Setting up the US-2400 with your DAW application

As well as a Native mode, the US-2400 can be used with Pro Tools in HUI

emulation mode, and also provides Mackie Control emulation. There are

three variants of the Mackie Control emulation mode, to allow for compat-

ibility with three other common DAW applications.

Set the emulation mode in the following way:

1

With the US-2400 power in standby mode (press the

POWER

key so

that the indicator pulses), press and hold the master fader’s

SEL

key

and then press and hold one of the

AUX

keys as shown below.

2

Turn on the US-2400 power (press the

POWER

key) while holding

down the master

SEL

key and one of the

AUX

keys.

.

The appropriate

AUX

indicator flashes three times to show that the

emulation mode has been selected (this happens every time the US-

2400 is turned on, to confirm the current emulation).

Pro Tools: Setting up the DAW

When the US-2400 has been initialized in HUI emulation mode using the

master

SEL

and

AUX 1

keys, the Pro Tools application should “see” three HUI

devices attached to the computer.

These should be assigned in banks of eight faders in the Pro Tools application

using the

Setup/Peripherals/MIDI Controllers

panel:

Port 1 represents faders 1 through 8 and includes the master section controls;

Port 2 represents faders 9 through 16; Port 3 represents faders 17 through

24. Also note that later versions of Pro Tools do not install the HUI control

surface plug-in by default. It may either be found on the Pro Tools installer

CD in a separate folder or on the Digidesign Web site.

Sonar: Setting up the DAW

After the US-2400 has been initialized using the master

SEL

and

AUX 2

keys,

make sure (1) that four virtual MIDI devices making up the US-2400 are ini-

tialized (

Options/MIDI Devices

window) and (2) the first three are assigned as Mackie

Controls or Mackie Control Extenders as appropriate (

Options/Control Surfaces

):
