Pro Tools Control Setup
Control is sent and received between the 4081 and Pro Tools via USB or
RS 485 protocol.
It is necessary for a suitable driver to be installed on the Pro Tools computer
such as the MIDIOverLAN driver available from
www.nerds.de
.
For more information, please click on the above link.
NB:
Without this driver installed, none of the midi ports will appear as described
below.
The first 4081 unit needs to have the USB / RS485 switch on the rear of
the unit set to USB (plus a USB cable from the unit to the PC / Mac).
Subsequent units in the daisy-chain, need to have this switch set to
RS485 (plus the RS485 cable needs to connect these units together).
Open the Remote Mic Control.app application.
This will appear either as an icon on the desktop or can be accessed from
the Applications folder.
On the main page, click Setup and the General screen will open.
At the top of the screen, click MIDI.
In both upper displays, click the Midi In and Midi Out you wish to link
and then click Link Port.
The ports that have been linked will appear in the lower window.
Repeat for as many midi ports you wish to link.
These midi streams must match those set in Pro Tools.
Under the lower window, click Start Midi.
The Start Midi button will now say Stop Midi to indicate that the midi
communication has been started.
On the main screen, MIDI ON will be displayed in green text (just above
the rack 8 icon) to show that the midi comms have been started.

Depending on how your Mac
is configured, you may need
to enable the USB port in
Setup / Communication.
Before starting the software or powering the unit on,
please ensure it is connected via USB first.
