Protosx Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi everybody, sorry for my (maybe) stupid question: It's clear that with the MBHP_MF_NG module I can choose Makie HUI emulation for 8 faders to work with ProTools. This is what I did. I upgraded my midibox LC ( see the topic " I've built my dream") with 4 new MF_NG module connected directly to GM5 Midi ports. The work really fine with PT9. My question is: What about buttons (mute, solo, rec, sel, transport, etc)? Which core module I have to use? With which emulation? Should I have to connect each MF_NG module to each core? Which is the master core module (with transport)? I have 32 ch midibox lc (originally was 4 x core 8 + 4 x OLD MF modules now ugrated to the new), so it's not so clear to me what I have to do. Please give me the light!! Thank you very much in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artyman Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) There's no need to upgrade the core module, the MBHP MF_NG can be connected to the PIC core.... see this thread:- basically, the MF_NG module is placed between the GM5 and the core8 module, 1 MF_NG module per core.

Protosx Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 There's no need to upgrade the core module, the MBHP MF_NG can be connected to the PIC core.... see this thread:- basically, the MF_NG module is placed between the GM5 and the core8 module, 1 MF_NG module per core. First of all, thank you very much for your fast reply!!! It's clear how to connect them, but I still have a big doubt: I have to use my midibox with PT9, so, MF_NG will be configured as HUI emulation, but what about the core8? Logic Control or Mackie Control emulation? How will they be seen by PT9? How do I have to set PT9? The olny way (that I know up to now) is to select HUI and in this way the motorfaders are working really fine with MF_NG modules, but what about buttons and encoders? Will they work under PT in LC emulation on core8 linked to MF_NG? This is my big question. Thank you very much for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artyman Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 You're welcome, Unfortunately I've never used PRO-TOOLS, so I can't really help much further, but have you tried the Logic Control XT or Mackie Control XT emulation modes?

Protosx Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thank you again Artyman for your fast reply. In my rec studio I have a Protools 9 HD3 (1 core + 3 process) and a Pro Control (it's fantastic!!!!). What I want to do is to make an expansion for Pro Control (3 x midibox with 8 faders + 8 encoders and buttons). I've tested MF_NG with HUI emulations and it' working fine, but I can use only one midibox (PT allows to use only one midi control surface together with Procontrol which is LAN connected). That's why I need to upgrade to Core LPC17; they have LAN connection so I can connect with ProControl. In this way I have to connect MF_NG midi ports to LPC17 midi ports and Lan port to the PC. Am I right? But the problem is the same: How I have to configure Core LPC17? Which emulation? If someone can help me I'll apreciate a lot!!!!!!!!
