Default Midas M32 as Control Surface

Hi,
I just purchased a Midas M32 Live console. The board has some DAW control, but from what I can see it only controls the faders on ProTools. If I move a fader on the M32 or PT, they mirror each other fine. But that seems to be the only thing you can control. I tried something simple, like panning, and their is no response in either direction from M32 and PT. Has anyone been able to set these basic motor functions to respond on PT with a Midas M32?

Its only going to have basic HUI function(and IIRC, only the 8 faders in the master section will work). Have you set up in Peripherals?

Yeah, Peripherals have been set up. It will mirror the fader moves, but not he panning. In Logic, these midi commands can be learned, but in Pro Tools, I can't get it to recognize panning from the console.

Hmmm, not sure but it might be a limitation of PT Express

With all the limitations of PTE, maybe give Reaper a try? Its free to demo and like $69 to buy if you like it

I believed the Transport functions worked as well but that’s it

Basic HUI

What's interesting is that I can get it to work in Logic. Logic has a learn function for midi commands. I can't imagine that PT doesn't have a similar way for something so basic as panning control.

Logic doesn't sell dedicated control surfaces. Avid does.
