Owner’s Manual
Joystick
The joystick is made available on a fourth MIDI port,
in order for it to be accessed by the DAW application
independently of the selected control protocol, since
neither the HUI nor Mackie Control protocol sup-
ports surround panning control.
All joystick messages are sent as generic MIDI Con-
troller messages on port 4, channel 2
The X-axis uses controller 80 (decimal) and the Y-
Axis is on controller 81 (decimal).
Joystick Nulling
The
NULL
key's switch is sent
using controller 82 (decimal): 127 = pushed,
0 = released.
The
NULL
tally indicator status is received using
controller 83 (decimal): 127 = on, 0 = off.
Special Features
The following special features are incorporated to
make your work with the US-2400 easier.
Clearing solos
When any channel is placed in solo mode (including
a channel on a fader bank other than the bank cur-
rently assigned to the surface by the
BANK
keys), the
CLR SOLO
key illuminates.
Pressing the
CLR SOLO
key disables all solos, even
if they are not within the bank currently assigned to
the surface.
Flip
When the US-2400 is in HUI emulation mode, press-
ing the
FLIP
key places the selected Aux send con-
trols onto the faders for easy adjustment and
automation using the touch-sensitive capabilities of
the faders.
For example, with Aux send 1 assigned to the encod-
ers by the
AUX 1
key, pressing
FLIP
assigns Aux
send 1 to the touch-sensitive faders. This may allow
easier writing of automated mix moves to Aux
send 1.
Further functionality is available in the Mackie Con-
trol emulation modes, as described in “Applications”
on page 16.
