Is it possible to map basic CC fader and mute functions into ProTools?

I was able to move 8 faders in ProTools 2024.3 with the BMT script presented in another topic. I have a question. Is it possible to increase the number of faders that can be operated, or to control the mute function of each fader? Will the problem be solved if I add a line to the description section of the rule?

Hi,

The following project converts note-on , notes 0-7 on MIDI CH1 to HUI Mute for the 8 tracks

I use consecutive Note numbers to simply things. In the rules I accept any note number with any value to the appropriate Mackie HUI command. I assign the note number pp

The first part of the message send select the Zone which will be 0-7

B0 0F pp

The second part of the message selects port 2 which is what is used for mute. The 4 in the last digit means on.

B0 2F 42

The port numbers are as follows for each zone 0-7

Port 0 is always the fader port
Port 1 is select
Port 2 is mute
Port 3 is solo
Port 4 is auto
Port 5 is v-select
Port 6 is insert
Port 7 is Rec/Ready

I also added a translator for HUI ping and response.

My aliases are set up as follows:

You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

I set up device selection at the translator level.

For more information about device selection, see this tutorial.

No global variables were needed for this. I only used the local variable ‘pp’.

Thank you for the very wonderful information.
I was able to implement 8 faders and their respective mute functions.
I’m really grateful to have found BMT and for your advice.

How would I edit this rule to be on/off mute instead of just on/on mute?

ProTools should toggle the mute state. If you want the mute state to update the LED’s you would need to set up a reverse translator that takes the ProTools mute state and then convert the output to your controller to the desired state of the controller.

I set up translatore 1.0 to handle this. The rules look at the state and convert it back to a simple note message where value of tt=127 for on and 0 for off.
