TASCAM US-2400
Owner’s Manual
Features
Following is a quick overview of the top and rear
panel features of the US-2400. For more detailed use
instructions, please refer to the appropriate section
later in this manual.
Channel strips
Each channel strip includes a continuous
rotary encoder surrounded by a ring of
LEDs (LED Ring Encoder) for control
and display of pan, auxiliary send levels
and other continuous MIDI controller
messages. The indicator ring surrounding
each encoder provides information from
the DAW on the current status of the
encoder, and also operates in a special
Meter Mode, allowing an at-a-glance
overview of the levels in your DAW.
Channel strips also include a 100 mm,
touch-sensitive, motorized channel fader
with 10-bit electrical resolution for pre-
cise level control and for control of pan,
auxiliary send levels, and other continu-
ous MIDI controller messages.
Three keys are also included on every
channel strip to control their noted func-
tions in your DAW. They are
MUTE
,
SOLO
and
SEL
ect.
Master section
The master section on the right side of the US-2400
includes a 100 mm, touch-sensitive, motorized master
fader with 10-bit resolution, tape-machine style
transport controls (
FF
,
REW
,
STOP
,
PLAY
,
REC
),
IN
and
OUT
keys, a jog/shuttle wheel and a joystick for
surround panning (which may be used if your DAW
supports this facility).
Just above the Master fader is a
SEL
ect key, a
FLIP
key to place the Aux send controls on the faders,
allowing the touch-sensitivity to be used, and a
CLR
SOLO
key.
Above the joystick are keys to assign the function of
the encoders. The possible functions are: pan (
PAN
),
Aux Send Levels 1-6 (
AUX
), meters (
MTR
), and
channel mode (
CHAN
).
There is also a
NULL
key for use in conjunction with
the joystick.
At the top of the Master Section is a
USB
activity
indicator which lights steadily when a valid USB
connection is present, and flashes to show USB com-
munication between the US-2400 and a DAW.
