Pro Tools Setup
Step 1.) Open a Pro Tools session and click on the
"Setups" tab. Open the "Peripherals" menu and click on
the MIDI Controllers tab.
Step 2.) Click on the small box just below "Type" and
select "MotorMix". Since MotorMate uses the MotorMix
personality file already in ProTools, no special file is
needed.
Step 3.) Click on the small box just below "Receive From"
and select the MotorMate cable input.
Step 4.) Click on the small box just below "Send To" and
select the MotorMate cable output. At this point, the small
box under "# Ch's" should show "8".
Step 5.) Click on the "OK" box in the "Peripherals" menu.
Step 6.) If you are using Pro Tools 5.1, click on the MIDI
tab and select "Input Devices". Click on the MotorMate
listed. This will enable Pro Tools to receive its MIDI input.
Step 7.) In Pro Tools 5.1 and higher, go to the Set up
window and choose Preferences. In the Preferences box,
click on Operation. Then select 'Classic' located in the
Numeric Keypad Mode Section. Classic Numeric Keypad
allows you use the Locate function on MotorMix.
Step 8.) Press the PLAY switch on MotorMate, the
session will start to play and the Time Code display on
MotorMate will show the play time.
Step 9.) Each time you use Pro Tools you should have
MotorMate powered up first to insure that it gets a
complete update of your most recent session settings.

folder.
