Notes:

  • New MIDI control surface features are provided through the latest Control Surface Personality files installed with Pro Tools
  • Pro Tools 6 no longer supports and will not install the Penny & Giles MM-16 and DC-16 Control Surface Personality Files
  • The faders on a Digi 002 cannot be used to control any device other than itself
  • Asante network cards are not recommended for Pro Tools systems using Ethernet controllers such as ProControl or Control|24. If an Asante network card is in your system, it can cause Ethernet controllers to go on/offline every few seconds, and you will not be able to maintain a decent connection to the ProControl or Control|24.
