Installing and Configuring Command|8
Installation Guidelines
• Pro Tools software includes drivers for Com-
mand|8. Make sure Pro Tools is correctly in-
stalled and operating before using
Command|8.
• Make sure not to block the back, sides, or
front of Command|8 to maintain proper ven-
tilation. If you are mounting Command|8 in
studio furniture, be sure to leave adequate
space around the vents at the back and front.
• Pro Tools does not support the use of more
than one Command|8 at a time. Two or more
Command|8 units cannot be enabled simulta-
neously in Pro Tools.
• Command|8 must be the only MIDI control
surface enabled within Pro Tools. It cannot be
used in combination with other MIDI control
surfaces.
• Command|8 can be used in combination with
non-MIDI control surfaces with some limita-
tions. See "Command|8 with Other Control
Surfaces" on page 7 for more information.
• Command|8 can also be used as a standalone
MIDI control surface to control software syn-
thesizers and Rewire applications, supported
Avid systems, and any device that supports
MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) communi-
cation. See Chapter 5, "Using Stand-Alone
Mode" for installation and operational in-
structions.
