PC/MAC

The US-428, co-developed by TASCAM and Frontier Design

Group, is a USB controller for Windows PC and Macintosh

based MIDI Sequencing and Digital Audio Recording

programs. The US-428 provides a quicker and more intuitive

link between audio I/Os and digital audio recording

software than a conventional mouse and keyboard.

When tracking or mixing, the US-428 handles four bands

of fully parametric EQ, level, pan, multiple Aux sends,

I/O routing, and three user-definable parameters.

The number of channels that the US-428 can control is

limited only by the sequencer or recording software.

USB connection isolates the US-428 circuits from

computer noise for enhanced audio performance. The

US-428 includes Steinberg

™

Cubasis VST (MIDI sequencing

and digital audio recording) and Xing AudioCatalyst (MP3

encoding) software.

The US-428 is the perfect interface between familiar

analogue recording principles and computer-based digital

processes. Its instinctive controls and high audio fidelity

make it ideal for recording and post-production facilities.
