Tascam FW-1884

Introduction

Logic Pro 7 supports the Tascam FW-1884, FE-8 extension and the FW-1082.

Version 1.10 of the plug-in also supports the SoftLCD application which displays
information on track names, parameter assignments and the current value of the
encoders. SoftLCD displays the tracks’ current automation mode while one of the
automation mode buttons is held down. The corresponding encoder edits the
parameter.

Alerts are displayed in SoftLCD. Select buttons allow you to remotely-control alert
buttons.

The following text referring to the FW-1884 also applies to FE-8 and FW-1082, except
where mentioned explicitly.

Set Up

Please follow these steps before using your control surface with Logic Pro.
Â

Ensure that the FW-1884’s MIDI driver is installed. See the FW-1884 documentation
for details.

Â

Connect the FW-1884 to your computer with the supplied FireWire cable.

Â

Boot Logic Pro. The FW-1884 is installed automatically.

Assignment Overview

A right-aligned modifier button (such as SHIFT) below a button description indicates
that the button has an alternate meaning/use while holding down this modifier.

Note: The FE-8 units only offer the Channel Strip section, so other facilities mentioned
here don’t apply. The FW-1884 ENCODERS section does, however, apply to the FE-8
channel strips.

The FW-1082 has no channel encoders, and offers an extended channel strip section.
