Sparrow MIDI Faders

MIDI Faders to Control Pro Tools Volume and Trim Volume using the SoundFlows built-in HUI emulator.

This Package to gets the Sparrow 4x100mm MIDI Fader to work with Pro Tools using the SoundFlows built-in HUI emulator. It should also work with other MIDI Faders as well. However, as I have only tested this with my personal setup, It may or may not work for others.

SETTING UP TRIGGERS:

> Create New Triggers for each individual Fader: + New Trigger --> MIDI Trigger.

> Record Faders to the New Triggers, making sure MIDI Channel is set to All Channels.

> The App Focus most likely should be set to Pro Tools. It could be set to "All Apps" but may experience interference if other DAWs or MIDI Devices are running.

> ccNumbers need to be changed to match the Fader CC# as recorded from Left to Right.

SETUP PRO TOOLS TO RECIEVE MIDI INPUT FROM FADERS:

> Goto "Setup" --> "MIDI" --> "MIDI Input Devices..."

> Make sure "SoundFlow HUI Output" is checked, then press "OK"

> Goto "Setup" --> "Peripherals..."

> Under "MIDI Controlers" Tab

>> Set "Type" to "HUI"

>> "Receive From" --> "SoundFlow HUI Output"

>> "Send To" --> "SoundFlow HUI Input" (It's under "Predefined")

>> Press "OK"

USING FADERS:

> Cntrl + Shift Click the Track Name Box of the Track you want to control. This puts a blue box around the track and subsequent 7 tracks.

The left most fader controls the first selected track and subsequent tracks correspond to the next faders to the right.
