Configuring MachineControl
To set up a MachineControl device:
1 Make sure your equipment is powered on, and
launch Pro Tools.
2 Choose Setups > Peripherals, and click Ma-
chine Control.
3 In the 9-pin serial section, click Enable.
4 Use the Port pop-up to select the 9-pin or V-
LAN MachineControl port/connection. The
available choices will depend on your platform
and configuration.
The first time MachineControl is enabled, or
when Pro Tools detects a connect or disconnect
on the serial connection, Pro Tools automati-
cally polls the port to see what kind of machine
is connected. This process is referred to as auto
detection. Pro Tools also allows you to choose
the profile from the machine pop-up menu. If
your machine is not auto-detected, or if you
want to use one of the generic profiles, you can
choose it from this pop-up menu. Pro Tools
does not automatically update this setting.
