This is another of the S21’s selection of really neat tricks! When the surface is displaying graphic EQ mode, the faders become magically endowed with a centre detent - a real mechanical one that gives clear tactile feedback with a precise ‘notch’ at the nil (centre-of-travel) point. The S21 has no fewer than 16 32-band graphic EQs that can be patched into any processing path. We all know that graphic EQs are just not glamorous or interesting but are nevertheless an important part of live-sound life. The screen display and fingertip control really has to be tried to appreciate just how good it is. Both dynamics sections display an RTA, helping to keep adjustments relevant and appropriate to the signal going through whatever channel is selected.
The second dynamics section can be selected as a gate, a ducker (great for AV) or another single-band compressor with a side-chain input. Working in the multiband compressor screen really shows how good the multi-touch screen is - pinch, swipe and drag actions are stable, smooth and reliable, and the generous screen size makes for a really good, clear and straightforward display and control experience even when making fine adjustments. The first dynamics section is by default a single-band compressor but there are a maximum of four multi-band compressors available, assignable to any input or bus, and DiGiCo have also provided four instances of excellent valve emulation. Maybe I get lucky and there is a Texas Instruments logic controller or something like that! I still have my books on working with logic controllers, so I would at least be able to attempt to work with it.Published April 2018 Channel Setup & Signal ProcessingĪlmost every digital mixer will have some form of channel overview display, but this one is worth a mention because it’s particularly clear and comprehensive every main processing section or key parameter is accessible from this screen with one touch, there are handy routing arrows indicating the signal path, and from here you can copy channel parameters to paste elsewhere and gang/link channels together.Įvery channel, be it an input, aux, matrix or group, has permanently available processing, and that includes four-band parametric EQ with high-pass and low-pass filters (permanent ones, in addition to the four EQ bands), delay and two dynamics processors. It’s probably some custom made circuit boards in there, but it’s worth a shot.
I may take one of these devices apart and see what kind of hardware it uses.
#Digico s21 offline editor how to
But like I said, before I can go any further, I would need to figure out how to write a config file. It was about 1 year ago and a lot has changed since then. I would have to find it and see exactly where I was in my project. It has all 16 buttons and a screen (which is actually kinda useless). Its the quickest way I could build a pretty GUI. Heck, I could have built a super simple menu based editor using CMD Prompt in about 30 minutes. If the config was a standard text file, then anyone could build an editor. That’s the exact problem I ran into and why my project stopped.
