This switches various console hardware, such as the bus faders, to control
computer DAW software instead of the console's internal audio path.
2. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the specific control surface protocol used,
in conjunction with the target DAW software. Choices include:
•
Mackie Control: Use this protocol to control any DAW software that is
compatible with a Mackie Control hardware control surface.
•
HUI: Use this protocol to control any D.A.W. software that is compatible
with a HUI hardware control surface, such as Pro Tools.
3. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected control surface protocol.
4. Adjust the 5th encoder to select whether the remote function uses the MIDI
In and OUT jacks or the X-USB card's MIDI.
5. Tap the 5th encoder to confirm the selection.
6. Adjust the 6th encoder to adjust various MIDI-based operations for the
