MIDI Port Mapping
MIDI control for the three Nucleus

Layers is split across the six ipMIDI ports which means that your DAW must be
configured to match the following:
Note that CC Layers only use the first MIDI port in their layer. All CC data is sent on MIDI Channel 1.
Setting which ipMIDI ports the DAW should use is performed using the MIDI controller configuration page of your DAW.
Below and overleaf are two examples using Pro Tools 8 and Logic Pro 9.
Pro Tools
In the Setup menu, click on Peripherals and select the MIDI Controllers tab.
For MIDI controllers 1 and 2, select ‘HUI’ as the MIDI controller ‘Type’ and assign the MIDI ports for this layer’s DAW to the
two MIDI controllers, as listed in the table above.
As an example, if Pro Tools has been assigned to Layer 1 (so using ipMIDI ports 1 & 2), the MIDI Controllers tab should
look as opposite.
