How do i connect Roland A49 as midi controller in pro tools

[sivaprasad]

Hi,

I am trying to connect my new Roland A49 to Pro Tools 11 running on Macbook pro, Mavericks. It is working fine with Ableton live installed on the same system and my drivers are all updated. I was using novation nocturn before and never had any issues. Pleas help!

Thankyou

You're connecting the A49 to your computer with USB?

Is the controller set up properly in Audio MIDI Setup?

Have you enabled the controller in Pro Tools (Setup> MIDI> Input Devices)?

it is connected through usb, the drivers are installed but it is not showing in the midi setup. Strangely it is working with live and logic!!!

I had a similar problem and found at that all I had to do was right click on Pro Tools and check the box next to Login As Administrator. Then when I opened Pro Tools, my A49 began working.

I am using MAC!

Could you please tell me what is your setting in Pro Tools perepherals? what shoule be the settings in peripherals?

I don't have anything in my Setup > Peripherals. Just under Midi Input Devices. And I have to make sure I login as administrator.

I am asking about page and the setting here. Roland A49 is not available as an option. DO i use HUI?

Also how do i login as administrator from mac?

I don't have a Mac so I'm not positive but I think You can look in the Account System Preferences for the checkbox that says "Allow user to administer this computer." Again, not sure about this. To address your earlier question, On my Windows 8.1 machine I didn't have to populate anything under Peripherals, I didn't select HUI or any of the other choices. My A49's two rotary controls still control some of the parameters in PT's virtual instruments.
