Tascam US-428 - Cubase VST Integration (MacOS)

38
8.2 Cubase VST – MacOS
The US-428 is fully supported under
Cubase v5.00 for MacOS, including
ASIO 16 and 24 bit drivers and control
surface mapping. Note: the US-428 is
fully functional as both an audio and 32
channel MIDI interface in earlier
versions of Cubase as well. In v4.1,
partial functionality of the controller
surface is supported; however, to fully
utilize the features of the US-428 under
Cubase Mac, it is necessary to run
v5.00 or later.
Before setting up the US-428 to work
with Cubase, please install the US-428
MacOS v2.00 drivers, and set up the
OMS. (Refer to the enclosed
documents on setting up both the
drivers and OMS.) Begin the setup
procedure below with the US-428
plugged in and powered on.

Open the Cubase application.
From the O
PTIONS pulldown menu,
choose M
IDI SETUP / SYSTEM. Under
OMS C
OMPATIBILITY, select IN AND OUT.

PTIONS / MIDI SETUP /
S
YSTEM menu, open the INPUT FROM
menu and enable all inputs shown for
the US-428 (MIDI 1, MIDI 2 and

DEVICE selector and choose one of
the US-428’s ASIO drivers (16 or 24
bit) as the device.

setup to load automatically.
