HUI Control Surface and PT First 2019.5
 

I just downloaded the update for ProTools First v2019.5
I would now like to get my Mackie Control Universal to connect but don't see where to do that in PT First. And yes I know v2018 didn't have the ability for control surfaces, but version 2019.5 should according the the Avid comparison page. What am I doing wrong or did Avid make a mistake in the online documentation?

Here is a screen shot of the comparison of each ProTools versions.

If it's available in that version it would be under Setup --> Peripherals --> MIDI Controllers. You'd need to have the MCU set for HUI mode if available. Not familiar enough with the MCU to know if that's possible.

There is no Peripherals under Setup, that's the first place I looked.
I've had my MCU setup for years on my older PT 8 HD rig. The MCU has been loosing connection there so thought I'd see if it would work on PT First now that HUI-Compatible Control Surface is now showing as supported.

Thanks for the help though.

I'm sure, like many options missing in the PTF, web site is not updated or someone put the detail on the web without checking, as previously HUI is not supported.

Hang tight, I'm trying to get an official answer on this.

Hi Jakeman, sorry, HUI and Eucon are not supported on Pro Tools First. Peripherals are not available on this free DAW. I've forwarded the concern to the team to correct the info on the website.

Thanks,
