1. 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 TASCAM FW 1082 Owner s Manual 19 4 Control Surface Modes and Operation 2 Select the settings tab 3 In the drop down control Protocol menu select HUI Emulation FW 1082 Control Panel Settings MIDI Programming Quick Start Control Protocol r Audio Latency 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 Clocking Clock Source Audio intemal wd Coax Output Source SPDIF 12 zl Samoe Bal I Master Fader Affects ANLG 1 2 Gain pA El OVR Threshold BFS 25 In Syne I Compensate for Converter Delays WDM Unit Versions Register 196628 ARM 164 TASCAM Version 1 21 Hardware 5 FPGA 49 FireWire Figure 4 4 Selecting HUI emulation protocol 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 MIDI Control Mode General Notes In MIDI CTRL mode the FW 1082 s keys encoders and f
