IMPORTANT! RUN THE ULTRALITE-MK3 SOFTWARE INSTALLER FIRST

MOTU AUDIO CONSOLE

MOTU Audio Console (available in the Start

menu) gives you access to all of the settings in the

UltraLite-mk3, such as the clock source and

sample rate. For complete details, see chapter 10,

“CueMix FX” (page 61).

Figure 3-1: MOTU Audio Console gives you access to all of the settings

in the UltraLite-mk3 hardware.

ASIO MOTU AUDIO DRIVER

ASIO stands for Audio Streaming Input and Output.

The ASIO MOTU FireWire driver allows the

UltraLite-mk3 to provide multi-channel input and

output for Steinberg’s Cubase and Nuendo

software, or any other audio application that

supports ASIO drivers.

The MOTU ASIO audio driver is only required if

you are using Cubase (or another audio program

that relies on the ASIO driver to support multi-

channel I/O with the UltraLite-mk3).

The MOTU ASIO audio driver is installed by the

UltraLite-mk3 Software Installer and properly

registered with Windows, so you don’t need to be

concerned about its installation or location.

For details about using Cubase and Nuendo with

the UltraLite-mk3, see chapter 7, “Cubase,

Nuendo, Live and Other ASIO Software” (page 43).

THE MOTU AUDIO WDM DRIVER

The MOTU Audio WDM driver provides standard

multi-channel input and output for audio

applications running under Windows XP or Vista.

See chapter 8, “SONAR and other WDM Software”

(page 49) for details.

The MOTU Audio installer CD installs the MOTU

Audio WDM driver into Windows for you.

MOTU GSIF FIREWIRE DRIVER

The MOTU GSIF Driver allows you to access the

UltraLite-mk3 as an audio interface for Tascam

GigaStudio and related products. The GSIF driver

features low-latency multi-channel performance.

MOTU MIDI DRIVER

This driver allows you to access the

UltraLite-mk3’s MIDI input and output ports. The

ports are published in Windows and are available

to all MIDI software.

CUEMIX FX

This program provides a mixing console that gives

you control over the UltraLite-mk3’s no-latency

CueMix FX on-board mixing and effects

processing. For details, see chapter 10, “CueMix

FX” (page 61).

MOTU SMPTE CONSOLE

The MOTU SMPTE Console software provides a

complete set of tools for resolving the

UltraLite-mk3 to SMPTE time code, and to

generate SMPTE for striping, regenerating or

slaving other devices to the computer. For details,

see chapter 11, “MOTU SMPTE Console”

(page 103).
