Daw Connection - Solid State Logic AWS 900+ Owner's Manual

Installation and Setup

DAW Connection

The AWS 900+ console communicates with a DAW directly via three high-speed MIDI ports. Using this method
of communication allows the AWS 900+ to be used with a wide variety of DAW applications on a wide variety of
platforms. The AWS 900+ uses a 'HUI' compatible protocol, and so any DAW program that can be configured to
use three HUI devices can access the full power of the AWS 900+.
Please refer to your DAW manual for details on how to configure the DAW application for AWS 900+ control.
Connection and Setup
Physical connection between the AWS 900+ console and your DAW system is very simple. The console
communicates with the DAW via the MIDI ports located on the rear of the console:
MIDI 1
IN
IN
MIDI ports should be connected to your DAW MIDI interface unit – three available ports are required (one port
includes an IN and OUT socket). To connect a port, the output of the MIDI interface unit port 1 should connect
to the MIDI 1 input port of the AWS 900+. Also, the MIDI output of the AWS 900+ port 1 should connect to the
input of your MIDI interface unit port 1. Repeat for the other ports using the diagram above as a guide.
Note that ports 5 and 6 are currently not implemented and are reserved for future expansion.
Please note that the recommended maximum length of MIDI cables is 15 metres.
Other MIDI connections
If your system is fitted with Total Recall you should also connect AWS 900+ MIDI port 4 to an unused port on
the DAW MIDI interface.
