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.
For more information, see the 003 MIDI Mode
Guide.
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 Able-
ton Live), and then use 003 as your playback or
recording device. You can also use 003 MIDI
ports as you would those on a standard MIDI in-
terface.
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.
For more information on third party audio
drivers, see the Windows Audio Drivers Guide
(for ASIO or WaveDriver on Windows) or the
CoreAudio Drivers Guide (Mac).
See the Windows Audio Drivers Guide (for
ASIO and WaveDriver on Windows) or the
CoreAudio Drivers Guide (Mac).
See Appendix C, “Utility Mode (003 Only)”
for more information.
