It is possible to map HUI Strips to the surface in the same fashion as EuCon applications.
The difference, however, is that only the HUI Strips are mapped, and not the actual Pro
Tools channels. This means that once HUI Strips are mapped, the HUI layer can “move”
underneath (by Banking or Nudging), and the Pro Tools tracks as they appear on the
surface will change accordingly.
For example: say you open your Pro Tools session and have 2 HUI modules assigned. By
default, channels 1-16 are assigned to HUI Strips 1-16 and then onto Surface Strips 1-16
respectively. You proceed to Direct Assign HUI Strips 5-8 onto the 4 MC Control faders
(or MC Pro fader unit). When you HUI Bank, the HUI Layer “moves” to the right by 16
channels (2 banks). Pro Tools channels 17-32 are now assigned to HUI Strips 1-16, and
the 4 Surface Strips assigned earlier now display Pro Tools channels 21-24 (5+16=21
and 8+16=24). The Surface Mapping did not change; the HUI layer simply moved, pass-
ing on a different set of Pro Tools channels to the surface through the HUI layer.
Figure 11-20 HUI layer and Surface Mapping
In the image above, you can see that Surface Mapping takes place between the HUI layer
and the Surface Strips. HUI Strips are that are mapped to the Surface simply pass on the
track data from the assigned channel in Pro Tools.
Storing Layouts:
It is currently not possible to store Layouts as part of a Pro Tools session. EuConware
applications have this added benefit which enables this data to be stored with the session
/ project files. Using Pro Tools markers with Show / Hide track data can achieve similar
results. These can also be recalled from the surface using Soft Keys.
