ProjectMix I/O User Guide
35
Drag and drop your MIDI connections between the ProjectMix I/O and Mackie Control icons, as shown below:
Now launch Digital Performer. Select Control Surface Setup from the SETUP menu. Under Driver, select Mackie Control. Under Unit, select
Mackie Control. Under MIDI, select Mackie Control – 1. Click Okay.
Your ProjectMix I/O is now ready to control Digital Performer.
NOTE
: In most cases, a single control on the ProjectMix I/O is mapped to a single function in Digital Performer. In the case of virtual
instruments and plug-ins, sometimes multiple button presses will bring up different functions. Many virtual instruments and plug-ins can
contain up to 50 pages of parameters or more; this, combined with the sheer number of plug-ins and virtual instruments available, makes
it beyond the scope of this manual to document them all. We have therefore focused on the control aspects specific to Digital Performer
itself.
In addition, we have not included in this section control functions that are covered elsewhere in this manual, such as Channel Faders,
Mute, Solo, Select, Record and Transport buttons. These controls operate in Digital Performer the same way as described earlier the section
about the Pro Tools mode.
NOTE
: You may occasionally notice a delay of up to a full second after sending a command from the ProjectMix I/O before it is reflected in
Digital Performer’s GUI. This is due to the way Digital Performer interfaces with all control surfaces, and is considered normal behavior.
