MOTU PRO AUDIO CONTROL WEB APP

DEVICE TAB (CONTINUED)

Scroll down to view these additional

Device tab settings.

26. In the Computer Setup section, you

can specify how many audio

channels you would like to be able

to stream to and from your

computer, up to 128 channels each

way, simultaneously, over USB or

Thunderbolt. Map them as desired

in the Routing tab (page 15).

27. Your MOTU interface can resolve to

SMPTE time code, also referred to as

LTC (Longitudinal Time Code), by

choosing LTC from the Clock Mode

menu (item 13 on page 12). From

the LTC Input Source menu (27

above), choose the analog or digital

input that is receiving the time code.

If you would also like to send time

code (LTC) to the computer, where it

will be converted to MIDI Time Code

(MTC) for resolving your DAW or

other software to MTC via OS X Core

Audio (a Mac-only feature), choose

an audio channel you are not using

for other purposes from the

Computer Channel for LTC-to-MTC

Conversion menu; otherwise, leave it

set to None. Choose the desired

frame format, or use the Enable

Format Autodetect to automatically

detect the frame format of the

incoming time code. When Enable

Jam Sync is turned on, your interface

will continue to operate under its

own clock and continue LTC-to-MTC

conversion, even after it stops

receiving time code. Click Stop Jam

Sync to exit this mode. For further

details about time code sync, see

“Syncing to SMPTE time code (LTC)”

on page 48 and “LTC-to-MTC conver-

sion” on page 69.

28. Use these buttons to manually check

for and install updates for your

MOTU interface. For complete

details, see Appendix D, “Updating

Firmware” page (113). Updating

from a file can be done off line from

your computer, using an update

you’ve obtained through MOTU’s

web site or tech support depart-

ment. The Check For Updates button

requires that the computer (or

device) you are using to view your

MOTU interface is connected to the

internet through a local network or

Wi-Fi. Updating from the internet is

easy and convenient.

29. Use Set Password to password-

protect the interface on the

network. All settings are blocked,

except for aux bus mixing, as shown

above (29). This allows musicians to

access their personal monitor (aux)

mixes from their mobile devices,

while all other device settings

remain blocked. To clear the

password, log in and then click Clear

Password. If you forget the

password, you can clear it in the

Settings menu in the front panel LCD

(see page 59) with either the Clear

Password setting or by doing a

factory reset with the Factory

Default setting.

30. The System Information section

displays information about your

MOTU device, including the

firmware version and network IP

address.

31. Use Restore Factory Presets to restore

your MOTU device’s factory presets.

32. Click Reboot to restart the interface.

33. Choose the outputs you would like

to use for the front panel monitor

controls (Monitor A/B switches,

Mute and Mono). You can also

control these functions here in the

web app with the controls provided.

See “Monitor controls” on page 59.

34. Enable the Foot Switch input here. In

each text box, type the keystroke

you wish to trigger from your foot

pedal. Click ‘X’ to clear the text box.

35. When the Computer Volume Controls

option is enabled (a Mac only

feature), the Audio MIDI Setup

utility in OS X provides volume

control for each output channel to

your MOTU audio interface. In

addition, the volume controls for

your Mac (on your computer

keyboard) will control the channels

you’ve designated for computer

output in Audio MIDI Setup, if any.

Be careful when toggling this

setting because sudden changes in

your computer volume can result.
