TASCAM IF-FW/DM Owner's Manual 5
Installation
1. Connect one end of the provided FireWire
cable to the IF-FW/DM and the other
end to an available FireWire port on your
computer. An inferior FireWire cable can
negatively affect the performance of the
system.
For Windows installations, do not
make this connection until instructed to
do so by the driver installer.
2. Making the following MIDI connections
is only necessary for IF-FW/DM use with
the DM-24 mixer. The DM-3200’s USB
connection provides MIDI communica-
tion for DAW control and MTC.
a. Connect the MIDI Input of the IF-FW/
DM to the MIDI Output of the mixer if
you plan to use the IF-FW/DM’s MIDI
In port to get control surface messages
to a DAW.
b. Connect the MIDI Output of the IF-FW/
DM to the MIDI Input of the mixer if
you plan to drive the mixers automa-
tion from MTC provided by the DAW
or if you require time code display from
the DAW in the mixers readout from
the IF-FW/DM’s MIDI Out port.
If you will not be using MIDI com-
munication between the mixer and the
DAW for surface control or time code,
the IF-FW/DM’s MIDI port may be
used as an additional MIDI port by the
DAW’s sequencer. It can be used to
connect a MIDI controller, sound mod-
ule or sampler.
NOTE
The IF-FW/DM must be connected by itself
on a FireWire bus. More than one FireWire
connector on a computer does not mean
each connector has its own bus. More
often, all connectors go to the same bus
on the computer. If you require additional
FireWire devices, it is necessary to add a
FireWire card, thus adding a separate bus,
for those devices.
The maximum FireWire cable length is 3
meters.
Making Connections
Configuring the Computer
The IF-FW/DM uses the FireWire audio/
MIDI services provided by OSX, so it is not
necessary to install drivers. You must have
OSX 10.3.5 or higher installed on your Mac
to use the IF-FW/DM. Previous operating
systems do not include the correct built-in
services.
1. Make the connections as described above.
2. Power up the Mac
3. Power up the mixer
4. Open Audio/MIDI set and verify that the
IF-FW/DM device is present
5. Configure your DAW to use the IF-FW/
DM Core Audio device according to the
instructions for your application.
