8.Other Applications and US-428 Emulation Mode
As we’ve mentioned throughout this manual, the US-224 is an extremely versatile device. Its capabilities as a controller go well beyond those we’ve described thus far with the bundled Cubasis program.
Since the US-224 is based on TASCAM’s very popular US-428, it is capable of providing basic functionality in most of the applications supported by the US-428 (subject to its hardware limitations).
Clearly it would be impossible to fully document the US-224’s operational details with each application. If you want to operate the US-224 with a US-428 supported application in US-428 emulation mode, please refer to the specific chapter in the US-428 manual for details on setup and operation with that application.
It’s also important to note that the US-224 is fully functional as a 16- and 24-bit audio interface and 16 channel MIDI interface with virtually all Windows and MacOS compatible applications. Even those applications which do not support the US-224 as a controller can still use the US-224 as an audio and MIDI interface.
Since the US-428’s release, TASCAM has been working together with developers throughout the professional audio industry and beyond to create support for new applications; much of this research will also benefit users of the US-224. Since the development of new support for the US-428 and US-224 is ongoing and expanding, we recommend you visit the Computer Recording area of www.tascam.com for current news and information, and check out the online users’ forum as well.
These individual documents are also available on the CD-ROM, as well as on our website. As new application support becomes available, we will be posting the information for free download.
