4 – Control Surface Modes and Operation

24 TASCAM FW-1884 Owner’s Manual

4.1.3 HUI Emulation Protocol

The FW-1884 can be used to emulate the control mes-

sages sent by the Mackie HUI (Human User Inter-

face). When in HUI Emulation mode, the audio and

MIDI functionality of the FW-1884 are unchanged,

but the MIDI messages transmitted and recognized by

most of the control surface are changed to closely pat-

tern those of the Mackie HUI. This enables you to use

the FW-1884 with software applications which may

not yet directly support the FW-1884’s Native Mode,

but do support the HUI.

To set up the FW-1884 in HUI Emulation protocol:

1 Open the FW-1884 Control Panel

2 Select the Settings tab

3 In the drop-down CONTROL PROTOCOL

menu, select HUI EMULATION.

For detailed information on how the FW-1884’s con-

trol surface maps to controls within specific applica-

tions, please refer to the application notes for the

corresponding FW-1884 application note.

4.2 MIDI Control Mode – (General Notes)

In MIDI CTRL mode, the FW-1884’s keys, encoders

and faders can be used to control external MIDI

devices by transmitting MIDI messages to its four

MIDI outputs.

In MIDI CTRL mode there are four banks, which you

can switch between using the

h BANK y keys. With

the exception of the master fader, each of the four

banks can represent a separate and independent layer of

channel faders, encoders and keys. The master fader is

global to all banks and all control surface modes.

In MIDI CTRL mode, most of the FW-1884’s surface

controls can be programmed to send out messages.

Only the following keys can NOT be programmed:

•CONTROL PANEL

•SHIFT

• CTRL

• ROUTE

•REC

• CLOCK

• CONTROL SURFACE keys

In addition, note that the eight channel strip controls

(FADER, MUTE, SOLO, SEL and the channel

ENCODER) are all bankable – that is, each of these

controls is capable of sending four separate layers of

control messages, depending on which bank is selected

with the BANK keys.

The FW-1884’s MIDI control messages are pre-pro-

grammed, as described in the documentation on the

CD-ROM. However, you can reprogram any or all of

the controls and customize them for your particular

MIDI setup. This is done through the FW-1884’s con-

trol panel, under the MIDI PROGRAMMING tab.

While in MIDI CTRL surface mode,

SHIFT+CTRL+F8 resets the MIDI surface program-

ming to factory default settings.
