Dual-Layer Fader Strips
Control 2802 Operating Manual 25
SELect Switch & SELECT MODES
The SEL switch selects the fader strip. It is used in conjunction
with the SELECT MODEs on the Control Surface Panel to
perform a number of functions.
For all analogue layer functions, the operation is as follows:
Press the SELECT MODE - e.g. UNITY - and then press the
SEL switches (19) on each and every channel you wish to
affect - in our example, press SEL on fader strips 1 and 2 to
position faders 1 and 2 at unity gain.
● The status of channel selections is stored for all SELECT
MODEs. This means that when you re-select a function, the
SEL switches are how you last left them.
● This applies even after a power down. Therefore, you
should clear or reset channel SEL switches if the next
session requires a different set-up.
● One of the SELECT MODE switches is always active, so it
is a good idea to return to a benign mode, such as channel
SELECT, once you have nished making changes.
Analogue Layer SELECT MODEs
The following SELECT MODEs are available when controlling
the analogue layer:
SIP Safe (Solo-In-Place Safe) – used in the
analogue layer to isolate channels that you do not
want CUT when a SOLO on another channel is
active - very useful for reverb returns.
Automation Safe – used in the analogue layer to
isolate channels from automation. This prevents
HUI
TM
controller / MIDI automation from adjusting
the analogue channel level. Please see the
“Automation & Control Surface Manual”.
Unity – used in the analogue layer to provide a quick
way to position the channel fader at unity gain (0dB).
The channel remains locked at 0dB until you deselect
it. This function is ideal for returning stem mixes, or
any application where you want the faders at 0dB.
Channel Select – this mode is intended for use in
the DAW layer to select the channel. The switch
can be selected in the analogue layer, but it has no
function.
DAW Layer SELECT MODEs
The following modes are available only when controlling the
DAW layer:
● GRP – used to group tracks.
● REC EN – used to record enable tracks.
● AUTO MODE – used to select host-specifc automation
modes such as read, touch and latch.
Please see the “Automation & Control Surface Manual” for full
details on these modes.
