Tascam FW-1884 Manuel D’Utilisation

The FW-1884’s control panel is where you can display 
and adjust settings which determine how the FW-1884 
communicates with your computer and other external 
devices. To open the Control Panel, press the CON-
TROL PANEL shortcut key on the FW-1884’s control 
surface. 

You can also open the Control Panel in Windows by 
clicking on Start – Control Panel and selecting the FW-
1884 Control Panel icon. On the Mac in OS9, it is in 
the Control Panels menu (under the Apple menu). 
Under MacOS X, “Core Audio” is added to the Con-
trol Panel.

This is where you select how the 

FW-1884’s MIDI commands are interpreted by the 
host software application. You can choose between the 
FW-1884’s Native Protocol, Mackie Control



 emula-

tion protocol, or Mackie HUI



 emulation protocol. 

Additional protocols may be added in future driver 
updates.

This is where you select the digital 

clock input source. It duplicates the function of the 
CLOCK and CLOCK SRC (F7-F9) keys. Changes 
made on the FW-1884’s control surface are immedi-
ately reflected in this window. For more information on 
this function, refer to section 3.6, “Clock System Con-
trols”.
