▲The '''HUI MIDI mapping protocol''' is a proprietary [[communications protocol]] for interfacing between a hardware [[audio control surface]] and [[digital audio workstation]] (DAW) software. It was first created by [[Mackie]] and [[Digidesign]] in 1997.
== Functionality ==
HUI protocol allows a [[digital audio workstation]] (DAW) and a connected hardware [[Audio control surface|control surface]] to exchange [[MIDI]] signals that synchronize the states of their sliders, buttons, wheels, and displays. The user can write [[console automation]] which can then be seen in the DAW.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oHxuDwAAQBAJ
== History ==
The HUI protocol was created jointly by [[Mackie (company)|Mackie]] and [[Digidesign]] in 1997 for Mackie's Human User Interface (HUI), the first non-Digidesign hardware [[Audio control surface|control surface]] for Digidesign’s [[Pro Tools]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.protoolsproduction.com/control-pro-tools-daw-controller/|title=Taking Control of Pro Tools with a DAW Controller|date=2017-02-16|website=Pro Tools Production|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=http://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/mackie/hui/owners_manual/hui_om.pdf|title=HUI - Human User Interface for Digital Audio Workstations - Reference Guide|publisher=Mackie Designs Inc.|year=1998|___location=USA}}</ref> It was subsequently implemented by hardware controllers from manufacturers such as [[Solid State Logic]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.solidstatelogic.com/studio/aws/daw-control|title=DAW Control {{!}} Solid State Logic|website=Solid State Logic|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> [[Yamaha Pro Audio|Yamaha]],<ref name=":1" /> [[TASCAM]],<ref name=":0" /> and [[Novation Digital Music Systems|Novation]].<ref name=":1" />
By the time Mackie introduced the Baby HUI in August 2002, the protocol was also supported by DAWs including [[Digital Performer]] and [[Steinberg Nuendo|Nuendo]], making them cross-compatible with HUI-compatible hardware controllers.<ref>{{cite book |last1=McGuire |first1=Sam |title=Modern MIDI: Sequencing and Performing Using Traditional and Mobile Tools |date=17 December 2013 |publisher=Focal Press |___location=Abdingdon, Oxon |isbn=978-0-415-83927-3 |page=62 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_7xiAgAAQBAJ |access-date=3 January 2019}}</ref> Other DAWs to support HUI protocol include [[Logic Pro]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/presonus-faderport|title=PreSonus FaderPort|website=SoundOnSound|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> [[REAPER]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206863679-Compatible-software-for-Automap-Using-Automap-for-DAW-control|title=Compatible software for Automap: Using Automap for DAW control|website=Novation|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> and [[Cakewalk Sonar]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://homerecordingpro.com/best-daw-controllers/|title=The 5 Best DAW Controllers|date=2018-03-21|website=Home Recording Pro|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref>
=== Mackie Control Universal (MCU) ===
In 2003, the Mackie Control Universal (MCU) protocol was introduced, combining together functionality from Mackie Control, [[Logic Control]] and HUI into a single protocol.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/mackie-control-universal|title=Mackie Control|
