MIDI Out 1 and MIDI Out 2 are the back
panel 5-pin MIDI connectors. C8 Surface
(Windows) and Command|8 Port 1 (Mac)
represent the USB MIDI connection between
Pro Tools and Command|8.
On Mac, Command|8 Port 1 must only be
used for control surface communication. If
using Command|8 as a MIDI interface as
well as a control surface, check all MIDI
tracks to make sure they are assigned to Port
2 or Port 3. Do not assign MIDI tracks to
Port 1.
For more information, see “Controlling
PRE” on page 36.
