Using the US-224 with Digital Performer
Before setting up the US-224 to work with Digital Performer, please install the US-224 MacOS drivers, and set up the FreeMIDI. (Refer to the enclosed documents on setting up both the drivers and FreeMIDI.) You must be using DIGITAL PERFORMER 2.7 or later.
Setting Up
Begin the setup procedure below with the US-224 plugged in and powered on.
Locate the Digital Performer Control Surface Plugin on the US-224 CD-ROM. (If you’ve downloaded the driver from our website, locate the folder on your hard drive.) Drag it into the PLUG-INSfolder within the DIGITAL PERFORMER folder.
Important: The Control Surface Plug-in must be in the PLUG-INSfolder within the DIGITAL PERFORMER folder, along with the Digital Performer application itself.
Next, verify that the ASIO drivers are installed correctly. Open the ASIO DRIVERS folder within the DIGITAL PERFORMER folder. Verify that this folder contains both the US-224’s 16 bit and 24 bit ASIO drivers.
Open the US-224 Control Panel (Apple menu). Select US-224 NATIVE from the pulldown menu. If you will be using a Master fader within Digital Performer, then also select “Master fader sends MIDI only.” Otherwise, select “Master fader affects application output and sends MIDI.”
Open Digital Performer. Select an existing project, or open a new one.
From the BASICS / MOTU AUDIO SYSTEM OPTIONS menu, select CONFIGURE HARDWARE DRIVER…. From the pulldown menu that appears, select the ASIO device option, and then select one of the US-224’s ASIO drivers.
Select the BASICS / CONTROL SURFACE SETUP menu. From the HARDWARE pulldown menu, select the US-224 as the Control Surface. Select “US-224,CONTROL-16”from the MIDI COMMUNICATION drop down menu.
