Tascam US-428 Setup Manual

Setting up the US-428 with Steinberg’s Nuendo

The US-428 is fully supported under Nuendo v1.xx for Windows and Mac, including ASIO 16 and

24 bit drivers and control surface mapping. We suggest you make sure you’ve got the most current update.

Before setting up the US-428 to work with Nuendo, please install the US-428 v3.0 drivers. (Refer to the document on installing the US-428 drivers with either Win98SE/ME or Win2000.) Begin the setup procedure below with the US-428 plugged in and power on. If you have not already done so, install Nuendo.

Installing the US-428 under Nuendo:

•

Open the Nuendo application

•

From the D EVICES menu, choose D EVICE S ETUP .

•

Select the A DD /R EMOVE tab. Select “T ASCAM US-428” from the device menu and click

A DD . T ASCAM US-428 should appear on the list of loaded devices on the left side of the window.

•

Highlight US-428 and click the S ETUP tab. Select US-428 C ONTROL PORT for MIDI I NPUT and MIDI O UTPUT .

•

Highlight VST M ULITITRACK . In the ASIO D RIVER pull-down menu, select ASIO US-428

(16- or 24-bit) driver.

•

Highlight D EFAULT MIDI P ORTS . Select US-428 MIDI 1 or 2 from the I NPUT and O UTPUT drop-down menus.

•

From the D EVICES menu, choose VST I NPUTS . Make sure at least one pair of inputs for the US-428 are set to active.

If you’re running Nuendo for the first time, you’ll need to create a new project. Select F ILE /N EW

P ROJECT , and choose E MPTY P ROJECT .

You’ll then need to add tracks to the project. Select the P ROJECT /A DD T RACKS menu. This can be done one-at-a-time by choosing the type of track ( AUDIO , MIDI or GROUP ), or by selecting

M ULTIPLE .

Once you’ve created Audio tracks, you can open the VST Mixer (D EVICES /VST M IXER , or press

F1 on the US-428 or F3 on your computer keyboard). You should have control of Nuendo’s faders, mutes, transports and other basic functions, as well as EQ and Aux sends. The controller mapping for the US-428 within Nuendo lagely follows the same protocols as Cubase and

Cubasis. Refer to the US-428 manual for more info on these functions. Refer to the Nuendo manual for more info on basic operations of the program.
