he Nucleus combines a 16-channel fader controller,

arranged with eight channels on each side of a

centre section, with two mic preamps feeding

an onboard USB soundcard, SPDIF outputs, or

analogue outputs, along with basic monitoring facilities

and customisable DAW function control. The smart looking

desk is wide and shallow in depth; it has a gentle rake, and

everything is within easy reach.

All connections are on the rear panel, and there are many.

Setting up the Nucleus with your DAW requires connection of

both Ethernet and USB to the host computer. There are four

software packages to install. Nucleus Remote is the application

used for DAW control conﬁguration, the ipMIDI driver enables

communication with the DAW, and the optional Nucleus USB

Soundcard driver and Control Panel packages are used for the

4-channel soundcard.

It is possible to toggle Nucleus control of up to three

different DAWs on up to three different computers, with

simultaneous transport control if required, using a Network

Router and USB Switcher. Dedicated buttons on the console

enable this.

The 16 faders are smooth yet swift-acting and are topped

off with shiny caps. The Nucleus boasts a large, clear two-

row, six-character scribble strip and above are Select, Solo and

Cut buttons. The ‘V-Pots’ are rotary encoders with a smooth,

lightly damped analogue feel. They are surrounded by 11

yellow LEDs to show roughly the setting (depending on their

assigned function) plus a red one at the bottom that indicates

status, for example, an exactly centred pan pot. These knobs

also include a push switch (‘V-Sel’) for various functions.

Basic DAW operation is fairly self-explanatory. At the

bottom of the centre section are enormous transport controls

that light up appropriately. There are dedicated Bank and

Channel nudge buttons for scrolling through the channels of

the DAW. Using the Flip button, Sends can be adjusted using

the main faders, and the V-Pots become the Send’s associated

Pan controls. It is possible to use V-Pots to adjust plug-in

parameters via HUI.

The fun starts when you launch Nucleus Remote software

and start assigning functions to Soft Keys. There are some

excellent things to play with here, such as the Jog/Shuttle

function. There are options to scroll by timeline format (in

seconds if Min:Sec is selected in Pro Tools, bars if that is the

main counter, or even Frames if Timecode is selected), scroll

by Nudge value, or there is Tracks mode, which uses the

wheel to bank faders on the Nucleus one-by-one.

The small section at the top centre of the console provides

basic monitoring and mic preamp operation. Monitoring

comprises a volume knob to control stereo DAW level

as it passes through to the monitor outputs. The mic

preamps’ signals can be blended with the mix for zero-latency

monitoring while their direct outputs are recorded. A Blend

knob balances the preamps with the mix. Using the Mono-L

and Mono-R buttons you can treat them as a hard-panned

stereo pair, or either-or-both centred in mono. Mic preamps

are SuperAnalogue with plenty of gain and 48V, polarity,

Hi-Z and 80Hz ﬁlter, and the insert is switchable. Pressing

the Mixdown button cleverly reassigns the inserts to source

the monitor inputs as the send (instead of the preamps),

sending the insert output to the monitors and to the preamp

direct outputs, so you can record the mix back to the DAW

post-insert.

‘The Nucleus is a very smart-looking, capable, and

surprisingly complex beast. The more you get your head

around the concepts and functions, the more the Nucleus

makes sense. I eventually fell absolutely in love with the

Nucleus, and it will undoubtedly become the nucleus of many

working setups.’ Resolution V10.3. n
