AWS 924-948 - Solid State Logic

DAW ConnectionSetting Your Workstation(s) to Communicate via ipMIDIThe AWS software uses 10 virtual MIDI ports which are pre-assigned as follows:Port Layer Assignment Port Layer Assignment1 1 Faders 1–8 7 – MTC/MMC input *2 1 Faders 9–16 8 – SysEx3 1 Faders 17–24 9 – AWS MIDI Port 14 2 Faders 1–8 10 – AWS MIDI Port 25 2 Faders 9–166 2 Faders 17–24* Note that MIDI port 4 or ipMiDI port 7 can be used for MTC input, allowing MTC to be connected from systems (such asRADAR) that do not support the ipMIDI driver. MTC should only be routed to one port at a time.• Note that there are now two switchable workstation layers allowing independent workstations to be interfaced.Once configured, you can switch between the two layers using the console’s SSL > DAW menu. Port 7: If yourconsole is equipped with SSL automation, this port is used to feed SSL automation with MTC.• Port 8: Used for the import of legacy SysEx TR and SSL automation data saved under earlier software versions.• Port 9-10: Mapped to the conventional MIDI connectors on the rear of the console allowing connection of a keyboardor other MIDI device to your DAW via ipMIDI .To select which DAW is assigned to each layer go to SSL > MISC > SETUP on your console and select the following:DAW 1: select from Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Performer / SonarDAW 2: select from Protools HUI / Logic / Logic Handshake / Nuendo / Digital Performer / Sonar / NoneAfter making these changes the console should be restarted.The MCU protocol supports automatic detection of connected control surfaces. To enable this select Logic Handshake.Logic will then automatically detect the AWS. If you select Logic Handshake on both layers then Logic will detect 6 controlsurfaces, which may not be what you want! The other protocols do not transmit handshaking messages.To enable control of your workstation via HUI or MCU your workstation(s) must be configured to match the appropriatelayer in the list above. This is done using the MIDI Controller configuration page of your workstation.The following pages show examples using Pro Tools 8 and Logic Pro 9.AWS 924-948 Owner’s Manual Page 1-13
