Setting Your Workstation(S) To Communicate Via Ipmidi - Solid State Logic AWS 900+ SE Owner's Manual

Setting your workstation(s) to communicate via ipMIDI

The AWS 900+ SE software uses 10 virtual MIDI ports which are pre-assigned as follows:
Port Layer
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 2
5 2
6 2
7 –
8 –
* Note that MIDI port 4 or ipMiDI port 7 can be used for MTC input, allowing MTC to be connected from systems
(such as RADAR) that do not support the ipMIDI driver. MTC should only be routed to one port at a time.
Note that there are now two switchable workstation layers allowing to independent workstations to be interfaced.
Once configured, you can switch between the two layers using the console's SSL>DAW menu. Port 7: If your
console is equipped with AWSomation, this port is used to feed AWSomation with MTC.
Port 8: Used for the import and export of legacy SysEx TR and AWSomation data.
Port 9-10: Mapped to the conventional MIDI connectors on the rear of the console allowing connection of a
keyboard or other MIDI device to your DAW via ipMIDI .
To select which DAW is assigned to each layer go to SSL>MISC>SETUP on your console and select the following:
DAW 1: select from Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Perfomer / Sonar
DAW 2: select from Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Perfomer / Sonar / None
After making these changes the console should be restarted.
The MCU protocol suports automatic detection of connected control surfaces. To enable this select
Logic Handshake. Logic will then automatically detect the AWS. If you select Logic Handshake on both layers
then Logic will detect 6 control surfaces, which may not be what you want! The other protocols do not transmit
handshaking messages.
To enable control of your workstation via HUI or MCU your workstation(s) must be configured to match the
appropriate layer in the list above. This is done using the MIDI Controller configuration page of your workstation.
The following pages show examples using Pro Tools 7 and Logic Pro 8.
