Mackie Protools HUI protocol ripping

MIDIbox HUIs
1

HI Folks!

I’m a protools user and would love to build a Mackie Hui but as it seems that mios doesn’t support the protools mode yet.

I am lucky enough to use a mackie control and 2 extenders with protools every day at work.

Is there an easy way to crack the protools protocol perhaps by monitoring the midi messages?

I could borrow one over the weekend to put under the operating table if anyone could point me a direction to take…

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

… why lucky? You could tell your boss, that you will quit the job if he doesn’t buy proper and professional equipment  ;D

Sorry, but I couldn’t hold myself back  :wink:

I’m pretty sure there was another poster who had done this, but unfortunately it’s still vaporware to us at this stage…  Have a search around, maybe you could team up :slight_smile:

… not only.

To not insulting anybody, I won’t name brands. But under “pro” I understand:

  • 32Bit floating (… so I don’t have channel-clipping within the digital domain)

  • an editer which doesn’t has to render EQ, dynamics, pitch and fades (I’m not talking about the mixer track)

  • an editer which supports source/destination 4-point cutting

  • hardware which supports MADI

  • a system which can highspeed render my mix if I’m not using outboards

… and some other things which are too minor to list here.

Well… I just can think of one brand which does fulfill not one of the above points  :cry: and they call themselves the loosers… ähhhm leaders (damn english… it’s not my mothertongue  ;D )
