Remote Control 205 17 Remote Control This chapter describes the Remote function, which enables you to control external equipment directly from the DM1000 top panel. About Remote Function The DM1000's Remote function enables you to control external DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) equipment, MIDI devices, recorders, etc. There are three types of Remote functions (Remote 1 &2, and Machine Control): ■ REMOTE 1 (Remote Layer 1) ■ REMOTE 2 (Remote Layer 2) To use these Remote functions, you must connect the DM1000 to a target device via USB and operate the faders, Encoders and [ON] buttons on the top panel to control the external device remotely. You can specify a target device and parameter values on the Remote | Remote1 and Remote 2 pages. These layers are enabled when you turn on the LAYER [REMOTE 1] and [REMOTE 2] buttons respectively. During Remote operation, the controls on the top panel enable you to control the external device. (You cannot adjust the DM1000's parameters unless you select a different layer.) You can assign functions of a target device to the controls on the top panel of the DM1000 by using Remote Layers 1 and 2. The following targets are available for remote control: • ProTools You can remotely control Digidesign Pro Tools. • Nuendo You can remotely control Steinberg Nuendo. • General DAW You can remotely control DAW software that supports the protocol used by Pro Tools. • User Defined You can also assign MIDI messages to the faders, [ON] buttons, or Encoders to remotely control a connected MIDI device, such as a synthesizer. • User Assignable Layer.......You can combine the DM1000 channels to create a custom layer. (See page 255 for more information on this function.) Tip: ProTools, Nuendo, and General DAW targets can be assigned to only one layer at a time. If you have already assigned a ProTools, Nuendo, or General DAW target to Remote Layer 1 or 2, you cannot assign other targets to the other Remote Layer. ■ Machine Control From the Remote | Machine Control page, you can control an external recording machine that is connected to the DM1000 MIDI port, REMOTE connector, USB port, or optional MY8-mLAN card. There are two types of commands used for machine control. • MMC MMC stands for MIDI Machine Control. MMC commands can be transferred via the MIDI ports, USB port, and Slot 1 if an MY8-mLAN card is installed. • P2 P2 protocol is used by the Tascam DA-98HR and other professional video machines. This command can be transferred via the REMOTE connector. Tip: To control external devices from the DM1000, you can also use the User Defined buttons or the CONTROL connector as a GPI (General Purpose Interface).
