About Remote Function

The 01V96i’s Remote function enables you to control external
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) equipment, MIDI devices,
etc.
There are two types of Remote functions (Remote and
Machine Control):
■REMOTE (Remote Layer)
To use these types of Remote functions, you must connect the
01V96i to a target device via USB or an optional
MY16-mLAN card installed in the slot, and operate the faders
and [ON] buttons on the top panel to control the external
device remotely.
You can specify a target device and parameter values on the
DIO/Setup | Remote page. This layer is enabled when you
turn on the LAYER [REMOTE] button. During Remote oper-
ation, the controls on the top panel enable you to control the
external device. (You cannot adjust the 01V96i’s parameters
unless you select a different layer.)
You can assign functions of a target device to the controls on
the top panel of the 01V96i by using Remote layer. The fol-
lowing targets are available for remote control:
•ProTools
