Using MIDI and MIDI Learn with Eleven

Eleven supports MIDI Control Change (CC) messages, meaning that the Master section, amp, cabinet and mic parameters can be controlled remotely by any CC-capable MIDI device. This includes MIDI controllers, mixers, and instruments, as well as the 003® (in MIDI Mode).

MIDI Learn lets you quickly map plug-in controls to a MIDI foot pedal, switch, fader, knob, or other CC-compatible trigger. You can also manually assign controls to specific MIDI CC values.

It’s a Session Thing

MIDI control assignments are saved and restored with the Pro Tools session in which they are defined. Settings files (presets) for Eleven do not store or recall MIDI Learn assignments.

To map a MIDI controller to a parameter:

1 Make sure your external MIDI device is connected to your system, and recognized by your MIDI Studio Setup (Windows) or Audio MIDI Setup (Mac).

2 Right-click on any control in Eleven.

Right-click the control and choose Forget.
