DAW Control
Communication with your DAW
The AWS connects to your chosen DAW via three MIDI ports at the rear of the console or via MIDI over Ethernet. Each
A
WS DAW layer emulates three HUI or MCU controllers. The HUI and Mackie Control (MCU) protocol are widely
supported by DAW manufacturers.
Section 1 details the MIDI and/or network connections between console and computer and the installation of the
i
pMIDI driver software and how to configure Protools and Logic. Information relating to other DAW systems is included
later in this section.
R
efer to your DAW manual for information on how to configure your software. Once configured and connected,
communication with the DAW will be initialised, and the level of the AWS channel faders, rotary controls and master
functions will be set to match the DAW controls (provided you are in DAW Focus mode and have the right DAW layer
enabled).
When using your DAW without the AWS, you should remove the AWS from the MIDI controllers section of your DAW
(please see the information specific to your DAW).
Logic Handshaking
Logic Audio uses a challenge - response system to automatically detect connected controllers when it boots up. This feature
can be enabled by selecting ‘Logic Handshake’ when choosing the protocol type in SSL > Misc > Setup. Selecting any
other MCU protocol will disable this feature.
