the Sigma Remote app, δelta plugin, and ipMIDI software, and established a network connection to Sigma. Please see the
This section will provide a guide for how to configure Sigma in various setups. This section presumes you have installed
relevant sections if you have not already done this.

Pro Tools + Sigma

In this example we will configure control of all 16 channels of Sigma using the the -Ctrl plugin in Pro Tools.
Sigma remote Settings
1. Open the Sigma Remote application and go to the
'Settings' page.
2. Set 'Control Protocol' to Delta (MCU) from the drop-down
box (see below). Note, this will prompt a reboot of your
Sigma.
Pro Tools Settings
Before mixing with the plugin, the following options should be enabled in the Pro Tools Setup > Preferences > Mixing
menu :
1. Plugin Controls Default to Auto-enabled – Otherwise the parameters will need to be manually enabled for automation from each
individual plugin window either manually or using the Command-Option-Control-click (MAC) or Control-Alt-Start-click (PC) short cut.
2. Latching Behaviour for Switch Controls in Touch – This ensure that console switch automation is recorded correctly when the
track automation mode is set to Touch.
3. Set the SSL -Ctrl Plugin as a Favourite by Command-click (Mac) or Control-
click (PC) the Insert Selector and then selecting the SSL plugin from the Other
category. It will then appear at the top of the Insert Selector pop-up menu for fast access.
Pro Tools Session Setup
The final step is to setup the -Ctrl plugin(s).
δ-Ctrl Single Plugin Setup
1. Insert a -Ctrl single plugin on any track.
2. Set the Console Type to SIGMA, Console Object to CHAN, and
Console Object Number to 1. Ctrl-click on the Console Object
Number (1) to use the auto-increment feature – the number will
now be greyed out. This feature can be disabled by a second Ctrl-click on the Console Object Number.
3. Manually add 15 extra -Ctrl plugins to any channel inserts. The Console Object Number will be configured
automatically if the auto-increment feature is enabled. Sigma channel names will be pulled from the Sigma Remote
app to the corresponding -Ctrl plugin.
It is recommended that the -Ctrl plugins are added to channels with the corresponding output to Sigma (for example,
the -Ctrl plugin that controls channel 4 of Sigma added to the insert of the Pro Tools audio track routed to output 4
on your audio interface). This is useful for writing automation over the waveform of the audio track.
4. Make sure that your track automation status is set to either Read, Touch, or Latch. As the -Ctrl plugin uses standard
DAW automation tracks, you can now automate Sigma using the Pro Tools automation system.
