Remote-controlling DAW software or VSTi (software instruments) from the MX49/MX61 The MX49/MX61 features a highly convenient Remote mode which lets you control the DAW software and VSTi (software instrument) on your computer via the panel operations of the MX49/MX61. This function enables you to control the DAW software or VSTi efficiently from the instrument, and enables even greater ease in recording and creating a song. When [DAW REMOTE] is turned on, the MX49/MX61 enters the Remote mode, and the remote control functions are assigned to specific buttons on the panel. The names are printed on the panel in black on white background. For example, the [PLAY] (3/,) button, [STOP] (+) button, and AI KNOB ([DATA] dial) can be used as transport controls for Cubase. DAW programs that can be controlled from the MX49/MX61 are Cubase, Logic Pro, SONAR and Digital Performer. Port 2 is used mainly to transfer MIDI data for remote control between the MX49/MX61 and the DAW software.
