MOTU ULTRALITE MKIII HYBRID [53/112] Bit operation

SONAR AND OTHER WDM SOFTWARE

input source and output destination in your

WDM-compatible software’s MIDI input and

output menus.

24-BIT OPERATION

Your UltraLite-mk3 hardware fully supports 24-bit

recording in any audio software that supports it.

Simply enable 24-bit operation as instructed by the

software. The UltraLite-mk3 system always

supplies the software with a 24-bit data stream, and

when you enable 24-bit operation, it simply uses all

24-bits supplied by the UltraLite-mk3 hardware.

Before you connect the ultralite mk3 audio interface to your computer and turn it on insert the ultralite mk3 software cd and run the ultralite mk3 software installer this ensures that all the ultralite mk3 components are properly installed in your system 15
Cancel the driver search 15
Chapter 15
If windows asks you to locate the drivers if you ve already connected the ultralite mk3 to your computer and switched it on windows probably issued an alert notifying you that the ultralite mk3 requires drivers followed by another window asking you to locate the drivers on disk if this happens 15

A typical ultralite mk3 hybrid setup 25
Here is a typical ultralite mk3 studio setup this rig can be operated without an external mixer all mixing and processing can be done in the computer with audio software during recording you can use the ultralite mk3 s cuemix fx no 25
Latency monitoring to listen to what you are recording via the main outs headphone outs or any other output pair you can control monitoring either from the front panel or from the included cuemix fx software 25

From the factory the phones jack figure 6 1 is a discrete output at 44 48 khz but it can mirror any other output pair digital or analog or serve as its own independent output 36

Push the vol knob twice to view and control the volume of the main outs on the rear panel 36
The master volume adjustment can be programmed to control any combination of outputs see the monitor group on page 84 for details 36
To view the current setting without changing it just push the knob without turning it 36
When you turn the phone vol knob the lcd display provides visual feedback 36

Individual channels once you scroll past master and reverb the page knob then scrolls through all available inputs for the mix bus once you choose an input access its channel settings using the param knob and value knob 41
Inputs menu 41
Once you ve selected the reverb menu you can access all settings using the parameter and value knobs the page knob is not needed and is therefore disabled when editing reverb settings 41
Reverb these are the reverb send and return controls for the bus master fader access them with the parameter knob 41
Summary of mix menu settings for a summary of mix menu settings see mixes menu on page 42 41
Summary of reverb menu settings see reverb menu on page 42 for a summary 41
The reverb processor is not available at sample rates above 48 khz therefore when the ultralite mk3 is operating at 88 khz or higher the reverb menu does not appear in the lcd 41
The reverb settings push the channel button repeatedly until you see reverb in the channel section of the lcd figure 6 9 this is similar to accessing the reverb tab in cuemix fx the reverb tab on page 83 41
All settings including all mix settings and global settings are saved in the ultralite mk3 s memory and they remain in effect even when the ultralite mk3 is not connected to a computer this allows you to use the ultralite mk3 as a stand alone 8 bus mixer you can make adjustments to any setting at any time from the front panel 42

Advantages over host based mixing and processing 62
Cuemix fx installation 62
Cuemix fx is installed with the rest of your ultralite mk3 software 62
Cuemix fx provides several major advantages over mixing and processing in your host audio software 62
Cuemix has no buffer latency thanks to the ultralite mk3 s dsp chip cuemix provides the same throughput performance as a digital mixer 62
Cuemix mixing and effects processing imposes no processor drain on the computer s cpu 62
Cuemix routing can be maintained independently of individual software applications or projects 62
Cuemix routing can operate without the computer allowing the ultralite mk3 to operate as a portable stand alone mixer with effects 62
Each input output and mix bus provides a send to the classic reverb processor which then feeds reverb returns to mix busses and outputs with a selectable split point between them to prevent send return feedback loops 62

Resolving cubase or nuendo to smpte time code 105
Syncing to smpte time code 106
The ultralite mk3 system can resolve directly to smpte time code it can also generate time code under its own clock or while slaving to time code therefore the ultralite mk3 can act both as an audio interface and as a smpte time code synchronizer to which you can slave other devices you can use the ultralite mk3 to slave your audio software to time code as well as long as your software supports sample accurate sync which is the means by which the software follows the ultralite mk3 the accuracy may not be sample accurate but in most cases it will be very close 106
