Midi Control of Protools Faders etc
Quick question for all you Protools buffs out there. I can't afford one of those Protools external vitural Mixing board (JLCooper/Mackie HUI) units to control my Mix/Edit window faders/sliders/pan knobs. Is there anyway I can have protools use a generic midi interface (a keyboard for example) so I could map my mod wheel on my keyboard to a protools fader, move my mod wheel and protools would "learn" this or otherwise manually assign this midi control signal to a specific protools fader/knob/slider/plugin? Like Reason's midi control "Learn mode".
I'm quite frustrated with using my mouse for precision automation and I'd like the control to be a bit more humanistic than the pencil tool can provide. I tried for a few hours this weekend and did not have much luck. (Read somewhere you can hold down the "control" key and click on the fader [which is supposed to turn the fader green but doesn't] and protools will "learn" the midi events. I assume this is either for an older version of PT or on the MAC platform.)
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Matthew
