"Setup M-Audio Keystation Pro 88"

Post by dhm »

Hello, I have today just spoken to Avid tech support (M-Audio) here in the UK about DP and setting up transport control etc with DP 6.02 and my Keystation Pro 88. It was more then interesting and I wonder what qualification one needs for such a gig? However the Gentleman who was more then pleasant, quite frankly was lost in space! I was surprised at the lack of interest in DP through the 10 min call. Of cause in the UK not many owners of DP or so one would be led to believe?

M-Audio offer a lot more support for Pro Tools (of cause) Logic, Cuebase and apps one as a pro may not use. Anyway I am still looking for help with MMC which I believe controls the transport via DP 6.02 and my Keystation Pro 88. Maybe somebody has such a setup and can walk me through it.

I have tried James steps to set up the Keystation, but lost in the differences between the keyboards. Thanks for reading and any help DH

I'm in the same boat myself, but I haven't tried the TipSheet version here to set up transport controls yet. I'm really bummed out that I can't set up the Keystation as a complete control surface inside of DP, but I'm more of a mouse guy, anyway, so it's no major hardship. Still, the way my office is set up, the MacBook is waaaaaay out of reach when I'm sitting at the keyboard, so I'd at least like to be able to start, stop and record without racing back and forth between my computer and my keyboard during the two-bar countoff. I don't think Keystation uses MMC protocols, though, since that's more for controlling/slaving to tape decks or eternal recorders, processors and MIDI stage rigs; you have define the MIDI commands themselves inside of DP. I assume you downloaded the Enigma software from M-Audio's site?
