Using the 01V as a MIDI Controller for Pro Tools
One of the features of the 01V is the ability to be used as a control surface for any software that allows control via MIDI. As long as the software that is being used can be controlled via MIDI the 01V can be used to control common functions such as fader levels, mutes, panning, etc.
In order for the 01V to be used with Pro Tools by Digidesign, it will be necessary to program the 01V to emulate a JL Cooper CS-10 Professional Control Station™ which uses the standard MIDI protocol and transmits on MIDI channel 16. This is due to the fact that Pro Tools does not have a dedicated template for the 01V but it is configured for the JL Cooper CS10 which is often used with Digidesign professional digital audio editing systems and software.

-
Connect the MIDI Out of the AW4416 to the MIDI In of either the computer's MIDI card or MIDI interface.
Configuring Pro Tools:
-
Select 'CS10' in the MIDI Controller section of Pro Tools under Peripherals.
Set the number of channels to 8.
Configuring the 01V:
-
Press the [REMOTE] button repeatedly until the 'USER DEFINE' screen ('REMOTE' page '3') is displayed.
Press the [SEL] button above fader '1'.
Use the
, 
, 
, or 
'CURSOR' buttons to select 'FADER' in the screen.
Press the [ENTER] button.
Replace the string of MIDI commands displayed in the 'DATA' parameter field for the 'FADER' with "BF 40 FAD END" using the 'PARAMETER' wheel or [-1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons.
NOTE: B specifies that it is a control change message; F specifies MIDI channel 16; 40 specifies the control change number; and FAD specifies that it will send varying values depending upon the fader position.
-
Use the
, , , or 'CURSOR' buttons to select the 'ON' button in the LCD display.
Press the [ENTER] button. The MIDI commands for the 'ON' button will be displayed.
Replace the string of MIDI commands displayed in the 'DATA' parameter field for the 'ON/OFF' button with "BF 00 SW END" using the 'PARAMETER' wheel or [-1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons.
Repeat steps 4-5 for faders 2-8 using the following table:|

NOTE: This sets up the 01V to control 8 faders and mutes at a time. The CS10 does not transmit separate control change messages for more than eight faders at a time. It instead controls 8 faders at a time and switches between fader banks. The On/Off keys of channels 9-10 of the 01V can be programmed to transmit the MIDI messages that the CS10 uses for bank up and down messages. The MIDI message for bank down would be 'BF 1C SW END'. The MIDI message for bank up would be 'BF 1D SW END'. By programming the 'ON/OFF' buttons, bank up and down commands can be transmitted to as many as 32 channels controlled from the 01V.
