A Total Studio Environment

Two types of control surface units can be used individually or in combination, according to system needs. Three types of high-end audio interface are available, usable individually or in combination as required: 16-channel analog, 16-channel digital, and 8-channel analog + 8-channel digital

Workspace units for a streamlined and productive working environment

Nuage Workspace units feature dimensions and design that are a perfect match for the Nuage Fader and Nuage Master units, allowing a keyboard, surround panner, 19 inch rack mount devices, and other custom extras to be added to a Nuage system while maintaining overall workflow and visual unity. Two Nuage Workspace units are available: a large model that is the same size as the Nuage fader unit, and a small model that can be added to a Nuage Master unit to match the width of a standard 24” monitor display.

Multi-function Knob Super Fine Mode

The Dante Accelerator audio interface card can be installed in the computer running the Nuendo DAW to provide extra low-latency transfer of as many as 128 simultaneous channels of audio data, for a distinct performance advantage when communicating with Nuage I/O units. The Dante Accelerator card also features a secondary port that can be used to provide redundant connections* for failsafe reliability. *Available with firmware update scheduled in Summer 2013

Quick Control and VST Instrument Access from Multi-function Display

A Nuage system can connect to up to four* DAWs that can be brought online individually from the Nuage Fader DAW SELECT controls. The various DAWs can be located in separate studios or machine rooms where they are used to handle separate elements of a large project, and then brought together at the Nuage system for final assembly and editing. And since Nuage includes HUI control compatibility, it provides basic access to any HUI compatible DAW that you might want to use as a player or dubber. * Up to three DAWs with the initial firmware, increasing to four DAWs with a subsequent firmware update.

Now that everyone is thoroughly familiar with computer trackpads, the Nuage Touch Slider will be easy. Simply slide a finger along the horizontal Touch Slider strip to shift Nuendo channels left or right in relation to the Nuage Fader channel strips, use flick gestures to quickly shift a larger range of channels, or use the “Bank Flick” feature to flick channels in groups of eight. There are also customizable channel layouts that bring important channels to the surface with just one button press. Lock your stem or master busses to the surface to access them at any time.

Track Visibility

Track counts can reach the hundreds in large projects, so it is helpful to be able to organize what you see and what you don’t for maximum efficiency. Nuendo version 1.5 now links to the new Nuendo 6.5 Track Visibility function, making it possible to specify which tracks will appear on the display. (This feature is available with Nuage V1.5 software)

Multi-function Knob Super Fine Mode

Each Nuage channel strip includes two Multi-function Knobs. Rotating a knob while pressing the knob itself as well as the MODIFIER SECTION [SHIFT] key engages a Super Fine Mode in which parameter adjustment resolution is up to 512 times greater than normal. (This feature is available with Nuage V1.5 software)

Expanded ADR Functions

Any standard 24” LCD monitor display* can be used to provide a smooth visual extension of the physical Nuage fader channel strips right into the Nuendo mixer window. The continuity between control surface and display achieved by the Extensive Console View concept keeps all controls and parameters in context so the operator can intuitively reach for the right fader, button, or knob while concentrating fully on the job at hand. 16 channels can be controlled at once with two encoders per channel, or all encoders can be mapped to one or two highlighted channels in the Channel Setting Mode. * Monitor display(s) are not included and must be supplied by the user.

Pro Tools HD Control Under the Latest Mac OS

Up to three Steinberg Nuendo or Avid Pro Tools DAWs can be connected to a Nuage system and selected as required. The Nuage PT Bridge driver for Pro Tools control included with this update is compatible with OSX 10.9, providing full support for Pro Tools on the latest Mac platforms. * Only one Pro Tools DAW can be controlled at a time. There are differences between the Nuendo and Pro Tools parameters that can be controlled from Nuage. (This feature is available with Nuage V1.5 software)

Ideal Environment for Dolby Atmos Mixing

Nuage provides full support for the VST MultiPanner 3D surround plug-in included with Steinberg’s Nuendo. The VST MultiPanner interface is faithfully reproduced on the Nuage Master touch screen, providing an ideal environment for Dolby Atmos surround production and bringing Nuage up to speed with today’s fastest-growing immersive surround format. VST MultiPanner makes it possible to work on a 9.1 channel bed mix and an object mix with up to 118 audio objects via a single display. As a project progresses the operator can switch between bed and object modes without having to redo the panning. Top View and Rear View displays make it easy to visualize the positions of audio images within the sound stage in three dimensions. A comprehensive selection of panning trajectory presets is also provided for smooth, efficient sound design. Experience the cutting edge of 3D audio.

Enhanced Monitor Control

Enhanced Monitor Control

Nuage supports remote control of Yamaha’s MMP1 Studio Monitor Management System so that source selection, levels, downmix and dimmer switching, talkback, and other functions can be controlled directly from physical controls on a Nuage Master or Nuage Fader unit. And because these functions can be accessed even when there is no computer or DAW online, monitor section operation is as direct and immediate as on a mixing console.

Refined Exterior Design

The Nuage development team believes that a great console needs to offer more than features and functionality. It must also have sophisticated visual appeal that, as the centerpiece of the studio, will add a touch of class to the environment . That "atmosphere" is important whether a client is in the room or a creator is working long hours alone. The elegantly reserved design of the Nuage system expresses its advanced capabilities while solidly anchoring the visual space. Several product design awards from around the globe attest to its success.

NUAGE WORKSPACE for a streamlined and productive working environment

Nuage Workspace units feature dimensions and design that are a perfect match for the Nuage Fader and Nuage Master units, allowing a keyboard, surround panner, 19" rack mount devices, and other custom extras to be added to a Nuage system while maintaining overall workflow and visual unity. Two Nuage Workspace units are available: a large model that is the same size as the Nuage fader unit, and a small model that can be added to a Nuage Master unit to match the width of a standard 24" monitor display. The palm rests on the Nuage Fader unit and large Nuage Workspace unit include a compartment that can house a computer keyboard. *The photo shows a custom installation.
