I do think that's possible. Link to the file in the description.

Choose Operations > Active in Background to restore communication.

Read the instructions!

V Control allows the Pro Control to function again, which in itself makes it very usable. Since it connects via HUI protocol you're limited to the commands, so it does not allow the Pro Control to function completely as it did originally. It has everything I need, including plugin control. If you need full control, use Avid Control.

1. You don't need an HD Rig. It speaks directly to HUI protocol. 2. The 4 arrows in the master section allowed me to zoom a number of different ways. 3. Talk back is part of the analog monitor section of the Pro Control, so if you choose to use it, it works. 4. I don't know. I use mine as a control surface and Presonus Central Station for my monitors.

thanks so much for the reply!

@@MegaManDrum so it works in studio one ???

No, not HUI

I do a complete disassembly and rebuild with reaming of the slide and lubrication, because the design is made to fail over time. The digifader is a good design however, and cold temperatures make them operate even worse. The capacitive touch feature can fail too... But fortunately I have found the compromised component on the circuit

Can you go into Utility > Test >Fader and recalibrate. Do all the faders move?

@@MegaManDrum only 3-8, first fader doesn't move at all, the second one moves only up to "0254". the other ones that work move up to '1200". not sure on what the unit of measurement the screen displays

@@Drumbum1147 The first fader could truly be dead, but I good test would be to swap #1 with #8. If after the swap, fader #1 is still dead, you probably have a board issue. #2 needs reconditioning and could be back in working order. I would suggest swapping those 2 faders first to see if that first one is truly dead.

@@Drumbum1147 another safe test for #1 is power down and move fader #1 half way up. Then power up. Some faders tend to stick really good at 0% or 100%. This might loosen it enough to see a slight movement on startup, or recalibration, which is good and means #1 just needs reconditioning as well

@@MegaManDrum i got it figured out, i finally opened up the damn thing to look inside. the 2nd fader was stuck.When i unscrewed it, one of the mounting arms (where the screw goes into) was bent, which left the fader slightly offset, rubbing against the slot that it fits into. i bent the mounting arms back into shape and works fine now. As for the first fader, thats a different story. The belt between the two motor snapped unfortunately, and trying to test it, the motors wont move either. I'm guessing they burnt out from moving freely without the tension of the belt. Now i have to search the internet to find a replacement DigiFader. looks pretty easy though. Thanks for all your help though!

Plugin and insert control is possible with Pro Control, but not with the Control 24

Do all the assign buttons work that allow you to assign inputs, outputs & inserts?

@@jimmydooley81 I haven't tried that yet.

I haven't dug deep into plugin control but it will show on the master strips and can be controlled.

@@MegaManDrum That's good. Same with the Mackie HUI. But only the older plugs have all the parameter labels correct. The new plug labels and assignments are mixed up or nonsense. I'm trying to decide if there are any advantages to using ProControl versus the HUI. ProControl is a little less expensive on the used market.

@@MegaManDrum One other quick question, how do you have ProControl connected to your computer? What are you using? Thanks.

@@ErikHawk I have a Pro Control and Expansion Pack connected to a Linksys Ethernet switch, and that is connected to the main ethernet port on my PC. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit. I installed V-Control Pro and it set up everything with very little to do in my end. The software found the ethernet devices and linked up, and I just assigned HUI controllers with the new V-Control virtual midi ports and was off and running. There are still some issues I have been trying to work out with Neyrinck but haven't gotten any further lately, one issue is the surface dropping out/freezing intermittently, but almost always kicks back on after a few moments

@@MegaManDrum Wow, that's great info. Thanks so much. I just use the MIDI ports on my HUI into a MOTU MTP AV, no ethernet. The bi-directional MIDI protocol is slower but no dropouts ever. Good luck getting the kinks ironed out. The ProControl is wonderfully cheap right now. Who says you need new gear to make great music, right? :-)

It is extremely easy to set up, just assign HUI controllers in Pro Tools to V-control Pro midi ports, that it installs itself. There are subscriptions or in my case, I purchased the full license and don't need to pay annually. I am using this on Windows 7 64 Bit

Skhot K thank you so much for the info

Yes it does. Since there are more LED segments than midi messages for HUI, a few LEDs are paired up, but it still looks smooth to me. Peak metering hasn't been implemented yet, not sure why.

I use the v control with a main unit+fader pack and now + an edit pack. Individual meters work but master meters don’t. It’s a pity. Edit packs meters are big and nice ;(

Considering I get the use of my mixing platform again, albeit not to its absolute full capability, I am extremely pleased. Many of the go-to functions are there for me, and it is very accurate as far as latency is concerned. There are a few bugs still but nothing that severely hampers my work flow. When banking per channel or groups of 8, the meters will freeze if they become a blank channel after banking, and the surface will occasionally, but rarely, go offline. I close V-control Pro and then restart, all is well again. Other than those 2 issues nothing else has happened that is a major problem. Totally worth the cost to use this surface again, and I am hoping for future developments and using at last the basics in other programs... In my case MixBus 32C v5.

Skhot K sweet I’m really considering picking up a control 24 since they’re not more more expensive than a controller like the presonus 16 channel controller.

@@DJILLEE The Control 24 is a different situation... It actually is lacking in a few more features than the Pro Control, but majority of the basic functionality is there.

I would open a ticket for support at neyrinck.com/support

A program called V-Control Pro

You can download a copy of my project file for Bome MT and have a look at my controller files (both sending to Pro Tools and received from Pro Tools), as well as the mandatory Ping translators. The only thing that will change on your end are what messages your mixer faders send out... You'll need to change the messages on my file to the messages that match your controller: drive.google.com/file/d/0B0KZ8iemkDtFa1ZCMTRaUHFrRWc/view?usp=drivesdk

Thanks! Really appreciate your help by sending the file. I did study it for a while and understand I have to change my messages, although I'm confused about some preliminary stuff. Such as what to set my peripherals as in Pro Tools (HUI - receive/send), and what ports to use for each entry. Basically I'm trying to get my Allen & Heath ZedR16 to work with Pro Tools 12.7.1. Should I be setting my ports to the ZedR16 or should I be using the Bome Virtual Ports. Or is there something else important that I'm missing. Honestly I'm quite in the dark. I've spent several days researching on the internet but have had no luck with a resource to help my specific situation. I just want to be able to move a fader on my controller and have the fader move in Pro Tools :) Any other help or insight is greatly greatly appreciated! You clearly know what you are talking about judging by your video. Thank in advance!

+Ink of the Dragon Page 47 of your user manual will show exactly what messages your ZED r16 sends. All you need to do is connect to your computer, and have your mixer show up as a midi device. You can then open the log in BMT and open your ZED, it should appear as a midi device. Once you have signal into BMT from buttons or faders, you can use my template. Virtual ports 1-4 are used in PT under HUI

You can assign any buttons or faders to control any type of midi message using Bome Midi Translator. They're connected directly to the computer via RS232.

ty very much where can i buy it.I search on amzon.

Well you're in luck my friend, because the X-Touch supports HUI. No Bome translator needed.

I know that's what I thought when i purchased it. But looking into it further it seem many functions don't work.... and for me it is completely unresponsive in Pro Tools. I opened a project in logic using MC and the X touch worked perfectly. But for some reason it won't do anything in pro tools 11. I was able to get some basic functions working using Bome, that's about it.

This is an obsolete way of doing it now. There is software available now, in this video I built and programmed a circuit board to make it work. The controller have RS232 connection, but went into the computer USB. The faders send CC messages

ty verymuch!

I'd be glad to send you my template. Bome Midi Translator can allow the CS-10 and many other controllers to work with Pro Tools. It's definitely possible

Thank you so much . . I've been at this for a week now, and was about to give up. I have Bome Midi Translator, but I just couldn't configure it. But with your template, I know that I can tweak it for the CS-10. I will need the HUI for Pro Tools also, probably. My email is: k1eprojectstudio@gmail.com

Those are long long long long gone!!!

They were also free Hahaha!

Maybe, that controller may send and receive different messages, so you'll need to find out what those message are, and use this program to translate and route the midi

Thanks, any mac compatible program like yours??

Bome Midi Translator is available for OSX. Feel free to check it out and start using your control surface.

Thankd alot ill try it out

Sure

+Skhot “MegaMan” K Can you post a link or what's the best way? I didn't see a way to send a private message on your account page. Actually you can now go to my link and click the about to get an email address for me. Thanks!

The MEGA is flashed with Hiduino, making it a class-compliant midi device. I can send and receive midi to the MEGA this way, receiving midi messages for VU and controlling the appropriate LEDs via programming

Thanks, but i was specifically talking about the software. How did you interpret the MIDI data? Which specific data was useful?

+Skhot “MegaMan” K out of all the data you received, did you ignore all but the VU? Or did you have to handle other data as well (ping, etc.)

+Brandon Canfield all other data was ignored

+Skhot “MegaMan” K gotcha, thanks!
