MIDI Controller Numbers
If you do not have a Pro Tools Control Surface, 
you can use a third-party MIDI control surface 
to control PRE in Pro Tools.
The following information assumes you have a 
familiarity with MIDI protocol.
For more information on reprogramming your 
control surface, refer to its documentation, or 
contact the manufacturer.
PRE MIDI Data
These messages are all of the form:
BXh cc vv
In this case, X means zero-based MIDI channel 
(1–16), cc means controller number, and vv 
means value.
All values are in hexadecimal format and may 
need to be converted to decimal for some MIDI 
devices.
X indicates the PRE’s MIDI channel minus 
one (for example, for PRE MIDI channel 1, 
X = 0).
