Connecting Serial and MIDI Port Devices
Avid systems support the connection of two different MIDI fader controllers
and a Yamaha
®
01V mixer. The fader controllers and the 01V mixer connect
to the MIDISPORT
™
2x2 USB-to-MIDI converter attached to the USB ports.
The two fader controllers are the JL Cooper FaderMaster Pro
™
and the JL
Cooper MCS-3000X. Avid supports recording automation gain using the
MIDI features of the 01V mixer.
USB and Serial Differences Between Windows and Macintosh
Systems
If you have a Windows system, you most likely have 2 or more USB
connections and one serial connection. If you need more than one serial
connection, Avid recommends using a USB-to-serial adapter. See the
documentation that comes with the device.
If you have a Macintosh system, you might have two USB connectors and no
serial ports. Avid suggests you attach a USB hub to the rear of the system and
use a Keyspan Twin USB-to-serial adapter (Macintosh only) for deck control.
Connecting the USB Hub
The USB hub explained in this section converts one USB port into seven USB
ports. The USB hub kit (see the following figure) contains a USB hub, a power
adapter, and a USB cable.

The USB hub shown in the example might not be the actual USB hub you use.
However, the example shown provides enough information to allow you to
properly connect whatever USB hub you decide to use.
n
The USB hub is supported only when it is powered by an ac adapter.
The USB hub has the following connections:
• USB ports 1 through 7
• Device connection
• On/Off switch
• Power connection
