DAW CONTROL
I
NTRODUCTION
AWS δ elta communicates with connected DAWs using MIDI ports – either MIDI over Ethernet (ipMIDI) or the physical
MIDI ports located on the rear of the console. Please refer to Section 1 of this manual “Installation and Setup” for
informataion regarding MIDI connection, software installation and workstation configuration.
When connected to a Digital Audio Workstation which supports either the HUI or Mackie Control Universal (MCU)
protocols, the AWS becomes a powerful digital work surface controller, giving direct access to the most important
controls within the DAW. The console faders can be used to control the workstation faders and sends, the 24 channel
V-pots can be used to control pans, sends and I/O functions and the Master Control Panel and plug-in controller provide
easy access to a range of other parameters.
Provided the Logictivity option has been enabled the AWS can control two DAWs simultaneously from two virtual ‘layers’.
For an up to date list of compatible DAW applications please go to the AWS support pages at
http://www.solidstatelogic.com
- Pro Tools and a number of other DAWs support the HUI protocol.
For further information (based on Pro Tools 11) see Pages 4-9 through 4-30.
- Many other DAWs, including Sonar, Nuendo and Digital Performer, support the MCU protocol.
For further information, see Page 4-31.
Please refer to the controller documentation that came with your DAW
