Metric Halo Mobile I/O - Manual (Page 262)

ConsoleConnect

Due to the MAS issue described above, you need to be a bit careful when inserting MIOConsoleConnect in
the V-Rack. We recommend that you:
1. Create a new mono Master Fader in the V-Rack
2. Set the output for the Master Fader to an unused bus (for example Bus 64) — this is very important
3. Insert MIOConsoleConnect on this mixer strip
The MIOConsoleConnect plug-in will work on any type of channel but it will use no CPU on a channel
configured as described above ( please note: that no audio will be running through this master fader track; it
is just a placeholder for the plug-in). You only need to insert MIOConsoleConnect once per session in the V-
Rack in order to save every parameter of all connected Metric Halo boxes with your session. If you use per-
sequence MIOConsoleConnect instances, you cannot put MIOConsoleConnect in the V-Rack.
Where to Insert MIOConsoleConnect per Sequence
If you choose to insert MIOConsoleConnect in each sequence rather than in the V-Rack you will need to keep
some things in mind: Due to the MAS quirk described earlier, you need to be a bit careful when inserting
MIOConsoleConnect in the Mixer. We recommend that you:
1. Insert MIOConsoleConnect in each sequence, or you will lose access to MIOConsole, or may experi-
ence inconsistent recall of the MIO Parameters.
2. Launch MIO Console before inserting MIOConsoleConnect or opening a session with MIOConsole-
Connect inserted. This will keep MIO Console from being quit and relaunched as you move from se-
quence to sequence.
The MIOConsoleConnect plug-in will work on any type of channel but it will use no CPU on an audio track with
no audio regions. You will still need to make sure that the channel has a valid output bundle assigned in order
for DP to actually instantiate the plug-in, as described above. You only need to insert MIOConsoleConnect
once per sequence in order to save every parameter of all connected Metric Halo boxes with your session.

The best place to insert MIOConsoleConnect is on an unused (virtual) instrument channel.
