Pro Tools
For Pro Tools compatibility, the US-2400’s HUI
emulation mode is available. Each bank of eight fad-
ers represented by a US-2400 MIDI port may be
assigned as a HUI Controller in Pro Tools by access-
ing the
Peripherals
window under the
Setups
menu—from that menu, click on the
MIDI
Controllers
tab.
1
Put the US-2400 into HUI emulation mode
(factory default):
With the unit in standby mode (
POWER
puls-
ing), press and hold the master
SEL
key and
the
AUX 1
key. Then press the
POWER
key to
enter HUI emulation mode. This setting is
saved through power cycles until manually
changed.
2
Configure three HUI MIDI controllers , each
one assigned to a different US-2400 MIDI port
as shown above.
Each bank of 8 faders on the US-2400 is repre-
sented to the computer as one MIDI port. The
leftmost fader bank containing channels 1
through 8 also includes the master section
controls.
3
Assign the ports as follows: Port 1 represents
faders 1 through 8; Port 2 represents faders 9
through 16; Port 3 represents faders 17
through 24. Note that Port 1 includes the mas-
ter section controls.
NOTE
Later versions of Pro Tools do not install the HUI control
surface plug-in by default. It may either be found on
the Pro Tools installer CD in a separate folder or on the
Digidesign Web site.
Control details
Generally the US-2400’s surface controls function as
expected, controlling their named parameters in Pro
Tools. For example: faders,
MUTE
keys,
SOLO
keys
and transport controls control those parameters in
Pro Tools. Exceptions and specific details follow:
Encoders
These default to control of the channel Pan parame-
ter. Also available are Aux sends 1 through 5 (the
maximum number of Aux sends supported by the
HUI protocol is five). Aux sends are available
directly by pressing the appropriate
AUX
key.
Use the
CHAN
key to enter the MIDI Controller
mode (“MIDI Controller Mode” on page 12).
Pro Tools supports meters via the HUI protocol in
MTR mode.
