Excellent achievement, and well-deserved recognition! I have only used ProTools 
for about three years now, but I can say I have seen it considerable evolution 
in the accessibility and user experience  during this period

ok. i’ve only come in half way through this thread. I have the m c u pro. I’ve 
not yet tried to use it to alter plugging settings. Just something i’ve not yet 
got around to doing. How ever are you saying that without the flip to fader 
mode, i will not be able to change any plugging settings with this surface 
using protools. If this is the case, than that’s fine, i’d just like to know 
for future reference. Maybe i’ll need a different surface at some stage.

2016-02-08 Thread Slau Halatyn
Hi Steve,

You should still be able to access parameters but they simply wouldn't be 
mapped to the faders but rather the encoder knobs. The nice thing about fader 
flip mode is that you have a tactile representation of the parameter values and 
can easily detect switches because they're either fully down or fully up as in 
off and on.

 Hi Matthew,
 
 
 
 Thanks for writing!
 
 
 
 Unfortunately with using the HUI mode on the MCU Pro for Pro Tools
 does not have a flip to fader feature. Now if you are using Logic,
 Tracktion, Cubase or other DAWs that use either Mackie Control or
 Logic Control you will be able to use the flip to fader feature.
 Unfortunately there are more functionality limitations with HUI
 because Avid has not updated the protocol communication between the
 MCU and Pro Tools. Avid hasn’t really done any updates to HUI
 implementation since Avid has their own control surfaces that use the
 EUCON protocol.
 
 
 
 Let us know if you have any questions.
 
 
 
 All the best,
 
 
 
 Technical Support

yes. that sounds like it would make things very easy to work out what’s

Re: Digi 003

2016-02-08 Thread Ricky Prevatte
So to recap, going to mention logic Pro X here. My purpose in purchasing a 003 
was to use it in ProTools 11 or 12 and also to be able to bounce over to logic 
Pro X. If we are to use flip mode it will not work unless  we have an avid 
product specifically for ProTools. If you have that then it most likely will 
not work in flip mode in logic Pro X. We get in coders for ProTools with the 
Mackie and flip mode for logic Pro X with the Mackie. I am waiting to get my 
money back for my 003 then I can make a decision as to what I may purchase for 
my control surface for both platforms.
