Chapter 3: Mackie HUI Control Surface 27
Communication with HUI
Here are some general guidelines for communi-
cation between HUI and Pro Tools:
Pro Tools On-Screen Dialog Warnings
Certain dialog messages that appear on-screen
in Pro Tools will also appear in the HUI display.
You must close these dialogs before continuing
work with the HUI.
Pro Tools “Lost Communication”
Message
If Pro Tools loses communication with the HUI,
it will display “OFFLINE” in its Time Counter
Display. If this occurs, turn off power to the
HUI, wait a few seconds, and then turn on the
HUI again. If communication problems persist,
check connections to the HUI.
When Pro Tools has reestablished communica-
tions with the HUI, the far-right decimal point
LED in the Time Code Display will flash, indi-
cating that communication has been estab-
lished and is valid.
If you are not using the HUI, deselect it in the
MIDI Controllers field in the Peripherals dialog.
WINDOW Switches
The WINDOW switches control the display of
on-screen windows in Pro Tools:
MIX and EDIT Bring the window to the fore-
ground. The switch LEDs light to indicate the
currently active window.
TRANSPORT Opens or closes the Transport win-
dow.
ALT Opens or closes the floating window for the
currently selected plug-in.
STATUS Opens or closes the Session Setup win-
dow.
MEM LOC Opens or closes the Memory Loca-
tions window.
The Transport, Memory Location, Session Setup
and Inserts/Sends windows are all floating win-
dows. The switches for these windows also bring
an open window to the foreground. Pressing its
switch closes the window if a floating window is
already in the foreground.
