MIDI notes

The d.2 Pro will show up on a Mac or PC as a 1 input,

0 output MIDI interface named “D.Pro Mixer.” On a PC, the 0x1 MIDI interface shows up in all MIDI compatible applications. On a Mac, the 0x1 interface will show up in all compatible applications, and be visible in the Audio MIDI setup utility.

The single MIDI input will present, to any MIDI compatible application, the following MIDI message:

•A controller message, tied to the crossfader, with a value of 0 at hard left, 127 at hard right, with in-between values equally spread out across the crossfader’s travel. This allows you to use the crossfader as a performance controller with all sorts of audio software.

Software installation

For the PC:

When using the d.2 Pro with a PC, it is necessary to first install the drivers and the control panel. The control panel allows you to set the sample rate and adjust the latency (delay) of the audio passing through the d.2 Pro FireWire interface.

Do not connect the d.2 Pro FireWire con- nector to your computer just yet. We’ll tell

you when it’s time to do that.

To install the software on a PC running Windows XP (SP2):

1.Turn off any (non-essential) applications.

2.Insert the d.2 Pro CD-ROM into your PC’s CD- ROM drive.

3.The CD begins automatically, bringing up the d.Pro installer. If it doesn’t, click Start in the task bar, then click Run and click Browse.

Browse to your CD drive and double-click d.Pro_SETUP.EXE. Then click OK to start the installation.

4.The d.Pro Installer opens. Click “Continue.”

5.Next you will see the License Agreement. Read through the text and if you are all in favor, click “I Agree.”
