Computer Requirements
The US-2400 takes advantage of the audio/MIDI ser-
vices already built-in to the Mac OSX and Windows
XP operating systems. This allows the US-2400 to be
automatically recognized by those operating systems,
and become available to a DAW without the need to
install additional driver software.
Any computer capable of running these operating
systems will function with the US-2400. One avail-
able USB port is required.
NOTE
The US-2400 is a high-bandwidth USB device and should
not share a USB port with other devices. Connecting
other devices to a USB port with the US-2400 may
degrade its performance.
Macintosh OS X
The US-2400 requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or greater,
including 10.3 (Panther). Free updates to OS X
10.2.8 from earlier versions of 10.2 are available
from the Apple Computer Web site.
Mac OS 9 does not include the built-in audio/MIDI
services required for the US-2400.
Windows XP
The US-2400 requires the use of Windows XP. We
recommend that you install the latest Service Pack
available to take advantages of the latest improve-
ments in the OS MIDI and audio services.
Other versions of Windows do not include the built-
in audio/MIDI services required for the US-2400.
