1.1 The Console

The Digico S21 consists of a worksurface, an audio engine and a range of onboard inputs and outputs. It can be connected using op-

tional DiGiCo DMI Cards to a variety of DiGiCo racks and other audio input/output devices.

The console worksurface consists of 2 sections that can be congured to control up to 40 mono or stereo input channels, 10 VCAs, 16

mono or stereo busses plus a Master buss and a 10 Input x 8 Output Matrix.

The left and right sections have 10 assignable faders and 10 sets of assignable on-screen channel controls, the right hand section

also has a dedicated Master fader and mute, a Master/Solo meter, a set of 6 assignable encoder/switches and worksurface navigation

controls

The console's buss architecture is dynamic, and can support mono and stereo congurations.

Multiple console setups can provide:

Front of House and Monitoring with shared stage racks and gain tracking.

1.2 Before You Start

There are certain general operating principles and terms that should be understood before continuing to use this manual.

Please read this chapter carefully before proceeding.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

S21 V1.0 software is not compatible with any sessions created in preliminary (pre V1.0) versions of software

Please delete all old sessions to avoid potential issues and create a "New" session in V1.0.

The console power switch is situated on the rear panel.

Please ensure that any required DiGiCo I/O racks are connected to the console DMI cards and powered on before start-

ing the console itself to enable automatic discovery of the racks.

DMI cards are NOT "Hot swappable" so please ensure that the console is powered off before inserting or removing

them.

We recommend that the rst snapshot is used as a "Setup" Snapshot where all of your "session wide" settings like

routing, Control Group membership and Buss Modes (whether Busses are Groups or Auxes) are rst stored.

Because these types of setting can be changed with Snapshot recall, it is advisable to save them all into this rst

snapshot before creating any further Snapshots. In this way, the settings for all subsequent Snapshots will contain the

same data and there should be less requirement to adjust the Safe settings in the channels.

1.2.2 Layers and Banks ...................................................................

The S21's worksurface is divided into Layers and Banks. Each Layer contains 2 Banks of 10 channels, and the layer which is currently

active on the control surface is selected using the layer up and down buttons next to the Master fader.

The right hand screen is referred to as the Master Screen and this is where the various expanded views of elements such as EQ and

Dynamics are displayed.

Pressing the white Overview button, located near the layer up and down buttons displays an on screen representation of all console

channels and the active layer can also be selected by touching it on the screen in this mode.The specic channels which are contained

within each Bank are dened in the Overview display. By default, the Input channels will be assigned to Layers 1 and 2 on the left and

right sections of the console.

The different output channels will be assigned to Layer 3 and 4. Control Groups will also be assigned to Layer 4. These bank assign-

ments can be customised by the user and saved in a session at any time.

1.2.3 Using the Control Surface .....................................................

There are two main ways in which all of the functions of the S21 are accessed:

1. The touchscreen display, which can be controlled directly using a nger

2. The physical encoders, switches and faders.

A number of functions can be accessed in different ways, allowing users to operate the console using whichever interface they prefer.

All of the physical controls on the console worksurface are described in full within the relevant section of the manual and many require

no further introduction.

The right hand Master Screen has a DiGiCo logo icon at the top which is used to access the Main Menu

1.2.4 The Selected Channel ............................................................

One of the channels in the Channel view is displayed with a highlighted background, indicating that it is currently the Selected Channel.

This means that it has been assigned to the worksurface controls to the right of the screen as shown in the image below. To assign a

channel, touch in the Output Block at the bottom of the on screen Channel view

NOTE: All of the master and under screen rotaries are encoders and switches in one unit.

Often, different functions can be accessed by a standard turn, a push turn and a push (switch)

eg Standard turn = Gain control & Push turn = Trim control

These controls give access to the channel pans in standard operation and the surrounding coloured LED rings are blue.

Touching and holding on the rows of controls on screen assign these encoders to different parameters, the screen row changes colour

and the LED rings change to a similar colour.

In the above example the Gain/Trim row at the top of the Channel View has been touched, the row is highlighted in red and the under-

screen controls are assigned to the Gain/Trim function.

Other possible assignments are:

HPF Frequency & On/Off - Row and LED ring highlighted in Mauve

Dynamics 1 Threshold & On/Off - Row and LED ring highlighted in Green

Dynamics 2 Threshold & On/Off - Row and LED ring highlighted in Yellow

Selected Aux row Send level & On/Off - Row and LED ring highlighted in Purple

1.3 The Expanded Views

1.3.1 Display Expanded Views .......................................................

A single touch (rather than a touch and hold) will open a number of different expanded views according to where the touch is made.

Opens Channel Setup view

Opens EQ view

Touch any Aux Send to select the channel

and assign the selected Aux Send to the

6th Master Rotary & Aux Pan to the 5th

(with Aux To Faders option OFF)

Swipe vertically to display more Auxes

Opens Dynamics 1 view

Opens Dynamics 2 view

Touch here to select a channel

The image above shows the various touch areas in the Channel view and the expanded view will be displayed on the Master screen.

Note: When an expanded view is already open, selecting a different channel by touching the Output block area at the

bottom of the screen will change the expanded view to display the newly selected channel.

If an expanded view is already open and a different expanded view is selected, the last view selected will be displayed

on the Master screen with the previously expanded view behind it.

Any combination of expanded views can be "layered" in this way.

The Close All button on the Master screen can be touched at any time to close all active expanded views.

The Close button on the Master screen can be touched at any time to close the currently active expanded view and display the view

beneath it.

Each column represents a section of the channel processing strip and these columns can be selected by touching their title label.

Once a column is selected, the parameters available in that section are assigned to the worksurface Master Rotaries to the right of the

screen.

Some columns are subdivided into blocks eg Input processing consists of Filters, Delays and Tubes.

Touching any of these blocks will assign the Master Rotaries to the settings for that block.

Note that touching the Filter block or the EQ block will both display the EQ view but with different bands selected.

Note: When any expanded view is open on the Master screen, the Master Rotaries no longer have their standard de-

fault assignment and are instead assigned to the parameters in the expanded view which is currently displayed.

The buttons in the top bar provide the following functions:

Switching the channel from Mono to Stereo mode

Adding the channel to a Spill Set (see Spill Set section later in this document)

Switching Gain Tracking On/Off for the channel
