AN003 : Bitstream 3X – Mackie/Logic control emulation
Downloading the Mackie/Logic control library
You need to use the configuration software to download the Mackie/Logic control library to the Bitstream 3X.
This step by step guide is not specific to the Mackie/Logic control library but can be used to download any
library to the Bitstream 3X.
Download and Install the configuration software
The configuration software can be downloaded for free from the WaveIdea website, at the Bitstream 3X
download area : http://www.waveidea.com/en/products/bitstream_3x/downloads.php
Depending on your computer, you can download the Mac, Win, or Linux version.
For further information regarding how to install the software, please refer to the documentation.
Setup the configuration software to communicate with the Bitstream 3X
The configuration software can be launched from the Start menu on Windows, or clicking the application file
on Mac.
Once launched, go to the preference panel and configure the different fields as follow :
MIDI In and Out devices where the Bitstream is currently attached must be selected.
If you have installed the Bitstream 3X Xp drivers, you will see the above MIDI peripherals, otherwise you will
see “USB audio device” strings.
Be sure the
“Ignore MIDI assignments ...”
and
“Ignore LCD strings ...”
are
UNCHECKED
before you
start programming or uploading. (These two options are used to prevent the software from
downloading/uploading MIDI or LCD assignments), they should be left unchecked by default.
In addition, be sure the group range is not limited (from 0 to 20 for 21 groups), so all 21 groups of the
Bitstream 3X will be properly programmed/uploaded.
As soon as the above configuration is done, click on
“connect to bs3x”
button, if the communication is
properly set, the Bitstream 3X information will be displayed as follow :
