The C10 HD console is able to communicate with a DAW directly via Ethernet.
To use the interface a third party ipMIDI software driver will need to be installed on the DAW computer. Using this
method of communication allows the C10 HD to be used with a wide variety of DAW applications on a number of
different platforms. The C10 HD uses a ‘HUI’ compatible protocol.
Please refer to your DAW manual for details on how to configure the DAW application for C10 HD under HUI control.

The console features a dedicated ipMIDI connector for linking to DAW controllers as shown opposite. Connect this port
directly to your workstation computer’s Ethernet connector using a standard Ethernet lead. (If using a PC, it may be
necessary for the Ethernet lead to be of the ‘crossover’ type).
The ipMIDI data may also be connected to the workstation computer via a local network. Note however that ipMIDI
implementation uses is a multicast UDP protocol which can increase the network traffic. On larger systems it may be of
advantage to configure the facility’s network routers to block the ipMIDI data from destinations other than the DAW computer.
The ipMIDI multicast group adderss is 255.0.0.37.

After downloading the ipMIDI files from the link shown above, run the ‘
setupipmidi_1.x.exe’
application (note
that the revision number will depend on the version you are installing) by double clicking on it. You will have to restart
the computer at the end of the setup process. Once the computer has restarted, right click on the ‘ipMIDI’ icon in the
task bar and set the number of MIDI ports to 12 in the resulting pop-up.
If you are upgrading an older copy of ipMIDI it will be necessary to uninstall the previous version (using Add/Remove
programs) before running the installer.
The IP address of the console’s ipMIDI port is 192.168.1.2. This is
a static address and cannot be altered.
Enter this number into the ‘ Default gateway ’ field of the TCP/IP
Properties window.
