5 - Applications Digital Performer For Digital Performer compatibility, the US-2400 provides a DP-compatible version of Mackie Control emulation. Each bank of eight faders represented by a US-2400 MIDI port should be assigned as a Mackie Control Surface or Mackie Control Extender in Digital Performer by following the steps below: 1 With the unit in standby mode (POWER puls- ing), press and hold the master SEL key and the AUX 3 key. Then press the POWER key to enter Digital Performer Mackie Control emulation mode. 2 Open the Audio/MIDI Setup application, and create one Mackie Control and two Mackie Control Expander devices. 3 Connect their MIDI ports to the US-2400 as shown below. 4 Next, open the Control Surface Setup window under the Setup menu in Digital Performer and configure one Mackie Control Surface and two Mackie Control Expanders (XT) as shown below, each one assigned to a different US-2400 MIDI port. Note that the US-2400 ports appear via the Mackie Control devices set up previously. Each bank of 8 faders on the US-2400 is represented to the computer as one MIDI port. 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 con- trols • 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. Encoders When an AUX key is pressed, Aux sends are available. For example, faders, MUTE and SOLO keys and the transport controls will control those parameters in Digital Performer. Exceptions and specific details follow: 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
