MOTU Digital Performer - Transport Control<br />
<strong>MIDI</strong> <strong>Setup</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>: <strong>MIDI</strong> Control with 3rd Party Applications<br />
Here we’ve provided a step-by-step tutorial here for how to configure a <strong>Line</strong> 6 <strong>POD</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> or<br />
<strong>TonePort</strong> KB37, UX2 or UX8 device to remotely control the Transport of the Mark of the Unicorn,<br />
Digital Performer 5 software. (The steps are similar for other Digital Performer versions as well.) It<br />
can be very helpful to have remote or foot control over your Transport functions for recording and<br />
punch-ins!<br />
<strong>MIDI</strong> Control Assignment Configuration<br />
The first step, before even launching Digital Performer, is that we’ll need to configure a set of <strong>MIDI</strong><br />
assignments for the footswitches and pedals of our KB37/UX2/UX8 device. Digital Performer utilizes<br />
<strong>MIDI</strong> CC <strong>com</strong>mands to access its Transport functions remotely. We can assign these <strong>MIDI</strong> CC<br />
<strong>com</strong>mands to our <strong>Line</strong> 6 device using the <strong>Line</strong> 6 <strong>MIDI</strong> Controller Settings dialog.<br />
For a UX2 or UX8, set your Footswitch controllers to send <strong>MIDI</strong> CC messages to have them each<br />
control a Logic Transport function.<br />
• With your UX2/UX8 connected to your USB port, go to System Preferences > <strong>Line</strong> 6 Audio-<br />
<strong>MIDI</strong> Settings dialog<br />
• Select the No Mapping preset, then click on the Settings button to launch the <strong>MIDI</strong> Controller<br />
Settings dialog so that we can edit the settings.<br />
• For KB37, you’ll likely want to configure your on-board transport buttons to control the Digital<br />
Performer transport functions. Therefore, in the <strong>MIDI</strong> Controller Settings dialog, you’ll want to<br />
set all the Transport controllers’ settings to send <strong>MIDI</strong> CC <strong>com</strong>mands, as shown here:<br />
• For UX2 or UX8, you can configure your Footswitch 1 and Footswitch 2 controllers to each<br />
control a transport function. Look at the above <strong>MIDI</strong> Controller Settings for the KB37 Transport<br />
keys and choose the functions you want, then copy these settings to your Footswitch 1 and 2<br />
rows.<br />
• When all the above settings are <strong>com</strong>plete, in the Preset field at the top right of the dialog, type<br />
in a title (e.g. - “Digital Performer Transport”) and click the button to save this as a preset.<br />
• Click Apply, then OK to exit the dialog.<br />
