TASCAM US-2400 Owner’s Manual
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 Per-
former 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 emu-
lation 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 Per-
former 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 repre-
sented 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. 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 avail-
able.
When CHAN is pressed, the encoders send generic
MIDI controller messages as described in “MIDI
Controller Mode” on page 12.
