Open Audio MIDI Setup in Applications / Utilities. 4. Navigate to the MIDI Window. 5. Double-click on Network and create a new session (or use an existing one). 6. Select and connect your iOS device to the session. For multiple MiniControl devices, create separate network sessions. 7. Launch your DAW and configure a new Mackie HUI or Mackie Control device using the MIDI port from the previous step for input and output. Avoid using "All inputs" or "All outputs" whenever possible. ==================================== Notes: ==================================== - To connect multiple iOS devices as separate interfaces, create a unique network session and configure MIDI controllers accordingly. - Disable Multitasking Gestures to control more than 3 faders simultaneously on iPad. - DAWs may vary in protocol implementation, functionality, and performance. Please adjust settings accordingly for optimal performance. - While auto protocol detection is available, manual protocol selection is recommended to avoid potential message loss during setup.
