Pro Tools 6.9.x Plug-In Updates

All Digidesign and Digi-distributed plug-ins for Pro Tools 6.7 and 6.9 on Mac OS 10.3 are compatible with Pro Tools 6.9.2 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.4.2 "Tiger". If you have already updated your plug-ins for Pro Tools 6.9, you do not need to download these again for Mac OS X 10.4.

In order to greatly reduce the size of the web downloads, these optional plug-ins are NOT INCLUDED with the Pro Tools 6.9.x downloads. While you may already have the latest version of some plug-ins, it is a good idea to check the website for updated versions for Pro Tools 6.

Legacy MIDI Controllers

The following control surfaces were not tested with Pro Tools LE 6.9.2, and therefore are not officially supported:
  • JL Cooper CS-10™ MIDI series
  • JL Cooper MCS 3000 series MCS-Panner™
  • Peavy PC-1600™
The Pro Tools LE 6.9.2 installer does not install these by default. If you have a MIDI control surface that uses one of these control surface personality files, you will need to also download the Legacy MIDI Controllers for Pro Tools 6.9.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.

The Pro Tools LE 6.9.2 Update will overwrite any .midnam documents in the following location: Macintosh HD-> Library-> Audio-> MIDI Patch Names-> Digidesign. If you have previously added any custom .midnam documents please make backup copies before updating Pro Tools.
