003 Family Setup Guide36
To put 003 in Pro Tools mode:
1 Make sure the 003 unit is properly connected
to the computer and powered on.
2 If Mute is disabled (unlit), enable Mute by
pressing the Monitor Mute switch so that it is lit.
3 Launch Pro Tools LE and open or create a
Pro Tools session.
MIDI Mode
003 is in this mode when either the MIDI Map A
or B switch is enabled (lit). In this mode, 003
functions as a MIDI control surface for external
devices and applications other than Pro Tools.
MIDI mode can be enabled in Pro Tools mode,
Third-Party Software mode, or Standby Mode.
For more information, see Chapter 12, “Using
MIDI Mode with 003.”
Third-Party Software Mode
003 is in this mode when the 003 unit is con-
nected to a computer and you launch a
third-party audio application (such as iTunes or
Ableton Live), and then use 003 as your play-
back or recording device. You can also use 003
MIDI ports as you would those on a standard
MIDI interface.
In this mode, the unit displays “Working...” in
the top row of the LCD.
On Windows, ASIO- and WaveDriver-compati-
ble applications are supported. WaveDriver sup-
ports playback only. On Mac, CoreAudio Driver
applications are supported.
To use a third-party software application with 003:
1 Make sure 003 is properly connected to the
computer and in Standby mode.
2 Configure your system and software for ASIO,
WaveDriver, or CoreAudio Driver.
3 If Mute is disabled (unlit), press the Monitor
Mute switch.
4 Launch your third-party audio application.
5 Disable the Monitor Mute switch (unlit).
6 Use monitor section controls and switches to
adjust audio input routing, monitor levels, and
headphone levels.
Playing Audio Audio from your third-party soft-
ware application can be routed to 003’s outputs,
via the FireWire connection.
Recording Audio (ASIO Driver and CoreAudio
Driver Only) Audio from 003 inputs can be
routed to software inputs in your third-party
software applications, via the FireWire connec-
tion.
Refer to the documentation for your third-party
software for information on configuring inputs
and outputs.
Utility Mode
003 is in this mode when the Utility switch is
enabled (flashing). In Utility mode, you can run
pre-programmed diagnostic tests of the 003 unit
(such as fader movement and LEDs). The Utility
switch is unavailable in Pro Tools mode.

drivers, see the Windows Audio Drivers Guide
