MIDI MCU with A&H dLive / GLD

KLANG Fader Remote for dLive/GLD

Step 1 – Setup TCP MIDI Tools on Computer

Allen & Heath GLD, Avantis and dLive consoles offer MIDI support over Ethernet. Install the MIDI Control driver first.

• Install Allen&Heath MIDI Control driver (Currently V2.10 2025-04-03)
• Open MIDI Control
  • Choose Mixer type, e.g. Avantis
  • Choose MIDI Channel: 2
  • Choose Protocol: Mackie Control
  • Enter IP address, use 127.0.0.1 if using offline software director
  • Click on Connect

Step 2 – Configure KLANG:app

In the MIDI config section you will see 5 devices. One AH TCP MIDI device and 4 DAW Control MIDI MCU devices.

Select a template, rename it and select that MIDI preset for all 5 devices as shown below.

Step 3 – Configure MIDI Commands on Console

On the console set Utility > MIDI > MIDI Channels: 12 to 16. This is important and has to match the MIDI channel 2 in the MIDI Control driver.

In order to use the Soft Keys, select Function: Custom MIDI and enter the MIDI command as HEX values unter Press.

In the video example we used the following commands for snapshot control.

1. Prev Snapshot: F0 7F 02 06 05 7F (this command will be converted into the corresponding MCU transport command by AH DAW Control)
2. Next Snapshot: F0 7F 02 06 04 7F (this command will be converted into the corresponding MCU transport command by AH DAW Control)
3. Recall Snapshot: 90 5E 7F (OSC translation: /midi/note/1/94)
4. Take Snapshot: 90 5F 7F (OSC translation: /midi/note/1/95)
5. STAGE 1 view (Orbit): 90 29 7F
6. STAGE 2 view (Landscape): 90 3F 7F
7. FADERS 1 view (Faders): 90 2A 7F
8. FADERS 2 view (Groups): 90 40 7F

More Info

Channel names via MIDI MCU are not supported currently by dLive. But the MIDI channels can be labelled in the control surface for better readability.
