and microphone and/or processor to the Output
To Amp 1 (L) output and the appropriate input
on Eleven Rack.

the same room as your Pro Tools system, be
sure to turn off or mute your monitor
speakers, to avoid feedback.

Controlling Eleven Rack
Parameters with MIDI Data
Using MIDI tracks in Pro Tools, you can record
real time changes to your Rig settings, edit
them, and play them back to Eleven Rack. This
can be quite powerful when re-amping signals
through Eleven Rack.
In the following example, you’ll control the Rig
Volume parameter in Eleven Rack with MIDI
data from Pro Tools.
To control the Rig Volume on Eleven Rack with
MIDI CC data from Pro Tools:
1 Create a MIDI track in Pro Tools.
2 Assign its output to Predefined > Eleven Rack >
channel-1.
3 On Eleven Rack, press and hold the Edit but-
ton for 1 second to enter User Options mode.
4 Scroll with the Scroll wheel to MIDI, and press
the SW1 switch.
5 Use the lit Control knob to choose a MIDI re-
ceive channel. In this example, use channel 1.
6 In the Pro Tools Edit window, select MIDI Vol-
ume in the Track View menu for the MIDI track
you’ve created. You’ll see a line running across
the track. This is the MIDI CC envelope.
7 With the Pencil tool, draw a curving line from
the beginning of the track to a point around 10
seconds later.
8 Press Play on the Pro Tools transport. You will
see the Rig Volume setting on the Eleven Rack
Control window move in time to match the
curve you’ve drawn.
This technique can be used for any of the MIDI
CC controls Eleven Rack can respond to.
For a full list of MIDI CC data that Eleven
Rack can accept, See Chapter 11, “Control-
ling Eleven Rack with MIDI.”.
For more information on using MIDI CC
data in Pro Tools, see the Pro Tools Refer-
ence Guide, which can be accessed from
within Pro Tools by selecting Help > Pro
Tools Reference Guide.
