How to connect:
====================================
1. Make sure your iOS device and your computer are in the same network. On iOS 10 the USB cable can also be used
2. Launch MiniControl
3. Launch Audio MIDI Setup in Applications / Utilities
4. Open MIDI Window
5. Double click on Network
6. Create a new session (or use current if any), select and connect your iOS device to that session (you should use discrete network sessions for each MiniControl if you intend to connect more than one)
7. Launch your DAW and setup a new Mackie HUI or Mackie Control device with the MIDI port configured in the last step for input and output. Avoid using "All inputs" or "All outputs" if possible
====================================
Note:
====================================
- If you wish to connect multiple iOS devices as different interfaces, create network session and setup MIDI controller for each one of them
- Multitasking Gestures shall be disabled if you want to control more than 3 faders simultaneously on the iPad
- DAWs has their own ways of implementing the protocols, functionalities (especially automation displays and button combinations), performance or how they operate may be very different.
- Auto protocol detection needs some time. To avoid losing the first few messages (may contain most of the key information), please choose protocol manually.
