Welcome To V-Control Pro
V-Control Pro is a Mac and Windows application that connects control surfaces to digital audio and video workstations. It connects surfaces such as D-Command, C24, Control 24, FaderPort to DAWs such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic Pro X and many others. It uses iLok licensing that can be activated on your computer or on an iLok USB key. It provides MIDI Mode for surfaces so that surface buttons, faders, and encoders can be mapped to any application that provides MIDI mapping.

Quick Start Guide
Install And Run
Install and launch the V-Control Pro application on your computer as described in the 'Installing V-Control Pro' section.
Open The Setups Window
To do this on Windows, click on the V-Control Pro system tray item and select Setups… To do this on Mac, click on the V-Control Pro menu bar item and select Setups…
Add A Control Surface
Add a control surface to the Controllers section of the Setups window. To do this, locate the Add New… text in the Controllers section. Click on Add New… and choose an item. See the Setting Up Controllers chapter to read the details of setting up the controllers supported by V-Control Pro.
If Using V-Console On iPad
If using the V-Console app as your surface, launch V-Console, go to Settings - Connection and select the DAW computer to connect to. See the Setting Up Controllers chapter for more information.
Launch Application To Be Controlled
Launch a supported media application for control such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, etc. See the Setting Up Media Applications chapter for all supported applications.
Configure Application For Control
In the media application, set it up to communicate with V-Control Pro.. If the application uses HUI or Mackie Control protocol, connect it to the appropriate V-Control pro virtual midi ports such as V-Control, V-Control XT2, etc. See the Setting Up Media Applications chapter to read the details of setting up the application for control
Install And Run V-Control Pro
V-Control Pro is a desktop computer application that must be installed on the same computer that runs the DAW or media application to be controlled by a surface.
-
Download Installer - Use a web browser to open the Neyrinck Downloads Page. Download the appropriate installer for your system.
-
Launch Installer - Install and launch the V-Control Pro application on your computer as described in the 'Installing V-Control Pro' section.

V-Control Pro Licensing
V-Control Pro uses iLok licensing to enable its powerful features. A license can be activated on the computer running V-Control Pro or on an iLok USB key which makes it very easy to move the license between computers. You can learn more at ilok.com.
V-Control Pro supports different licenses depending on your system requirements.
Activating A License
When you purchase a license or you request a trial license, a license will be deposited to your iLok user account. To use a licensee, it must be activated. You can activate a trial or purchased license in two ways:
-
Activate A License Using V-Control Pro
-
Launch the V-Control Pro app on the host computer.
-
Select Activate License….
-
Select Activate when the license authorization prompt appears.
-
Enter the ilok ID and password used when purchasing the V-Control Pro license.
-
Select the V-Control Pro license to activate it and select Next.
-
Choose the location to place the license. V-Control Pro licenses can be activated directly on the computer or on an ilok USB key. An iLok USB key is most convenient because you can easily move it between computer systems.
-
-
Activate A License Using iLok License Manager
- Launch the iLok License Manager application on the host computer.
- Log in to your iLok user account.
- Locate the V-Control Pro license.
- Drag the license to your iLok or computer.
The V-Control Pro license will now be activated and V-Control Pro will operate with all supported features and functions.
Subscription Licenses
A V-Control Pro subscription license must be refreshed annually. The refresh is an automatic process that is done through an internet connection. If your computer does not have an internet connection, you must place the license on a computer that has an internet connection for it to be refreshed for the next monthly period. This has to be done once a year if your license is not on a computer that is connected to the internet. You can use the iLok License Manager or log in to your account on ilok.com to check on the expiration date for the license.

FaderPort V2 / iOStation 24c
V-Control Pro supercharges the single fader FaderPort V2 / iOStation 24c for use with Pro Tools.
-
It is VERY important the Faderport V2 / iOStation 24c is in Studio One Operation mode and NOT in HUI mode. This allows V-Control Pro to customize how FaderPort maps to Pro Tools.
-
Add the device as a controller in the V-Control Pro Setups window as described in Setting Up MIDI Controllers.
-
Configure V-Control Pro to map the FaderPort V2 / iOStation 24c to 8, 16, 24, or 32 channels.
- Open the V-Control Pro Setups window.
- Click on the Faderport/ioStation 24c that is paired with Pro Tools in the Setups column.
- Select 32 Channels in the Bank selection if using the AVID Control App or Standalone.
- Select 24 Channels in the Bank selection if using RAVEN or a 24 fader surface.
- Select 8/16 Channels in the Bank selection if using an 8 or 16 fader surface.
-
In the Pro Tools MIDI Input Devices Window, disable the Faderport. It is connected with V-control Pro and can cause conflict if enabled in Pro Tools as well.
-
Set up Pro Tools for 1, 2, 3, or 4 HUI banks as described in Setting Up Pro Tools. The number of HUI bank channels must match the number of channels configured in the previous steps.
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 ReFocus to that track for control. When a track is selected within the controlled banks, press the channel button to enable the wheel for navigation.
Please see the FAderPort V2 / ioSTation 24c feature charts online at Feature Charts
Using MIDI Mode
V-Control Pro provides a virtual MIDI port named "V-Control MIDI Mode" that lets control surfaces send and receive MIDI CC messages to applications and plugins that provide custom MIDI mapping. At the time of this writing, Pro Control, Control 24, C24, and D-Command provide MIDI Mode.
When a surface is not connected to a DAW, V-Control Pro defaults the surface to MIDI mode.
Learn more about MIDI Mode here.

Setting Up Pro Tools
V-Control Pro uses the HUI protocol with Pro Tools Studio/Ultimate to provide for 8, 16, 24, or 32 channels of control. The Pro Tools Midi Peripherals window must be configured to use V-Control Pro's virtual Midi ports for Pro Tools to communicate with V-Control Pro.
Setting the Midi Peripherals
V-Control Pro must be set up in the Pro Tools peripherals window. Depending on how many banks are being used, the configuration will vary.

Setting Up Mackie Control DAWs
Many DAWs and media applications use the Mackie Control protocol to support control surfaces. V-Control Pro translates the Mackie Control protocol to several control surfaces that previously only worked with Pro Tools. These DAWs and media applications do not automatically detect surfaces and must be manually configured to use V-Control Pro's virtual MIDI ports. Configure the DAW/Media application to use one Mackie Control device,for the first 8 channels of control, with the V-Control MIDI port. Configure additional Mackie Control XT devices, with the V-Control XT2, XT3, and XT4 MIDI ports, for control surfaces that have 16, 24, or 32 channels.
