Pro Tools | PRE™ is designed especially for use
with Pro Tools
®
systems, but it can also be used as
a stand-alone microphone preamplifier. When
used with Pro Tools, most PRE features can be
controlled from within the Pro Tools application.
With or without remote control, PRE can be con-
figured manually using its front panel switches and
displays.
PRE can also be remotely-controlled by other
MIDI devices through standard MIDI controller
data. See Chapter 6, “MIDI Controller Numbers.”
