Waves and Midas have announced ProLink integration for Midas HD96 consoles and Waves SuperRack.
With this update, the use of Waves plug-ins as part of a Midas HD96 console workflow relationship becomes more powerful. ProLink establishes a direct connection between the Midas HD96 and SuperRack, making the console the primary interface for controlling plug-ins, without the need for an external keyboard and mouse. Among the benefits are Snapshot Synchronization, the ability to fire a snapshot on the console to recall the corresponding SuperRack snapshot, keeping sessions locked in-step throughout a show, and Session Management, where loading a show on the Midas HD96 loads the corresponding SuperRack session, with session naming and saving fully integrated.
Plug-in Control allows selected Waves plug-in parameters to be controlled directly using the console’s Touch and Turn encoder, delivering hands-on, tactile plug-in control from within the familiar Midas environment, while with PFL/Solo Focus, soloing a channel on the console automatically brings the corresponding plug-in rack to the front of the SuperRack screen. Global Tempo Sync brings time-based plug-ins, including delays and tremolos, automatically sync with the console’s global tempo in real time.
‘For many engineers using SuperRack alongside Midas consoles, this update creates a more seamless and intuitive workflow, with direct console control designed for the pace and demands of live production,’ says Noam Raz, General Manager of Waves Live Sound division.
‘With the introduction of Waves ProLink on the Midas Heritage platform, it’s now easier than ever for engineers to move seamlessly between onboard FX, Waves processing, and SuperRack workflows,’ adds Midas Brand Leader, Pete Sadler. ‘This integration is all about delivering greater flexibility, faster control, and a more intuitive experience for users in demanding live environments.’
With ProLink, the Midas HD96 becomes an extension of Waves SuperRack with direct encoder control of plug-ins, automatic rack naming, and a unified session environment that keeps everything in sync from soundcheck through the final bow.
