So i'm trying to emulate a motormix/HUI/command-8 in Max - right now I'm using Darwin Grosse's motormix objects.

I can't seem to figure out how to set protools up to recognize the virtual motormix as an actual control surface. What should I set my MIDI settings in protools and Max to be? I've tried making a new blank object in Audio MIDI setup (on a Mac) and using that as a fake input/output, but it's not working. All that Protools will recognize as acceptable inputs are my two pieces of MIDI hardware, a Keystation 49e and a BCF2000.

Ideally I'd like to be able to run this entirely virtually, with no need for any actual hardware.

OK, so I figured out how to get the 'To Max MSP' 1 and 2 MIDI ports to show up in Protools - but it's still complaining about not being able to communicate with the motormix.

I can get information from protools into the virtual MM, but not back out of it and into protools.

A motormix will only work with Pro Tools when in "Pro Tools Mode" - 

where it emulates a HUI. My motormix object doesn't do "Pro Tools 

Mode", so there isn't an easy way to connect it up to that particular

Aww, well damn. I was hoping this would be an easy way for me to interface into protools. Guess I need to go figure out the HUI spec. >.<

Anyone have a patch that emulates the HUI sync thing that's going on? I've been experimenting a bit but I can't quite figure out what's going on.

Every 800 msec, Protools sends out a midi message of '144, 0, 0' - my Behringer in HUI emulation mode seems to respond with '144, 127, 0'

I've tried a setup where max looks for that message, 144-0-0, and responds with 144-127-0 but I guess I'm doing it wrong, or interpreted things wrong.

As per an older thread, I tried setting up Pro Tools using a Command|8, and just returning the ping protools sends out - but that's not working either. :/
