TASCAM FW-1082 Owner’s Manual 19
To set the FW-1082 to Native protocol:
1 Open the FW-1082 Control Panel
2 Select the
Settings tab
3 In the drop-down
Control Protocol menu,
select
FW-1082 NATIVE.
For more detailed information on specific implemen-
tation within the host application, please refer to the
Application Notes for your software of choice.
Mackie Emulation Protocol
The FW-1082 can be used to emulate the control
messages sent by the Mackie Control™.
When in Mackie Control Emulation mode, the audio
and MIDI functionality of the FW-1082 are
unchanged, but the MIDI messages transmitted and
recognized by most of the control surface are
changed to closely pattern those of the Mackie Con-
trol.
This enables you to use the FW-1082 with software
applications which may not yet directly support the
FW-1082’s Native Mode, but do support the Mackie
Control.
To set up FW-1082 to the Mackie Emulation
protocol:
1 Open the FW-1082 Control Panel
2 Select the
Settings tab
3 In the drop-down
Control Protocol list,
select
Mackie Control Emulation.
For detailed information on how the FW-1082’s con-
trol surface maps to controls within specific applica-
tions, please refer to the Application Notes for the
corresponding application .
HUI Emulation Protocol
The FW-1082 can be used to emulate the control
messages sent by the Mackie HUI™ (Human User
Interface).
When in HUI emulation mode, the audio and MIDI
functionality of the FW-1082 are unchanged, but the
MIDI messages transmitted and recognized by most
of the control surface are changed to closely pattern
those of the Mackie HUI. This enables you to use the
FW-1082 with software applications which may not
yet directly support the FW-1082’s Native mode, but
do support the HUI.
To set up the FW-1082 in HUI emulation protocol:
1 Open the FW-1082 Control Panel
