VS Faderbox Midi Controller - CC to HUI

Hi there,

I’m trying to create a preset that will translate Midi CC to HUI for use in AVID Pro Tools. I’ve watched some of the tutorials on Youtube, but am still having difficulty setting it up.

I’m using a VS Faderbox Midi Controller, which is a four fader midi controller - photo attached.

I’m also attaching the Bome Midi Translator Pro file, with my current attempt to create a preset, which includes some of the MIDI messages from my controller. As well as a screenshot of my controller’s Channel and CC settings.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards
Rudi

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

I created a project file that should work for you.

Translator 0.3 handles the required ping reply that is needed from ProTools to determine that HUI controller is active.

Translator 1.0 takes CC 27-30 and converts it to HUI fader messages for faders 1-4. Since HUI requires complex messages, I use raw MIDI for output. The rules of that translator does the manipulation needed,’

I have my aliases set up as follows. You will want to modify as needed for your controller and whatever virtual port you want to use in ProTools.

You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

Also, I used port selection techniques so that the proper ports are monitored and sent .

For more information about device selection, see this tutorial.

Hi Steven,

Thank you so much for your quick response, and providing a project file and all the necessary information that literally got my midi controller to work perfectly from the get go! I’ve been struggling with this for months, so I really appreciate your time and effort with this.

The next question I have is regarding the same midi controller sending CC values in order to control/automate plug-ins within ProTools. (Screenshot attached)

Would I have to build another project file for the midi controller to send CC values to ProTools? And is there any advice you could give me with regards to this?

Thanks again for your help in advance.

Kind Regards
Rudi
