Configuring Pro Tools
To configure Pro Tools for your MIDI control
surface:
1 Choose Setups > Peripherals and click on
MIDI Controllers.
2 Choose your MIDI control surface device
name from the Type pop-up menu.
3 Choose the MIDI control surface’s source port
from the Receive From pop-up menu.
4 Additionally, if you are using the PC–1600,
choose a MIDI channel in the Source Port sub-
menu in the Receive From pop-up menu to re-
ceive data. The MM-16, DC-16 and the CS–10
main unit always transmit on MIDI channel 16,
and the optional eight fader CS–10
x
expander
units always transmit on MIDI channel 15.
5 Choose a destination port from the Send To
pop-up menu.
6 If you are using the PC–1600, choose a MIDI
channel in the Destination Port submenu in the
Send To pop-up menu to transmit data. The
MM-16, DC-16 and the CS–10 main unit always
receive on MIDI channel 16, and the optional
eight fader CS–10
x
expander units always re-
ceive on MIDI channel 15.
7 If your MIDI control surface has more than
eight channel strips (such as JL Cooper’s CS–10
2
with additional CS–10
x
expansion modules), or
if you are using multiple devices of the same
type in series, choose the appropriate number of
channel strips from the pop menu under #Ch’s.
