No VS700C console support for Pro-Tools 9
Just a heads up for people that may be curious as to whether the VS700c console will work with Pro-Tools 9... the answer is 'No'.
Pro-Tools 9 currently only supports control surfaces that adhere to the 'HUI' protocol. The HUI protocol is basically a control surface protocol for communicating directly with Pro-Tools.
The VS-700C currently only supports Mackie emulation. Apparently real Mackie interfaces even have to be placed into HUI mode to work with Pro-Tools. So far Pro-Tools is the only DAW that I have encountered that doesn't work with the VS-700C.
Amazingly there is a $15 iPad control surface app (AC-7 Core) that controls Pro-Tools wirelessly and provides essentially the same functionality that the VS-700C would. Ironically, I could never get that same app to work with SONAR even though it claims that its supported. With PT9 I was able to get it working the first time.
FWIW, the VS-700R I/O box seems to work OK as an audio interface. However, the inputs/outputs are not-labeled in PT9. So be prepared to spend some time figuring out which port is which.
I honestly don't expect Cakewalk/Roland to fix this problem. Nevertheless, I just wanted give anyone else a heads-up that may be considering trying out PT9.

Thanks for the heads up. Frankly speaking, the problem isn't ours to fix, its Avids. If they want PT9 to work with a wider range of hardware then they should add Mackie Control support. Same thing goes for the I/O labelling in PT9 which sounds like a problem in the software (VS-700R works fine with all other hots).

Seth, I guess technically you're right. However, I only said that because even Mackie decided to go ahead and support HUI rather than wait for Digidesign to support Mackie's protocol. I know that there's no reason to expect Roland's hardware to work with a competitor's product especially considering that PT9 is so new to the market. I didn't really get PT9 to replace X1. I just needed to get some experience with the software plus I was able to grab it at a great price. -e.B

This may also be because Pro Tools is the Devil !!!!
We are lucky Cake and Roland are giving it a wide Berth
On a plus side if they are not working on making the VS-700c work with Pro tools AKA THE DEVIL ! Then they can spend more time on Sonar :D
Its a Win Win Situation !

hi guys
Are there any news on this. I also would like to use my VS700C with pro tools 10HD I dont need all the routing but tha main workflow like faders, transport solo mute etc.
This will make my setup more flexible (and a lot of others)
Seth says:the problem isn't ours to fix, its Avids, thats ok (or not) This would be an advantage for Cake as well their hardware will be evan more flexible = bigger sale / money in the bank / in these hush days cash is king!!! :-))
E.BLUE:I know that there's no reason to expect Roland's hardware to work with a competitor's product. Now its PRO TOOLS10 and same answer: This would be an advantage for Cake as well their hardware will be evan more flexible = bigger sale / money in the bank / cash is king!!! :-))
Muzie: The SI-24 & The VS2480 remote controll protocol support HUI.
There must be someone out there who can make this protocol

Any updates on this? I'm still looking for a way of using my VS-700 with Pro Tools.

This will never happen Pro Tools dropped all HUI Support in version 10 - 11 You could download Bomes midi Translator and spend some time and make a map that will work with Pro Tools though http://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator
