On the DM-24 EXTERNAL CONTROL page use the cursor to point to the JUMP TO SCREEN icon and press ENTER. This will take you to the HUI control screen.
SEND A-E refer to aux sends. If you point to A and press ENTER, the encoders on the LCD will show you all of the levels for the first aux send on the channels viewed. Using the cursors, you can highlight the encoder area and adjust them 4 at a time.
Pressing SHIFT flips the aux send controls from the POD knobs to the faders. This allows you to control the aux sends 8 at a time with touch sensitive faders.
When PAN is solid, it will show you the pan settings for all channels viewed on the encoders on the LCD screen. Press ENTER and PAN will flash. This simply removes PAN control from the POD knobs. Moves made with the HUI emulation are recorded in Pro Tools automation, NOT with the DM-24 automation. MTC sent from Pro Tools is used to trigger the DM-24’s internal automation. This is helpful as you are running audio in to the DM-24. If you are ONLY using the DM-24 as a “control surface” and mixing in Pro Tools, the MTC going to the DM-24 is not needed.
