4 - General Use Channel strip mode Pressing the CHAN key makes all Aux sends available simultaneously for the channel selected by the channel SEL keys (Native mode only). In addition, this mode also offers dedicated EQ controls in Native mode. MIDI Controller Mode When the CHAN key is pressed in HUI or Mackie Control emulation mode, the encoders are placed into MIDI Controller mode. In MIDI Controller mode, the CHAN indicator is lit and the encoders send out Control Change messages on MIDI port 4, channel 1. Encoder 1 is mapped to MIDI Controller 0, encoder 2 to MIDI Controller 1, and so on to encoder 24, which is mapped to MIDI Controller 23. Bank Switching The US-2400 is capable of controlling up to 192 DAW channels via eight 24-channel banks as shown by the indicators located below the master fader. In HUI and Mackie Control modes, this enters MIDI Controller mode; see below). You can assign these MIDI controller messages to parameters of DAW plug-ins, etc. Often it is possible to place a DAW parameter into a "learn mode" where it will sense incoming controller messages and make the assignment for you. Values set in this mode are memorized when the mode is exited, and restored when the mode is reentered. In Native mode, press and hold the F-KEY and press the CHAN key to enter this MIDI Controller mode. Pressing the BANK + key focuses the control surface on the next higher bank of 24 channels. Pressing the BANK - key focuses the control surface on the next lower bank of 24 channels. Holding F-KEY while pressing either BANK - or BANK + changes the control surface focus by one channel in the specified direction. The US-2400's motorized faders automatically move to the correct physical positions to represent their DAW-controlled channels. NOTE The HUI and Mackie Control protocols do not transmit bank indicator information, so the US-2400 bank indicators are only operational in Native mode. 12 TASCAM US-2400 Owner's Manual
