Set up your Mackie HUI with Logic Pro

HUI control surface devices don’t support automatic scanning. You need to manually add these devices to your setup. When you add a device in this way, you need to assign the MIDI In and Out port parameters.

Important: There are a number of control surfaces—not mentioned in this guide—that can emulate the HUI. Such devices are not supported by Apple, nor are they guaranteed to work with Logic Pro in HUI emulation mode.

If the unit emulates a single HUI device, proceed as if using a HUI.

If you experience problems in the DSP Edit display, install the unit as a DM2000. See Set up your Yamaha DM2000 in Logic Pro.

If the unit emulates more than one HUI, add the required number of additional devices in the Setup window. If the unit is limited to support of only one HUI DSP Edit section, choose “HUI Channel Strips only” as the model name for these additional units. This ensures that scrolling in the DSP Edit section is limited to four parameters.

If you want to know more about button assignments, refer to Overview of Mackie HUI assignments in Logic Pro and the user manual for the device.
