System 5 and Pro Tools Guide10
Basics
On System 5, you first designate the drive on which you want to create and store Projects.
Projects are where you create Titles, and Titles store and recall Mixes. Titles also contain the Layouts
you create (the arrangement of DAW channels across the System 5 faders and other surface controls).
If you are unfamiliar with any of these concepts, see the System 5 User Guide before proceeding.
Attaching the Pro Tools Workstation to System 5
To attach the Pro Tools workstation to System 5:
1 On the CM401, press MAIN Panel to show the MAIN panel.
2 Select EUCON, then Setup. All workstations recognized on the network are listed.
3 Hold down the Workstation button (below the panel), then press the Select button to the left of the
displayed name of the computer (workstation) on which Pro Tools is installed.
4 The button flashes until communication has been established.
Once the Pro Tools workstation has been attached, you can assign Pro Tools tracks to console strips
and save assignments as Layouts as explained in the next section.
Assigning Pro Tools Tracks to Console Strips
To assign Pro Tools tracks to the System 5 channel strips:
1 Press the Main Panel key in the center section.
2 Select EUCON, then Channels. The Channel Assign Panel appears.
3 In the Channel Assign Panel Viewer, press the key next to the channel you want to assign.
(To display additional channels, press the Page keys.)
4 Activate the Main or Swap channel on the desired strip, then press its Chan Select key.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assign multiple channels.
To assign multiple, consecutive Pro Tools tracks to the console:
1 Press the Main Panel key at the bottom of the Panel Viewer.
2 Press the Channels key in the Main Panel. The Channel Assign panel appears.
We recommend giving each workstation a unique name (instead of typical default names such as
“Mac HD” or similar). For instructions, see “Rename the Pro Tools Workstation” on page 5.
