11.4 HUI Applications
HUI is a control protocol developed by Mackie that works with most DAWs. The HUI
protocol is limited by the original HUI specification, and thus the MC must emulate the
physical controls of the actual HUI hardware. The original HUI had a two-line 60-char-
acter display, which is displayed as a black box with white characters on the top-right
of the MC Touchscreen when controlling a HUI application. The four left-most Soft
Knobs act as the HUI’s V-Pots. The Soft Keys emulate the other buttons of the HUI
hardware.
11.4.1 Digidesign Pro Tools
Pro Tools is a multitrack recording DAW that is compatible with the HUI controller.
The MC uses HUI commands and extensive Pro Tools key commands to control Pro
Tools operations. It has the additional advantage of being able to control multiple work-
stations from one surface in a studio with multiple Pro Tools systems. HUI commands
are sent/received via high-speed Ethernet rather than MIDI cables, an improvement
over the original HUI hardware’s design.
Installation
Mac OS X users must first install the EuCon Workstation installer (see page 17). To
install required EuCon HUI components to control Pro Tools:
1. Configure the Euphonix software to control Pro Tools as described in Windows
on page 20.
2. Launch Pro Tools.
3. Choose Peripherals from the Operations menu.
The Peripherals dialog opens.
4. Click the MIDI Controllers tab.
