Opening the minimoog V in Pro Tools for Mac OS X
• TDM systems: the minimoog V should be loaded to a stereo audio track. Opening as
HTDM is done through the TDM menu, as a HTDM plug-in is used exactly like a TDM
plug-in.
• Other systems: the minimoog V can be loaded on a mono audio track (which
becomes stereo after the insertion) or stereo.
We can now make the minimoog V «ring» by playing with the mouse on the virtual
keyboard.
7.3.4 Connection to a MIDI node
So that the minimoog V can play information coming from a MIDI track, it must be
associated to a MIDI node through the appropriate menu.
We can so control the minimoog V through a command keyboard (see the Pro Tools
manual for the connection of this type of device).
7.3.5 Saving presets
When the session is saved, the state of the minimoog V is saved as is, even if the
programming corresponds to no preset. For example, if you were working on a preset
«BassOne» on which you had changed settings (without saving them as «BassTwo»),
the next time you open the song, the minimoog V will load the preset «BassOne» plus
the changes.
The «Librarian Menu» in Pro Tools can of course be used with the minimoog V like any
other plug-in. Nonetheless, we recommend that you use the internal menu of the
minimoog V. This is for several reasons:
• Presets saved in this manner can be used in any other sequencer, making the
exchange between users easier.
• They will be compatible with the different versions of the minimoog V that will appear
with its evolution.
7.3.6 Automation in Pro Tools
Automation works with the minimoog V like any other RTAS/HTDM plug-in (refer to the
Pro Tools documentation for more details on plug-in automation).
Preset changes, however (and thus cable movement) cannot be automated.
