Footswitch Control
Duality has two 6.35mm jack footswitch connectors on the rear of the console. These are intended for hands-
free access to essential transport functions:
Footswitch Control 1 either plays or stops the DAW. Holding down SHIFT will abort a recording if in record, or
initiate half-speed playback if stopped.
Footswitch Control 2 s used to activate or deactivate record mode. Holding CTRL while pressing the footswitch
will cycle through record modes.
Zoom, Navigation and Selection Modes (16)
The Motion Control area has a section with four cursor buttons and a ZOOM/SEL function that toggles the
selection of three available modes: Navigation Edit, Zoom and Select.
Navigation Mode (Zoom/Sel button not lit)
In this mode the cursor buttons can be used to select a region or regions on the DAW screen.
The left and right buttons will snap to region/clip boundaries. The up/down buttons move the cursor to the track
above or below respectively. Holding down the SHIFT modifier button will allow a selection to be extended in any
direction. Holding the OPTION button allows the current selection point to be centred on the screen.
Holding CTRL+ Up/Down/Left/Right cursor button allows you to change and extend the region/clip selection.
Add SHIFT to the above combination to include either the previous or next region.
Zoom Mode (Zoom/Sel button lit)
The cursor buttons now become horizontal and vertical zoom controls for the edit/arrange window on the DAW.
Fixed edit/arrange zoom settings can be saved or recalled from Duality’s numeric keypad:
To save a zoom setting – press SHIFT + numeric keypad number
To recall a zoom setting – press OPTION + numeric keypad number
