Let’s look a little closer at the HUI layer in
sections:
First we have the eight HUI faders. These and
their associated buttons are self-explanatory. But
the Write button can be confusing, so pay attention
when we get to that in the following paragraphs.
There will be a quiz at the end (just kidding!).
The D8B’s Aux section (buttons 1-13) near the
top of the board has similar functionality in HUI
layer. These buttons appear above the master
fader on the HUI layer GUI. Aux1-Aux5 switch the
HUI Layer V-Pots from the pan function to control-
These are indicated on-screen by clicking the
question mark button in the upper right corner.
The left side of the screen provides a map of
the control section of the D8B, with numerical
references over many of the buttons and a list of
the HUI functions provided by each button. For
example, button number 12 (Aux 11-12 from the
picture) is HUI bank right. So press this to access
the next eight faders in your DAW to the right.
The on-screen mixer changes and so does the HUI
Layer.
When you go back to Bank 1-4 on the D8B,
some of these buttons revert back to their normal
operation. Aux 11-12 is an example. But other
buttons, like the D8B transport, will retain their
HUI Control Mapping no matter what bank you are
on, as long as HUI mode is enabled. Controls that
behave like this are called Global HUI Controls.
The HUI Layer Control Mapping chart tells you
which controls are Global and which are not.
Remember Global controls always function as
described when HUI mode is on, while non-Global
controls only have the described function when
the HUI layer is visible.
