Pro Tools Pre-setup
Configuring Pro Tools
u
Please refer to your Pro Tools documentation on how to configure Pro
Tools and the AVID Pre Guide.
u
In software, click
Pro Tools Pre Setup.
u
In the window that opens, find the section titled '4081 Remote Mic
Control' (below) and select a MIDI Port from the drop down menu,
different to that of the DAW MIDI Ports.
When configuring Pro Tools, please bear this in mind.
The 4081 connects via ipMIDI to Pro Tools over the network/ethernet.
Refer to the DAW Control section on page Error: Reference source
not found for information on how the Genesys connects to your
computer. DAW Control and Mic PRE both use the same ipMIDI
driver and network addresses, therefore the DAW Control settings
apply to both.
The first 4081 unit needs to have the
USB / RS485
switch on the rear of
the unit set to USB (plus a
USB cable
from the unit to the
PC / Mac
).
Subsequent units in the daisy-chain, need to have this switch set to
RS485
(plus the RS485 cable needs to connect these units together).
You can control up to 64 MIC Channels/16 Racks.
u
A single MIDI Port has 16 channels. 8 MIC channels can be controlled
from a single Pro Tools (MIDI) PRE channel
eg. a 16 Channel console
with 4 x 4081's
u
The configuration would be as follows:
In Pro Tools peripherals/MIC Preamps window
u
for the #1 Type :
PRE
Receive From/Send To:
ipMIDI port 1
channel 1
This controls 2 x 4081 racks – Rack 1 and Rack 2
i.e. Channels 1 - 8
u
for the #2 Type :
PRE
Receive From/Send To:
ipMIDI port 1
channel 2
This controls 2 x 4081 racks – Rack 3 and Rack 4
i.e. Channels 9 – 16
...and so on for any additional racks... etc.
