Remote Track Arming

The MachineControl option for Pro Tools lets you remotely arm tracks on supported 9-pin (or V-LAN for transport only) decks. Without MachineControl, Pro Tools does not support remote track arming of external devices. MachineControl lets Pro Tools act as the master or slave to external Sony 9-pin (or V-LAN for transport only) machines, in addition to providing remote track arming from within Pro Tools.

Choose Setup > Machine Track Arming Profiles to configure your system, and choose Window > Machine Track Arming to display the Machine Track Arming window.

Press Command+Option+Control+J (Mac) or Control+Alt+Start+J (Windows) to enable (or disable Remote mode. If using a D‑Command or D‑Control work surface, press the 9-pin Remote button.

For information on remote track arming with MachineControl, see the MachineControl Guide.
