This chapter describes the Remote function, which enables you to control external equip-

About Remote Function

The DM1000's Remote function enables you to control external DAW (Digital Audio Work-
station) equipment, MIDI devices, recorders, etc.
There are three types of Remote functions (Remote 1 &2, and Machine Control):
■ REMOTE 1 (Remote Layer 1)
■ REMOTE 2 (Remote Layer 2)
To use these Remote functions, you must connect the DM1000 to a target device via USB
and operate the faders, Encoders and [ON] buttons on the top panel to control the external
device remotely.
You can specify a target device and parameter values on the Remote | Remote1 and Remote
2 pages. These layers are enabled when you turn on the LAYER [REMOTE 1] and
[REMOTE 2] buttons respectively. During Remote operation, the controls on the top panel
enable you to control the external device. (You cannot adjust the DM1000's parameters
unless you select a different layer.)
You can assign functions of a target device to the controls on the top panel of the DM1000
by using Remote Layers 1 and 2. The following targets are available for remote control:
• ProTools ........................You can remotely control Digidesign Pro Tools.

If you have already assigned a ProTools, Nuendo, or General DAW target to Remote Layer 1
or 2, you cannot assign other targets to the other Remote Layer.
■ Machine Control
From the Remote | Machine Control page, you can control an external recording machine
that is connected to the DM1000 MIDI port, REMOTE connector, USB port, or optional
MY8-mLAN card. There are two types of commands used for machine control.
