DAW Control

3 WING DAW-CONTROL
DAW-Setup
The WING console uses the commonly used Mackie MCU- and Mackie HUI-Protocol. These protocols are supported over a wide range of DAWs which allows for instant
support. Nevertheless, the implementation is dependent on a predened transmission protocol and the scope of possibilities is limited.
For DAW remote control there are settings to be made on both, the hardware and software side.
Settings WING
To enter the DAW-Setup navigate to SETUP  DAW. The left side of the screen provides access to all DAW-Settings on the console. To congure which surface
components will be used for DAW-Control the remote setup provides dierent modes.
DAW ENABLE If set to ON - activates DAW function and enables DAW button on the surface.
CONNECTION Switch between DIN and USB Connection (USB required for multiple devices)
EMULATION Decide which protocol to use - Mackie HUI or Mackie MCU
USE UPPER CC FOR DAW
If set to ON – include Upper Custom Control Section for DAW Control.
(otherwise the Upper CC-Section will oer controls detached from the DAW mode)
CONFIGURATION Dropdown to select which Parts of the surface should be used for DAW-Control
PRESET Dropdown to load DAW specic preset for lower portion of the Custom Control Section
Once set up, activate DAW-Control with the DAW-Button in the lower portion of the custom section. According to the remote settings this will change the CC- and the
Fader-Section to DAW-Mode.
Settings DAW
WING can be connected to the DAW either using standard DIN- or USB-Connection. The USB-Connection is providing 4 Midi-Connections at a time. To use the entire
surface for DAW control please use the USB connection. When connecting to the computer, WING emulates four virtual hardware devices. These emulations correspond
to the Midi-Ports as follows:
Port: MIDI DAW 1 (macOS: WING 1) – Master unit (Mackie MCU/HUI)
Port: MIDI DAW 2 (macOS: WING 2) – Extender 1 (MCU/HUI-Extender)
Port: MIDI DAW 3 (macOS: WING 3) – Extender 2 (MCU/HUI-Extender)
Port: MIDI Control (macOS: WING 4) – General Midi-Connection
To ensure the correct channel order, please ensure correct setup on DAW-Side. Depending on the DAW, the arrangement of the controllers can be made from top to
bottom, left to right or vice versa. See setup for some DAWs below.
