Midi Controllers for Protools LE MBOX2

Postby DwaneHollands » Mon Sep 07, 2009 3:31 pm

Just a few Midi questions....

1. Am I able to control my pro tools LE rig, such as Levels, Arming-disarming, pan using a MIDI device Like Behringers B-Control fader BCF2000-WH
http://www.be!@#$%^&.com/EN/Products/BCF2000-WH.aspx

2. Is there any 'offline' device which allows me to plug in 2 or more MIDI inputs and output a single MIDI output so that I can plug two devices into my SINGLE MIDI input on my MBOX 2?

For example. My Electronic Drum Kit and Keyboard at the same time? (I believe they only use 1 channel each so a single MIDI can carry 16 channels).

Sorry if the second question is a little confusing...

Not sure about your other questions, but if you want to "Merge" two or more MIDI streams, a Midi Merge is what you want.

Ebay often has a few of these floating around.

The simple & cheap ones can run off the power supplied by midi, and are about the size of a packet of Cigs.

Before you buy anything, check with the DUC, PTLE is very picky who it will play with, no matter what the maker says. Be sure to ask about how your intended controller interacts with your particular set up, as that is the real issue rather than PTLE as such. Cheers!
