Mapping motorized fader values in Bome's

I've got an Allen and Heath GSR-24M with motorized faders that read to +10dB and am trying to use it with Pro Tools 10 that has virtual fader values of +12dB. The motorized faders allow manipulation of the virtual ones through the full range (up to +12dB) but their default value is 2 to 2.3 dB off from Pro Tools default. This results in a mismatch an makes writing automation tricky. Anyone have any advice for scaling fader values in Bome's to get these to match up? I'm new to the Bome's program in general so any advice on finding scaling tools in the program would be great, thanks.

Hi GWGSR-24

I'm not really 100% on this answer but I've passed your question on to the big boss man as I've never seen these presets before this moment. Hopefully Florian can get back to you in a day or two. :)

Hi again GWGSR-24

Are you using the Bome MIDI Translator presets with the unit? If so can you post the preset and point me at where the problem is coming from?

I'll take a look at this tonight and see what I can put together. :)

Hi Jared,
I am using the Allen and Heath supplied pro tools preset, I've attached the .btmp file to this post. I'm not quite sure where the fader values are located in it, which is what I'm assuming I'd have to adjust. Again, sorry for being a bit of a newbie to the program, thanks for looking into this.

I'm sure they are. I'll take a look. If you could, just for simplicity's sake, open up the Log Window and move a fader up and down. Just screen shot it and that'll give me the information I need.

I'll take a look at this tonight.

Thanks, I will try and have it up as early as I can tomorrow, my Mac is at the shop getting a RAM upgrade this evening.

Hi, you can also just copy/paste the log window output...

As far as the scaling goes, we need to try to scale the message up to match the 2db difference.

To do this we need to add a few simple rules to each translator.

Code: Select all

pp=pp*122
pp=pp/128
If you put that in the rule it should allow you to smooth out the interaction.

Make sense?
