PRO TOOLS HUI CONTROL GUIDE
This section describes functionality on Digidesign’s Pro Tools 8 and above. The functionality of other packages will depend
on their implementation of the HUI protocol.

relevant menu.

STATUS Opens or closes the Session Setup window.
TRANS Opens or closes the Transport window.

This group of four buttons provide shortcuts to useful functions in the DAW.

to cancel.
The UNDO button will light if undo is available and flash if redo is available – press it to Undo the last function. Press ALT+
SHIFT+UNDO to Redo the last function.

Modifier Buttons
These buttons modify the function of other buttons. Their function is detailed in the relevant sections of the manual.
OPTION typically changes the function of a single button to affect all similar buttons. For example, holding it down and
pressing a channel CUT button will cut all DAW channels. It is a direct equivalent of the Macintosh Command key.
