While it is true there is a HUI on the d8b (w/v5.1) I am not sure how the two would compare. To the question... you should be able to use both but I have never tried that. I have however set up other midi loops with all kinds of gear. For me it was a trail and error until I got it to do what I wanted it to do. There were thru ports and in ports and that for some reason made a difference. Without a midi box it is one big loop in to out and sometimes thru to out and back to in or thru. Sorry I can't be more help with a specific "do this and it will work". Basically as simple as MIDI is, I am continually baffled. Once I get it right I write it down for each scenario as my set up has changed here and there.
Also a big help to me was simplifying the set up by taking some equipment out of the loop temporarily, being patient, and writing everything down. It gets way confusing (for me anyway) so I think I would remember what I just did but I couldn't. Wow, this is getting to be a long one sorry... Basically just start with the three units (I assume) HDR, d8b, and HUI… or probably four DAW. So start with the HUI and DAW get that working and then add another piece – I guess you can tell by now I don’t have a solid answer! I do suggest simplifying the set-up, write stuff down, and add it one at a time paying attention to in/thru and outs that everything is a loop.
Hope this helps (but I can’t see how it could
)
