Hi there,
I'm using mackie control surface in HUI mode (as I'm also controling Pro Tools).
It also controls DP, great.
But is there a function that when I right click on a track and choose something like I did in PT, it will let the control surface go to that track, so I don't have to click the move up channels on it too many times?
By the way, is there a way to show which 8 tracks it is currently controlling in DP tracks or mixing view?
Thank you
Scroll to track for Control Surface?

Re: Scroll to track for Control Surface?
DP does not send show hide track info under Mackie Protocol so I assume its the same in HUI... that is one of the requests recently made to MOTU. PT does it no problem. DP does it in their gui but not controllers.
Selecting a track works but to select a group of tracks and only see those tracks in the mixer is not possible in DP. DP should do this. It's not a difficult fix. I use Slate Ravens and it would be wonderful to group drums, vocals, guitars, keys, synths etc... and only see those faders when selected. Banking works but is clunky and invariably runs over to the next bank so it's single channel scroll to get it right. It was the same with the Mackie MCU controllers with ext... lame...

Can you select a track in DP and have MCU jump to control that track?

Re: Scroll to track for Control Surface?
Yes... select works. I use Raven now not the MCU. But by jump do you mean move up and bank and show that channel then no the MCU won't do that. But if you highlight a channel I think the MCU sees it but I don't see the benefits. MCU has the controls per channel strip regardless of selecting it on the DAW.
