FaderPort V2 / ioStation 24c

V-Control Pro supercharges the single fader FaderPort V2 / ioStation 24c for use with Pro Tools.

Set FaderPort Mode To Studio One Native Mode

It is VERY important the FaderPort is in Studio One operation mode and NOT in HUI mode. This allows V-Control Pro to customize how FaderPort maps to Pro Tools.

Disable FaderPort MIDI Input

In the Pro Tools MIDI Input Devices Window, disable the FaderPort. It is used by V-control Pro and can cause conflict if enabled in Pro Tools as well.

Fast Focus and Refocus with FaderPort V2/ioStation 24c

With V-Control Pro, the FaderPort automatically focuses to any track you select. V-Control Pro can widen the bank up to thirty-two tracks for instant focus, and if it loses focus it immediately blinks the Channel button. Simply tap the blinking button to automatically ReFocus. Now you can select any track at any time for a focused FaderPort. When selecting a track within the controlled bank range, the FaderPort will Fast Focus to the selected track for control. When selecting a track outside of the controlled banks, the Channel button will immediately blink on the FaderPort. Press it to Re-Focus to that track for control. When a track is selected within the controlled banks, press the channel button to enable the wheel for navigation.
