Tascam US-428 - Digital Performer Integration

8.5 Digital Performer (MacOS)
The US-428 is supported in Digital
Performer v2.7 and later. Before setting
up the US-428 to work with Digital
Performer, please install the US-428
MacOS v3 drivers, and set up either
OMS or FreeMIDI. (Refer to the
chapters on setting up both the drivers
and OMS. Information on setting up
FreeMIDI may be found in the Digital
Performer documentation)
Begin the setup procedure below with
the US-428 plugged in and powered on.
Locate the Digital Performer Control
Surface Plugin on the US-428 CD-ROM.
(If you’ve downloaded the driver from
our website, locate the folder on your
hard drive.) Drag it into the P
LUGINS
folder within the D
IGITAL PERFORMER
folder.
I
MPORTANT: The Control Surface Plugin
must be in the P
LUGINS folder within the
D
IGITAL PERFORMER folder, along with
the Digital Performer application itself.
Failure to use the correct folder will
result in non-performance.
Next, verify that the ASIO drivers are
installed correctly. Open the ASIO
D
RIVERS folder within the DIGITAL
PERFORMER folder. Verify that this folder
contains both the US-428’s 16 bit and
24 bit ASIO drivers. (If not you can copy
them from the US-428 folder on the
Desktop, which was created during
installation.)
