In this example we will configure Sigma to work together with a Nucleus. You could follow the setup procedure for Pro Tools
+ Sigma (no control surface) however, when using a HUI controller, banking through channels will mis-align the
automation data. e.g. if you use the ‘Channel Right’ button a Nucleus to make the second track in the session appear on
Channel 1 of Nucleus, your automation stream from the second track in your DAW will drive the first analogue channel of
Sigma - not what we want!
To solve this problem, we have provided a
mIDI
automation mode, as found in our Matrix console. This mode works by
using MIDI tracks in your session to control the analogue gains directly, rather than over the HUI/MCU protocols. Therefore,
banking does not have any unwanted effects on the automation data.
