The steps outlined in the article below are the same steps that are covered in the video above.
I’m going to walk you through how to set up your SL MkIII with Pro Tools. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer and powered on.
Inside Pro Tools, please go to Setup > peripherals > Select HUI, and set the send and receive options to Novation SL Mk III InControl, then select OK.
Please note that the ports may be named differently when setting up on a Windows operating system. The ordering should be similar to those seen in the video and screenshots above (Mac), but here is a list of how they may appear when comparing Mac to Windows:
Input Ports
- Novation SL MkIII MIDI = Novation SL MkIII MIDI
- Novation SL MkIII inControl = MIDI In 2 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII From DIN 1 = MIDI In 3 (Novation SL MkIII)
Output Ports
- Novation SL MkIII MIDI = Novation SL MkIII MIDI
- Novation SL MkIII inControl = MIDI Out 2 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII To DIN 1 = MIDI Out 3 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII To DIN 2 = MIDI Out 4 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII CV/Gate = MIDI Out 5 (Novation SL MkIII)
Once you’ve selected the InControl button, you can control the following functions:
- Transport
- Volume faders
- Mutes, solos
- Pans
- Sends
