Overview Duality Fuse is an evolutionary combination of analogue console and DAW controller from Solid State Logic. It draws on years of design experience, and incorporates industry standard features from SSL’s range of large format music consoles.
  • Page 26: An Introduction To Split Mode

    In order to understand signal flow through Duality Fuse’s various operational modes, first we need to discuss how your DAW I/O unit is connected to the console. To take advantage of the sonic and control environment provided by Duality Fuse, it is recommended that each DAW output is returned individually to a Duality Fuse channel strip.
  • Page 27: Channel Strip

    Console Operation Channel Strip Introduction INPUT Duality Fuse’s Split Mode enables the channel processing to be easily applied to channel input HI-Z Channel signals feeding the DAW record path or to the DAW returns. This provides the equivalent of Input in-line operation but without the complexity of separate channel and monitor paths.
  • Page 28: Channel Input Section

    Recall™ (optional). At your first introduction to the Duality Fuse console, you will immediately see that the channel strip controls are presented in reassuringly familiar manner. The following pages describe each control in detail, with brief coverage of the routing possibilities.

  • Page 36: Master Channel Fader And Mute

    Fader Grouping Duality Fuse features traditional VCA style grouping where the sum of the channel (slave) and group (master) fader dB values controls channel gain.
  • Page 37: Fader Links

    As far as the automation system is concerned (see Section 5), switch and fader operations performed in one channel will cause that function in every channel in the link to go into Write. Links can be dissolved at any time, but all the automation data will still play out correctly. Duality Fuse Operator’s Manual 2-13...

    Additionally, group master faders may control other group master faders. Duality Fuse features traditional VCA style grouping – the gain equals the gain of the slave plus the gain of the master (in dB). Assigning a fader to a group immediately changes the gain by the amount the master is displaced from 0dB.
