003 Top Panel
003 Operating Modes
003 can be in any of five states when it is on:
• Standby mode
• Pro Tools mode
• MIDI mode
• Third Party Software mode
• Utility mode
Standby Mode
003 is in this mode when you first power on the
unit, waiting for you to launch Pro Tools (or an-
other supported application).
In Standby mode, the unit displays “003 Of-
fline” in the top row of the 003 display and the
Monitor Mute switch is enabled (lit).
In Standby mode, the Monitor section and MIDI
I/O ports are available, without having to power
on the computer.
Pro Tools Mode
003 is in this mode when the 003 unit is con-
nected to a computer and Pro Tools LE software
is running.
If Pro Tools is running and no Pro Tools session
is open, the unit normally displays “Open or
create a new session.” When a session is being
launched, the display changes to “Loading a ses-
sion.”
When a Pro Tools session is open, the unit mir-
rors the on-screen controls. 003 faders, transport
switches, rotary knobs, and switches control the
corresponding elements in Pro Tools. You can
also use 003 MIDI ports as you would those on a
standard MIDI interface.
In Pro Tools mode, the Monitor section and
MIDI I/O ports are available with a session open
or closed.
To put 003 in Pro Tools mode:
1 Make sure the 003 unit is properly connected
to the computer and powered on.
2 If Mute is disabled (unlit), enable Mute by
pressing the Monitor Mute switch so that it is lit.
3 Launch Pro Tools LE and open or create a
Pro Tools session.
If no session is open and a Workspace
browser is open and being used for audition-
ing an audio file, the unit displays “Work-
ing.”
