The HUI(tm) MIDI mapping protocol is an open [[communications protocol]] for interfacing between a hardware [[audio control surface]] and [[digital audio workstation]] (DAW) software. The protocol allows a DAW and a connected hardware control surface to exchange [[Midi]] signals that synchronize the states of their (virtual) sliders, buttons, wheels, and displays. The user can write [[console automation]] which can then be seen in the DAW.

It is now used very widely. Many hardware controllers (Tascam FW-1082, Mackie Control Universal, Yamaha 01X, Alesis MasterControl, SSL AWS900, etc.) implement this protocol. Similarly many types of DAW software implement the HUI(tm) protocol, making them cross-compatible with the HUI(tm)-compatible hardware controllers. While HUI is still supported on the hardware side non Digi software has moved on to more open MCU and other midi control protocols as DigiDesign has made extensive controllers with proprietary protocols that have much more rich capabilities but are part of a closed system.
