this procedure to control your HV-3R parameters
in Pro Tools.

be sure they are in sync Pro Tools does
not reliably poll the units to retain
current settings.
Retain Current Settings Check Box -
Leave this box unchecked, when Pro
Tools and your HV-3R sync up, the
HV-3R will acquire the settings for all
parameters currently set in Pro Tools,

doesn’t respond to this message, so don’t worry
about it. It is only used by the Digidesign PRE to
lockout front panel controls.
