Tascam FW-1082 owner manual Software application notes, Special notes for touch-sensitive faders

1 – Introduction

Software application notes

Since much of the FW-1082’s operation pertains directly to your DAW software, TASCAM has pre- pared a series of application notes on using the FW- 1082 with a number of different DAW programs. These Application Notes are included on the FW- 1082 CD-ROM, and are available online in PDF for- mat on the TASCAM Web site.

To read them, you will need an application capable of displaying PDF files, such as the Adobe Acrobat

Reader (version 4 or above), available for free down- load from the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com.

Since software applications and operating systems often evolve and develop after their initial release, we suggest you check the TASCAM site regularly for updated information. It’s also a good idea to check your software manufacturer’s Web site regularly, for information and version updates.

Special notes for touch-sensitive faders

The usual rules regarding precision electronic equip- ment naturally apply to the FW-1082. In addition, note the following that apply to the touch-sensitive faders:

The faders need a human finger to operate their touch-sensitivity. Do not use a pencil, ruler, etc. to operate them. Even using your fingernails may not activate the touch-sensitivity.

The humidity and temperature of your environment affects the touch-sensitivity of the faders. Under nor- mal working conditions you should experience no issues. However, extremes of temperature and/or humidity may sometimes cause operational prob- lems.
