IPMIDI CONFIGURATION

The ipMIDI driver enables your DAW to send and receive MIDI control data via the network connection, and must be configured
to match the requirements of Nucleus before it can be used.
Mac
Once the driver has been installed and you have logge d back in, use the Finder to navigate to the Utilities folder (in
Applications). Double-click Audio MIDI Setup, select MIDI Devices and double-click on the ipMIDI icon. Set the number of
MIDI ports to 6in the resulting pop-up.
Windows
Once the computer has restarted after installing the driver, right-click on the ipMIDIicon in the Task Bar, select ipMidi - MIDI
over Ethernetand set the number of MIDI por ts to 6 in the resulting pop-up.
MIDI Port Mapping
MIDI control for the three Nucleus Layers is split across the six ipMIDI ports which means that your DAW must be configured
to match the following:
Note that CC Layers only use the first MIDI port in their layer. All CC data is sent on MIDI Channel 1.
Setting which ipMIDI ports the DAW should use is performed using the MIDI controller configuration page of your DAW. Below
and overleaf are two examples using ProTools 8 and Logic Pro 9.
ProTools 8
In the Setupmenu, click on Peripherals and select the MIDI Controllers tab.
For MIDI cont rollers 1 and 2, select ‘HUI’ as the
MIDI controller ‘Type’ and assign the MIDI ports
for this layer’s DAW to the two MIDI controllers,
as listed in the table above.
As an example, if Pro Tools has been assigned to
Layer 1 (so using i pMIDI por ts 1 & 2), the MIDI
Controllerstab should look as opposite.
