Hi Slau,

Sorry, that was a badly phrased message on my part.  I've made the necessary 
changes to the MCU-pro.  Protools recognises it, so all that is good.

Where I need guidance, is, and this is just an example, tutorials on how to 
assign a track to a channel strip.  How do I, again just for the sake of an 
example, ensure that the pan knob moves the track in the stereo field, or the 
fader adjusts the gain.

See, told you they were basic questions! *smile*

All the best,

Dónal
