I am using an Allen & Heath GLD 112 Mixer board. I currently have it hooked up with a MIDI to USB cable. I successfully got it working with FL Studio, but I really would like to control the faders in Pro Tools from this unit. Are you able to provide any help on this?
Inside of my board, I can create up to 32 MIDI Channels. I want to be able to control all of my instrument tracks in Pro Tools and my vocals.
I can show one CC to 1 fader and advise how to model it from there but for a complete solution it would require private consulting which I also offer.
What CC and MIDI channel would you like to convert and to what Pro-Tools fader. Are you faders motorized? Do you also want Pro-Tools to move the fader on your GLD 112 (if motorized)?

Yes, they are motorized and I am honestly just trying to make them sync perfectly, so Fader 1 from the board being able to control ‘Audio Track 1’ in pro tools (stereo or mono track) and yes I want Pro Tools to move the fader on my GLD.
Please find the attached. It addresses the first 8 faders only in both directions.
Since HUI has banks, we would need 4 banks (8x4=32) to control them all. I don’t know how many faders that ProTools Artist (which you say you have) will support. Full ProTools would support 4 banks with different MIDI ports for each bank.
I am using my own controller with CC0-CC7 MIDI CH 2 to test. Here is how my aliases are set up.
You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.
Here is the project file.

Thank you for your assistance. The faders are synced up with Pro Tools and I did make 4 sets of 8. I just have one last question. Is there a way that I can use all 4 of the ports I created at one time? It looks like in order for me to use the next set of 8 at a time in Pro Tools, I would have to change the Input and Output (HUI - DAW) to Virtual Port 2, 3 and 4 inside of the translator. Is there a tutorial for this that I can watch?
Hi,
Create alias for the other ports and assign them. I already sent you a link to the alias tutorial.
HUI-1 → BMT 1
HUI-2 → BMT 2
HUI-3 → BMT 3
HUI-4 → BMT 4
Duplicate your current presets so that you have 4 sets going each way.
Assign each preset the proper input and output device.
For more information about device selection, see this tutorial.
You may need to add rules to offset the incoming CC Number for each set of ports
If you want to track values of faders, you may need to add global variables for each set of faders and modify rules accordingly. I uses i0-i7 for the first bank.
I assign and document global variables used in the rules of translator 0.2.
I use them in translator 2.2. I’m not 100% sure it will be necessary for faders but certainly will be if you later add V-POTs (for pan).
Now your presets should be organized for adding different functions like mute, etc.
The project I posted was based on a template I created last year. You might find other examples in the forum.
Good luck!
