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).
