Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

This Setup Guide is for interfacing Digidesign’s Pro Tools with the Digital 328 Digital Mixer. This guide assumes that you have a working knowledge of the Macintosh environment and a familiarity with Pro Tools and the Digital 328.

The procedure will show the user how to integrate the MIDI CONTROLLER BANK on the 328 as a limited control surface for the internal mixer within Pro Tools.

This guide will also outline the steps to take to allow automated control of the 328 from Pro Tools (version 5.0 or later recommended).

Pro Tools uses six different preset “personalities” in its control architecture. This document outlines possibilities using the Peavey PC-1600 controller personality.

The Pro Tools Internal Mixer

The Pro Tools Internal MixerThe Pro Tools Internal Mixer

Digidesign offers a fully functioning mixing console from within the Pro Tools environment. Pro Tools duplicates many of the functions found on the Digital 328, offering the ultimate in flexibility when the two products are joined together. However, to understand the power of this system,

is important to separate the two mixing environments in your mind: the Pro Tools internal mixer, and the Spirit Digital 328 mixing console.

The first part of this guide will explain how to allow the Digital 328 to control the Pro Tools INTERNAL mixer. We will discuss how Pro Tools can control the Digital 328 in a later section.

In order to integrate the Digital 328 into the Pro Tools environment, we must utilize an existing “Personality Profile” that Digidesign provides in its DAE folder, found in the System folder of your Macintosh. Digidesign has made six profiles as of this writing – the JL Cooper CS-10, the Penny & Giles DC-16 and MM-16, the Mackie HUI, Digidesign’s own Pro Control, and the Peavey PC-1600. We will be relying on the Peavey PC-1600 profile for communication between the 328 and the ProTools internal mixer.

Please make sure that the Peavey PC-1600 profile is placed in the Controllers folder

inside the DAE folder on your Macintosh before proceeding.

Pro Tools Setup Guide

It is essential that 2-way MIDI

communication occurs between the 328 and Pro Tools.

Using standard MIDI cables, connect the 328 MIDI Out Port to your MIDI interface’s MIDI In Port, and connect the 328’s MIDI In Port to the interface’s MIDI Out Port.

his 2-way communication configuration will allow full dynamic automation of the Digital 328, and it will allow control of the internal mixer within Pro Tools from the 328.

Before launching Pro Tools, we must configure OMS to account for the 328. This guide will refer to OMS version 2.3.8.

1) Launch the OMS Application.

2) Under “Studio” select New Device

Configure the new device as described below:

Check “Is controller” and “Is multitimbral”.

Enable all receive channels

Set the Device ID to 0.

Enable MIDI Timecode (MTC) and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) as indicated.

4) Hit OK – the Digital 328 device should now appear in your OMS Studio Setup as indicated here.

Relating to the control of the internal mixer within Pro Tools, since we are emulating a pre-set Digidesign controller personality, a second “phantom”

328 must be created. This device will not be an actual device – instead it will

act to “emulate” another controller surface, thus gaining access to 16 more

controls in Pro Tools.

Configuring the “phantom” device

The output of the second “device” goes to our “phantom” unit in OMS.

word about Pro Tools, OMS and MMC

Pro Tools will respond to PLAY, STOP and RECORD commands without fault. However, REWIND and FAST FORWARD commands are not received well via MMC, because of the nature of these commands. Pro Tools responds to “held” commands, such as a REW or FF button that transmits until released. At this time MMC does not support a shuttle “hold” function.

Record Arm commands sent from the 328 are not recognized in OMS 2.38 and earlier. OMS will not pass these signals to Pro Tools.

NOTE: If you plan to enable control of Bank-Shifting, Plugin parameters, or Aux controls, please refer to Page 9 for important information regarding Transport Control.

To access the MIDI CONTROLLER bank, follow these steps:

1) Press any of the FADER BANK switches (over the first three Rotary Encoders). The associated switch should illuminate.

2) Next, press the illuminated switch again (it’s the same switch you just pressed). The faders should react accordingly, yet there will be no switch illuminated under FADER BANK. This is the MIDI FADER bank.

3) Feel free to switch in and out of this mode (or bank) as often as you wish. Whenever you return, Pro Tools control will be at your fingertips.

4) View the Mixer Page in Pro Tools.

5) Enter the MIDI CONTROLLER BANK mode on the 328. Move faders and Rotary Encoders to check for Fader and Pan control via the 328.

Keep in mind that a controller must move through the “null” point of a fader before it takes control – this keeps faders from jumping when displayed values differ from actual controller settings.

6) Press LOC 1 once (in a TDM system only) to gain control of assigned Plug-In parameters. The displayed Plug-in will be the “active” Plug-In, ready for control. Display other Plug-Ins to make them respond to 328 control.

7) Subsequent LOC 1 presses toggle through AUX Sends 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in that order. LOC 2 moves backward through the Auxes, to Plug-In control, and back to Fader & Pan operation.

8) Pressing the Rewind and Fast Forward transport buttons ‘shift’ fader banks 16 at-a-time to the right or left respectively.

Digital 328 Automation

Digital 328 Automation Digital 328 Automation

The Digital 328 mixing console offers full dynamic automation via MIDI. This means that any encoder/fader movement, button press, or any other control surface setting can be recorded in real-time via MIDI to Pro Tools for playback at a later time. The 328 not only allows every control surface parameter to be automated, but also allows full automation of both Dynamic Processors and both FX Processors. This means that a fully automated mix can be integrated into a recording session, containing any fade-ins, mutes, or snapshot recalls that occur at certain points during a song. As automation data is recorded, any event may be isolated and edited from within the sequencer track, or new automation events can be created from within the sequencer itself.

Snapshot Automation

Snapshot AutomationSnapshot Automation

The 328 also offers Snapshot automation: any Snapshot (or User Setup) can be recalled within an automation track. We use standard MIDI Program Change messages for this function.

The following table indicates the Program Change required to recall each individual Snapshot and User Setup.

Program

Recalled

RecalledRecalled

So, to recall Snapshot #1, Program Change 0 should be sent to the 328. To recall Snapshot #69, Program Change 68 should be sent to the 328, and so on.

However, there is one other thing to bear in mind. Every individual Snapshot has a ‘MIDI Recall’ selection that can be enabled/disabled. If ‘MIDI Recall’ is turned ‘OFF’ for a particular Snapshot, then it cannot be recalled via a Program Change command. Therefore, any Snapshot you wish to recall from within an automation track must have ‘MIDI Recall’ turned ‘ON’, else the Snapshot will not recall. When the Global ‘MIDI Recall’ of Snapshots is switched to ‘ON’, any Snapshot subsequently created will automatically have ‘MIDI Recall’ switched to ‘ON’. To do this, enter the ‘Snapshot Setup’ menu and toggle ‘MIDI Recall’ to ‘ON’.

When the 328 is in Read Only mode, it only responds to automation data. The 328 does not transmit any automation data in Read Only Mode. This mode may be useful when a final automation performance has been completed in Pro Tools, and no more automation data is to be recorded. In this case the desk could be set to Read Only as a ‘safe’ mode, to ensure that no further automation data is recorded over the final automation performance.

Pro Tools Setup Guide

1313

Write Only Mode

Mode: WRITE ONLY

When the 328 is in Write Only mode, it only transmits automation data, and ignores any incoming automation data received at its MIDI IN port. This mode is useful for quickly recording several versions of an automation take into Pro Tools, where on each recording pass the previously recorded material is ignored by the 328. Each take can then later be previewed (in Read mode), and the preferred take kept as a performance.

Read/Write Mode

Mode: READ/WRITE

Mode: READ/WRITE Mode: READ/WRITE

Read/Write mode is simply an amalgamation of Read Only mode and Write Only mode. In this mode, the 328 transmits automation data and responds to any automation data received at its MIDI IN port. Read/Write is the most commonly used automation mode – a single automation take can be recorded into a sequencer, then instantly previewed on playback.

Update Mode

Mode: UPDATE

Mode: UPDATE Mode: UPDATE

The final automation mode is Update mode. This mode allows live changes to be made to any individual automation parameter within a previously recorded automation take. For example, say a complex automated mix had been recorded containing many automation parameters. This might be the perfect mix if it weren’t for an inaccurate FX2 fade-out just before the end of the track! Update mode could be used here to ‘punch-in’ a new FX2 fade-out at the desired point while preserving all other automation data.

Essentially, Update mode is identical to Read mode, only that the automation data received by the 328 is re-transmitted back to the sequencer. However, the moment a parameter change is made on the 328, that parameter only enters Write mode, while all other parameters continue to be passed through into the 328.

This may seem a bit complex in theory, but in practice it is a very simple concept – Update mode essentially lets you punch-in parameter specific edits into an existing automation mix.

Note: Due to the motorized nature of the 328’s faders, if you wish to update an automated fader movement, you must not attempt to ‘take over’ the moving fader when you wish to punch-in your change – always use the rotary encoder equivalent on the meter controls.

1414

Spirit Digital 328 v2.0

Note: Once an automatable 328 object has been adjusted in Update mode, it will not enter Read mode again until READ ONLY or READ/WRITE is selected in the 328 Automation Setup menu. This means that the newly adjusted parameter will continue to be overwritten until recording is stopped, or the mode is changed.

1) In Pro Tools, add one new MIDI Track.

2) Under the MIDI Menu in Pro Tools 5.0, disable MIDI Thru. Leaving this item checked while operating the 328 automation, will result in a MIDI feedback loop.

3) In the Mix window in Pro Tools, locate the new MIDI track and route its output to the Digital 328, channel 1 (the “real” 328 – not the “phantom” device).

Spirit Digital 328 v2.0

4) Make Sure MIDI DYNAUTO is enabled on the 328. Set Automation mode to READ/WRITE.

Mode: READ/WRITE

Mode: READ/WRITE Mode: READ/WRITE

5) In Pro Tools, arm the new MIDI track to record, and verify MIDI data reception.

6) Once MIDI data has been verified, you are free to record a pass of automation. Grab a handful of faders, and do a test-pass while in MIC/LINE Fader bank.

7) After the test-pass has been recorded, rewind Pro Tools and play the pass back to the 328.

8) Faders should move accordingly – if they do not, verify your settings and try again. If MIDI data is registering on the ProTools level meter when faders are being recorded, check the MIDI Cable returning to the 328.

Editing the Automation Pass

Editing the Automation PassEditing the Automation Pass

Once your pass has been recorded, you may want to edit it within Pro Tools. If you have Pro Tools 5.0 or later, editing takes place as follows. If you have Pro Tools 4.3 or earlier, please continue to read this section, as the proceedure is similar for your version.

1) Go to the Edit window in Pro Tools, and locate the MIDI track containing the automation pass.

2) Select the way the data is to be displayed – we recommend pure Controller Changes.

Pro Tools Setup Guide

1717

3) In the Display type window, click “Add/Remove Controller.” This does not affect Pro Tools performance, it simply tells Pro Tools how to display the data.

4) Choose the Controllers that are to be displayed. You may want to come back to this window often to “filter” conflicting data. It is always easier to edit one parameter at a time. Refer to the MIDI Specification included in the Digital 328 v2.0 manual.

9) Refer to Section 6 - “Digital 328 Automation Configuration” for detailed explanations of automation modes and uses.

Pro Tools systems always require a related audio interface, whether the Audiomedia II, Digi 001, ADAT Bridge or the 888 side, this section outlines a few possibilities for the ultimate in flexibility.

Using two (or more) 888

Using two (or more) 888Using two (or more) 888

Digidesign’s 888 Digital (AES) I/O. This is the ultimate interface for marriage to the 328.

To fully utilize the power of these two systems, you can use two Soundcraft AES/EBU Interface boxes for the Digital 328 (Part #RW5599). These boxes provide up to 16 AES/EBU I/O for the 328 using standard TDIF cables for connection. Connect to the 888 to 16x16 direct I/O with ProTools.

This equpment, when connected, provides 16 Ultra high-quality Microphone pre-amplifiers, 32+ tracks of recording, a control surface for all channels in Pro Tools, a 32 channel hardware mixing surface, and routing capabilities. For example, a signal can be brought in through the 328’s Mic pre, routed to tracks inside Pro Tools – post EQ, then routed back out of Pro Tools to a completely different output on the 888, all while being simultaneously routed through the Lexicon processors in the 328. At the same time the signal can be compressed by the 328 onboard compression! This is not to mention the signal output of the 888 – happening 16 times!
