• • Press and Hold – Either a way to select all the paths on a current page
for multiple editing or a way to engage a parameter function that may
be critical if press in error, for example atting the EQ is a press and hold
function.
• • Widget – The name for a window or various windows displaying
information on the GUI as part of a workow.
• • Workow – Visualizes the activities needed to mix audio.
• • Pot – A physical rotary control used to adjust a level or value.
• • Interrogation – Pressing and holding a function to see the parameters
associated with that control.
Chapter 2. HD96-24 Overview
Introducing the HD96-24 Digital
Mixing System.
For decades Midas has been a driving force in the world of pro audio. Building
on the incredible success of the XL8 and PRO Series with their exemplary audio
performance and road-proven rugged and reliable construction, the Midas PRO
Series became the gold standard in concert touring and installed live sound.
Oering the same outstanding sample-synchronised and phase-coherent audio
performance, interpolated control functions and intuitive navigation, the PRO1,
PRO2, PRO3, PRO6, PRO9 and later PRO-X Live Audio Systems have become one of
the industry’s main choices for live sound mixing.
Now the HD96-24 pushes the boundaries further yet again with a 21” touchscreen
for hands on instant access to all controls. Parameter adjustment becomes
fast and easy with gesture touch interaction using the precise and accurate
multi-touch display which allows up to 10 simultaneous touches. Featuring 144
Simultaneous inputs and 120 (96 x Flexi Aux + 24 x Matrix) time-aligned and
phase-coherent busses with no stealing of resource’s in channel or bus counts.
True and consistent 96 kHz sampling frequency and 64-bit oating-point
processing provide exemplary quality audio processing, and the oversampled
and interpolated digital signal processing algorithms, combined with the fully
interpolated and touch sensitive user controls, result in the smooth continuous
response and immediacy of working on an analogue console.
The HD96-24 features the rugged and road-proven KLARK TEKNIK HyperMAC
(HMAC) and SuperMAC (AES50-compliant) networking technologies with their
ultra-low and deterministic latencies and robust error correction. Its powerful
audio networking oers up to 624 inputs and 654 outputs at the 96kHz sample
frequency depending on conguration.
The 24 VCA (Variable Control Association) and 24 POP (POPulation) groups,
combined with the advanced touch screen navigation system, 28 faders,
assignable controls and innovative shortcut area allow simultaneous display
and control of all the critical information required to craft an unprecedented
mix experience.
