20.4 Pro Tools MIDI Compatibility
The Micstasy is MIDI remote compatible to Digidesign's Pro Tools system. The extended func-
tionality of the Micstasy (e.g. much smaller gain steps) is not available here, because the
Digidesign protocol does not support those features.
The Pro Tools micpre MIDI protocol uses simple controller messages and is therefore unpro-
tected. Other MIDI devices like keyboards etc. shall not be active on the same MIDI line, other-
wise certain values within the Micstasy will most probably be changed randomly. Because of
this, the Pro Tools compatibility is switched off by default, and has to be activated via the Setup
menu if required.
