[. . . ] D00804300A DAW Controller USER'S GUIDE The following marking is located on the bottom of the unit: Ü ÿ Y This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel. Please record the model number and serial number and retain them for your records. Model number Serial number CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT (for U. K. [. . . ] If your DAW is not one of the ones covered in the "Applications" section, please refer to your DAW's documentation to ensure that it supports multiple control surfaces, either HUI or Mackie Control and follow the basic steps described here. In the case of Mackie Control emulation, you may need to experiment with the three emulation modes provided by the US-2400 to find the one that properly controls your DAW's Aux sends and maps the US-2400's IN and OUT keys to useful functions. · Enable the US-2400 MIDI ports in your DAW's MIDI configuration window. Restarting the DAW software may be required for this change to take effect. · Open the Control Surface configuration window in your DAW software. · For DAWs that support multiple control surfaces as a single unified device, assign each US-2400 MIDI port to a separate control surface entry. Generally, you'll have to choose a control surface here that allows the DAW to find the US-2400 in a particular control surface mode. For example, if the US-2400 is emulating the HUI protocol, you would choose three HUI devices, each one on a different US2400 MIDI port. · Assign the ports left to right as follows: Port 1 represents faders 1­8; Port 2 represents faders 9­16; Port 3 represents faders 17­24; Port 4 represents the joystick. · You may need to quit and restart the DAW application for the above control surface assignments to take effect. Firmware Update Procedure From time to time new firmware may be posted for download from TASCAM's Web sites. This will be a self-guided updater utility with versions for both Macintosh and Windows computers. We recommend that you check the TASCAM Web sites periodically to ensure that you have the latest firmware installed in your US-2400. 10 TASCAM US-2400 Owner's Manual 4 ­ General Use This section covers use of specific controls and features of the US-2400 itself. For more details about using or configuring the US-2400 with your particular DAW app, please refer to the section entitled "Applications" on page 16. Encoder Modes The rotary encoders can operate in a variety of modes, offering flexibility and comprehensive control. Each of their modes is detailed below. Pan This is the default mode for the encoders. It is functionally the same in any control surface mode (HUI, Mackie Control, or Native). When in this mode, the encoder sends channel pan control data to the DAW application. If the US-2400 is not in pan encoder mode, press the PAN key above the wheel to enable pan encoder mode (the key lights). There is a single LED below the encoder itself which may indicate center pan position when lit. Note that some DAWs do not transmit this information so your center indication LED may or may not illuminate with your DAW. Since these are continuous-turn, multi-function soft encoders, they are not detented, to provide maximum resolution. Center Hard left (HUI & Hard right Mackie Control (Native modes) mode) NOTE The US-2400 ring encoders are made up of 15 LEDs. However, certain control protocols (such as HUI), only support 11 indicators to show pan data. In these cases, hard left and hard right are shown on the US-2400 by illuminating the three extreme left or right LEDs respectively. Auxiliary send levels To use the encoders to control the Aux send levels in your DAW application, press the AUX key (above the jog wheel) corresponding to the desired Aux send. Doing so makes that Aux send available on the encoders of all channel strips. [. . . ] The leftmost fader bank containing channels 1 ­ 8 also includes the master section controls. 5 Assign the ports as follows: · Port 1: faders 1 ­ 8 and master section controls · Port 2: faders 9 ­ 16 · Port 3: faders 17 ­ 24 · Port 4: represents the joystick. Control details Generally the US-2400's surface controls function as expected, controlling their appropriate parameters in Digital Performer. For example, faders, MUTE and SOLO keys and the transport controls will control those parameters in Digital Performer. Exceptions and specific details follow: Encoders When an AUX key is pressed, Aux sends are available. When CHAN is pressed, the encoders send generic MIDI controller messages as described in "MIDI Controller Mode" on page 12. 20 TASCAM US-2400 Owner's Manual 5 ­ Applications Transport keys The REW, F FWD, STOP, PLAY, and REC keys normally control the corresponding functions in Digital Performer.
