1

 This

switch arms or disables the channel for recording.

2

 This switch calls up inserts

for editing, and also allows you to bypass all in-
serts on the channel when the master 

BYPASS

switch is pressed (see 

bo

 at right). Makes it easy

to access DSP (digital signal processing) soft-
ware additions. (In Pro Tools these are called
Plug-Ins.)

3

 This switch toggles be-

tween the various functions of the
V-Pot, such as I/O routing assign-
ment, Send Mute switching (when
the master 

MUTE switch is en-

gaged), and Select when applying
the default function.

4

 This

“soft” potentiometer is used to
adjust the send level and pan, to
choose items from scrollable I/O
assignment lists, and to deter-
mine destinations for sends.

5

 For enabling

automation on the channel.

6

 For isolating

a channel’s signal.

7 

 For defeat-

ing the track’s signal.

8

 A four-

character LED dot-matrix display
for the channel’s name, group
membership status, input and
output source for the channel,
send and insert status, and pre/
post status display for sends.
Names are entered in the DAW
software.

9

  Select switch. This switch

is used to choose a channel for
channel-based editing or assign-
ment commands, such as groups,
assignment, etc.

bl

  Touch-sensitive motor

. These 100mm faders are

for controlling the channel’s lev-
els, aux returns, MIDI track, and
master fader levels. The eight
faders move relative to the activ-
ity of the currently chosen bank
of on-screen faders.

bm

 (Not shown here.)

Display mono or stereo audio levels, according
to the DAW specifications. The Clip LED comes
on at 0dBFS.

When a channel is desig-

nated as mono, only the left meter ladder lights
up. Likewise, if the channel is being used as a
stereo channel, both ladders operate.  (These
meters are located in the meter bridge directly
above each channel strip.)

bn 

 This switch is used

to enable (or defeat) all tracks for recording.

bo 

 This switch allows you

to bypass any channel inserts (hardware or
DSP Plug-Ins) on any HUI channel(s) you have
selected.

bp

 These switches are

used to globally deter-
mine what a track’s V-Pot
will control. Included in
this section are: 

SENDS

A–E, PAN, MUTE, and
SHIFT. The scribble strip
shows what the 

V-POT is

doing, as well as send
destination and I/O rout-
ing of an individual
channel strip.

bq 

 

SUSPEND

temporarily suspends all
automation functions
(globally). 

DEFAULT is

used to set selected
channel(s) back to the
original, default settings.
Use the 

DEFAULT/SE-

LECT 

9 

switches to

reset faders, and the
DEFAULT/V-SEL 

3

switches to reset sends
and pans.

br 

 These

switches are used for sig-
nal routing assignment(s).
By selecting combina-
tions of these switches
and the 

SELECT and

V-SEL switches, channel
I/O and send (bus) I/O
assignments are made.
