V 1.50 Driver Release Notes
The following describes how to setup Cubase SX 2.2, Cubase SX3, Nuendo 2.2 and
Nuendo 3 for the FW­1884 and how to use the FW­1884 features to control the DAW
app.
Fixed Since v1.50 Public Beta
The issue below was discovered during Public Beta and has been fixed in this Release:
· Adjusting a Pan control after adjusting an EQ control will intermittently adjust the
EQ control.
Installation
There are two Windows files available, a Full Installer and an Updater. Select the correct
one to use from the following guide:
· If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 and have not installed any FW­
1884 drivers, use the 10MB Full Installer
· If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 and have previously installed an
FW­1884 Full Installer, use the Updater.
· If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, use the Updater.
Setup
1. In the FW­1884 Control Panel, select Cubase SX / Nuendo under Control
Protocol
2. In the Steinberg app, select Devices > Device Setup.
a. If using Cubase SX 2.2 or Nuendo 2.2, click on the Add/Remove tab.
b. Add one Mackie Control device.
c. Click on the Setup tab and assign the Mackie Control device’s MIDI In
and Out to the FW­1884’s control port. Press Apply.
3. If using Cubase SX 3 or Nuendo 3, click on the + sign in the upper left of the
Device Setup window and add one Mackie Control device.
4. Click on the newly created Mackie Control device and assign its MIDI In and Out
to the FW­1884’s control port. Press Apply.
5. Note whether Enable Auto Select is checked. When checked, this automatically
selects the channel in the DAW corresponding to the touch sensitive fader when
the fader cap is touched.
· To avoid confusion, we also recommend going to File/Preferences/Editing and
unchecking “Enable Record on Selected Track”
Note ­ If your Project includes MIDI tracks you should select something other than “All
MIDI Inputs” as each tracks input option. Not changing this default will result in an
armed MIDI track trying to record all control surface data.
