say yes and then I hit OK
at this point what Pro Tools will do is
reconfigure itself and the current song
that I have for the model 12 it's asking
me about a couple of plugins we're not
going to deal with that right now
I'll just say no and that's done now the
next thing we need to do is set up pro
tools so that the model 12 is the
controller the control surface to do
that we hit setup this time we choose
peripherals choose MIDI controllers if
it hasn't been chosen and tight so I
click that and at this point you need to
choose H UI or Huy Huy is the original

several years and that's what Pro Tools
uses as the protocol so choose Huy
H UI for MIDI choose receive from and
