Plug-in Mixer Transport - Setup

The Transport functionality of the Plug-in Mixer & UC1 front panel is achieved using HUI/MCU commands. In order for it to function,
you must configure a HUI or MCU controller in your DAW. On the following pages are instructions on how to configure a HUI or MCU
controller. One configured, the CONTROL SETUP page of SSL 360° allows you to choose which DAW the Plug-in Mixer Transport
is linked to. The DAW setup examples that follow presume that DAW 1 (i.e. SSL V-MIDI Port 1) is the DAW for which you wish to
configure the Transport control. For completeness, the table below specifies which SSL V-MIDI ports would be required for DAW
2 and DAW 3, should you wish for either of those to be driving the Transport commands.
DAW 1
SSL V-MIDI Port 1
Pro Tools
STEP 1: Open Pro Tools. Go to the Setup Menu > MIDI > MIDI Input Devices...
In this list, ensure that SSL V-MIDI Port 1 is ticked (presuming DAW 1 is being configured to drive the Transport).
STEP 2: Go to the Setup Menu > Peripherals > MIDI Controllers tab. Select HUI Type. Set to Receive From SSL V-MIDI Port 1
Source and then Send To as SSL V-MIDI Port 1 Destination.
STEP 3: In SSL 360°, on the CONTROL SETUP page configure DAW 1 as Pro Tools from the DAW CONFIGURATION drop-down
list and also select DAW 1 (Pro Tools) in the TRANSPORT LINKED TO drop-down list.
STEP 1 : Enable SSL V-MIDI Port 1 in Pro Tools.
STEP 3 : On the CONTROL SETUP tab, set DAW 1 to Pro Tools in DAW CONFIGURATION and also set
TRANSPORT LINED TO as DAW 1 (Pro Tools).
