The following sections outline the assignment of Tascam US-428 and US-224 interface elements to Logic functions.
Note: The US-224 only offers four channel strips and transport controls, and lacks the EQ and Master sections (excluding the NULL button and data wheel) of the US-428. Many operations listed below are specific to the additional controls of the US-428, and cannot be performed with the US-224.
The following table outlines the channel strip controls and their assignments:
Note: A modifier button (such as NULL) shown below a control description indicates that the control has an alternate function or use while the modifier is held down.
Control | Modifier | Assignment |
---|---|---|
MUTE 1 to 8 | SOLO LED off: switches Mute on/off; LED displays Mute status. SOLO LED on: switches Solo on/off; LED displays Solo status. | |
REC 1 to 8 LEDs | Displays Record Enable status. | |
NULL | On if fader is higher than actual channel volume (in Logic Pro). | |
SELECT 1 to 8 LEDs | Displays select status (of channel). | |
NULL | On if fader is lower than actual channel volume (in Logic Pro). | |
SELECT 1 to 8 buttons | Selects channel. | |
REC | Activates/deactivates Record Enable status. | |
Fader 1 to 8 | Controls channel volume. | |
NULL | Allows you to update the fader position to match the actual volume (in Logic Pro). | |
Master fader | Controls Master volume fader (or Output 1 and 2, if no Master fader channel exists in the project). |
The following table outlines the EQ controls and their assignments:
Note: A modifier button (such as NULL) shown below a control description indicates that the control has an alternate function or use while the modifier is held down.
Control | Modifier | Assignment |
---|---|---|
Gain | Controls the Gain of the currently selected EQ band (of chosen channel). | |
Freq | Controls the Frequency of the currently selected EQ band (of chosen channel). | |
Q | Controls the Q Factor of the currently selected EQ band (of chosen channel). | |
HIGH | Selects EQ band 3 (allowing use of Gain, Freq, and Q controls for this band). | |
ASGN | Switches EQ band 3 bypass state. | |
HI-MID | Selects EQ band 4 (allowing use of Gain, Freq, and Q controls for this band). | |
ASGN | Switches EQ band 4 bypass state. | |
LO-MID | Selects EQ band 5 (allowing use of Gain, Freq, and Q controls for this band). | |
ASGN | Switches EQ band 5 bypass state. | |
LOW | Selects EQ band 6 (allowing use of Gain, Freq, and Q controls for this band). | |
ASGN | Switches EQ band 6 bypass state. |
The following table outlines the master section controls and their assignments:
Note: A modifier button (such as NULL) shown below a control description indicates that the control has an alternate function or use while the modifier is held down.
Control | Modifier | Assignment |
---|---|---|
AUX 1 | Switches data wheel between Transport/Scrub mode and Send 1 Level. | |
ASGN | Switches Send 1 Mute state. | |
AUX 2 | Switches data wheel between Transport/Scrub mode and Send 2 Level. | |
ASGN | Switches Send 2 Mute state. | |
AUX 3 | Switches data wheel between Transport/Scrub mode and Send 3 Level. | |
ASGN | Switches Send 3 Mute state. | |
AUX 4 | Switches data wheel between Transport/Scrub mode and Send 4 Level. | |
ASGN | Switches Send 4 Mute state. | |
ASGN | Modifier for function of EQ controls, AUX 1 to 4 buttons, PAN knob, and data wheel. | |
F1 | Enables/disables Cycle mode. | |
F2 | Enables/disables Autopunch mode. | |
F3 | Enables/disables Scrub mode. | |
PAN | Controls panning of selected channel. | |
ASGN | Sets currently selected channel’s input. | |
NULL | Modifier for NULL mode. NULL mode allows you to update the fader positions to match the actual volume (shown in Logic Pro). | |
Data wheel | AUX 1 LED on: controls the Send 1 Level of the selected channel. AUX 2 LED on: controls the Send 2 Level of the selected channel. AUX 3 LED on: controls the Send 3 Level of the selected channel. AUX 4 LED on: controls the Send 4 Level of the selected channel. F3 LED on: data wheel is in Scrub mode. None of the above is lit: data wheel is in Transport mode, and moves the playhead in one-bar increments. | |
ASGN | Sets currently selected channel’s output. |
The following table outlines the LOCATE controls and their assignments:
Control | Assignment |
---|---|
<< LOCATE | Moves playhead to previous marker position. |
LOCATE >> | Moves playhead to next marker position. |
SET | Creates a new marker at the current playhead position. |
The following table outlines the BANK controls and their assignments:
Control | Assignment |
---|---|
< BANK | Shifts fader bank left by one bank. (A bank is a group of channels.) The LED is lit if the leftmost fader bank has not been reached. |
BANK > | Shifts fader bank right by one bank. The LED is lit if the rightmost fader bank has not been reached. |
