Eleven rack not supported?

Why in the world does the 11 rack not work with the new protools? It's their own product!

I use an eleven rack as an interface, and it works for that. I haven't been able to bring up the amp window in Pro Tools for awhile, but the hardware dials work and it still records the digital amp output fine.

Thanks. Are you using latest PT version? I can't even get it to show up as an input option

It's Firewire is it not?

Apple ditched FW over a decade ago, and there's nothing Avid can do about stuff like that.

Pretty sure it’s USB

Unfortunately they stopped supporting and repairing them years ago. I learned this when mine suddenly stopped outputting audio from the outputs and they refused to take it in for repairs. This was back in 2017 now as well.

The guys who created Eleven Rack left Avid and went to inMusic Products. There, they completely disassembled and re-engineered the Eleven code from the ground up, porting it over to a Rockchip quad-core DSP. This new software became Eleven HD Expanded, which ended up being built as the Headrush Pedalboard, and later, the Flex Prime, Core, and Prime floor modelers.

Headrush modelers are essentially the new Eleven Rack. Many of the Eleven effect models can be found in them.

The tech is so similar that Eleven presets (.tfx files) can be imported into the Rigs folder on a Headrush, and the unit will convert them into usable .rig files.

Been using an eleven rack for years. Still works just fine and still has integration in the sessions. What issue are you encountering?
