Using USB with a VeniceU console

This is the Quick Start Guide for the VeniceU consoles. It shows you how to get
your console and PC/Mac ready to use USB.

The VeniceU console has been tested and veried for USB use with the following
computer operating systems: a PC running Windows® 7 and a Mac running
OS® X (version 10.7 or later). However, we cannot guarantee correct USB

operation on any other computer operating system.

For full details of console and USB operation, see the VeniceU Operator Manual.

Windows 7 operating system

This section shows how to install USB on a PC running the Windows 7
operatingsystem.

To install the USB device driver on your PC

◊ Do not connect the USB cable to the PC before installing the

device driver.

◊ Important: Before installing the USB device driver, we recommend

that you make sure it is the latest version by checking the
www.midasconsoles.com website. This is important, as you may not
be able to use USB operation properly with an older version of the
device driver.

(1) Visit midasconsoles.com to download the latest drivers

(4) In the “Welcome ...” screen of the Setup dialog box, click Next.

(5) In the “Choose Install Location” screen of the Setup dialog box, choose the

destination of the USB driver and click Install.

The installation will begin.

(6) During the installation procedure the following dialog box will appear.

Plugthe USB cable into the VeniceU console (type B connec tor) and into your
PC (type A connector). Then switch on the console and click OK in the
dialogbox.

(8) In the “Completing ...” screen of the Setup dialog box, click Finish.

(9) The Archwave icon should appear in the task bar at the lower-right

corner of the screen.

(2) Launch MidasFWInstaller.exe to start the setup wizard. In the Setup –

MidasFW window, click Next.

(3) In the User Account Control dialog box, click Yes.

(7) The installation procedure should continue. After the installation has been

completed successfully, click Next.

You are now ready to use USB with the VeniceU console.

The default settings of the USB software you have just installed should
be adequate for use. However, if you want to change these settings,
open the Archwave USB Driver Control Panel by clicking on the Archwave icon
(shown above).

If you encounter unwanted audio artefacts, such as humming, this is probably an
indication of ground loop problems—refer to the Operator Manual for details.

Mac operating system

USB, when used with a Mac running OS® X (version 10.7 or later), is a ‘plug and
play’ device. So, unlike on a PC running Windows® 7, there is no need to install a
USB device driver.

If you encounter unwanted audio artefacts, such as humming, this is probably an
indication of ground loop problems—refer to the Operator Manual for details.

Mac and OS X are t rademark s of Apple Inc. Win dows is a regist ered tradema rk of Microsof t Corporat ion in the Unite d States and other c ountries.
