About Remote Layers

The DM2000’s four Remote Layers allow you to control external MIDI equipment directly
from the DM2000. The type of device to be controlled (i.e., the target) can be specified for
each Remote Layer. There are six types of target: User Defined, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase
SX, General DAW, and User Assignable Layer. User Defined targets allow you to specify the
MIDI data that will be transmitted when the 24 channel strip faders, Encoders, and [ON]
buttons are operated. These settings are stored in Scenes, for snapshot-style automation.
The Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase SX, and General DAW targets use a specially designed pro-
tocol that supports Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase SX, and other DAW software protocols.
The User Assignable Layer target enables you to combine DM2000 channels to create a cus-
tom layer. See page 269 for more information on the User Assignable Layer.

Assigning Targets to Remote Layers

Targets are assigned to Remote Layers as follows.
1Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [REMOTE] button to locate the Remote 1–4 pages.
2Use the cursor buttons to select the TARGET parameter, use the Parameter
wheel or INC/DEC buttons to select a target, and then press [ENTER].
TARGET: This can be set to NO ASSIGN, USER DEFINED, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase
SX, General DAW, or User Assignable Layer. Only one Remote Layer can be set to Pro Tools,
Nuendo, Cubase SX, or General DAW. See page 254 for more information on the User
Defined target. See page 221 for more information on the Pro Tools target. See page 269 for
more information on the User Assignable Layer.
