1.4 DAW Control Driver
The SQ has 32 MIDI fader strips and options for Soft Keys that enable it to be
used as a control surface for all major Digital Audio Workstations through use
of the DAW Control Driver.
The DAW Control Driver is a program that connects to the SQ via MIDI over
USB or TCP/IP and creates virtual MIDI ports in the computer. It can then
translate MIDI messages from the SQ into either HUI or MCU control surface
messages for use with a DAW.
In addition to the translations
, a ‘
MIDI Thru
’ option is provided which allows
MIDI messages to pass through unaffected. This is the easiest way to
communicate with an SQ on a network by using MIDI over TCP/IP.
Visit the Allen & Heath website (
) to download the latest
version of the DAW Control Driver and read the DAW Control Help document
for information on setup and configuration.
