Cubase SX/SL / Nuendo (Win/Mac): Emulation mapping
4
TASCAM FW-1884
Emulation mapping
Below is a description of Mackie Control emulation
mapping within Cubase / Nuendo.
Channel Strips
The eight channel strips and the
master fader on the FW-1884 map directly to the eight
channel strips and master fader on the Mackie Control.
The
MUTE
and
SOLO
keys and the faders are identical
in function. In many cases, the FW-1884 uses the
REC
key as a modifier; for example, holding the
REC
key
and pressing a channel
SEL
ect key on the FW-1884
will emulate pressing a corresponding
REC/RDY
key
on the Mackie Control. To emulate pressing a Mackie
Control push-key rotary encoder, press and hold the
REC
key and press the channel
SOLO
key on the FW-
1884.
The following table summarizes the channel strip map-
pings. For this and all subsequent tables in this section:
y
– means yes, the key or indicator on the Mackie Con-
trol is mapped to the FW-1884.
n
– means no, the key or indicator on the Mackie Con-
trol is not mapped to the FW-1884.
n/a
– means there is no key or indicator for that func-
tion (for example, a fader move).
Transport Controls
Most transport functions are
identical between the Mackie Control and the FW-
1884. The FW-1884 has no
ZOOM
key and indicator,
so the
SET
key is used in its place.
Assignment Section
At the top left of the FW-
1884 are its illuminated
ENCODERS
keys. These
emulate the Mackie Control
ASSIGNMENT
and
DISPLAY
keys and indicators as shown below.
PAN
uses the channel encoders to set both left/right
and front/rear pan position.
NOTE
Since the FW-1884 does not have a scribble strip display,
the operator must use the applications Mixer window
as a visual reference for the following functions.
1
Press
PAN
and
AUX 3
if necessary (this is the
normal default) to set left/right pan.
2
Press
AUX 4
(page-up) to set front/rear position
in a surround mix.
