Looking for Pro Tools suggestion

[Peter]

I want to be able to control our studio's Pro Tools system from the
live room. It seems that using midi I could have Pro Tools slave to a
sequencer on my laptop. Does anybody know of a program that emulates
the midi messages associated with an external controller?

This may not be exactly what you're asking, but are you wanting to control the
PT host computer from another room? If so, and you're using windows, it's
fairly easy to control this via remote desktop, an OS feature in XP. If you're
using Mac OS, then I'm afraid I can't help.

The problem with using a sequencer program to control your ProTools
system is that a lot of them don't send time code - they expect
something else to be the master and they'll chase it.

If ProTools accepts MIDI Machine Control commands, you could use Bob
Smith's MMC program which he initially wrote for the Mackie hard disk
recorder. Look for it at http://www.bsstudios.com
