NUMBER OF CHANNELS

If your host audio software requires that you
specify the number of audio voices or channels you
will be using, be sure to choose enough channels to
cover the 10 inputs and 14 outputs provided by
your UltraLite-mk3.
MIDI I/O VIA THE ULTRALITE-MK3 MIDI
PORTS
Once you've followed the procedure for enabling
the UltraLite-mk3's MIDI features as explained in
"Software installation" on page 25, the
UltraLite-mk3 MIDI ports will appear as an input
source and output destination in your host
software's MIDI I/O menus.
PROCESSING LIVE INPUTS WITH HOST
PLUG-INS
If you patch a live input (such as a MIDI
synthesizer) through a plug-in effect in your host
software, you might hear a slight delay. There are
O T H E R M A C O S X S O F T W A R E
several ways to reduce this delay. For details, see
chapter 10, "Reducing Monitoring Latency"
(page 57).
WORKING WITH CUEMIX FX MIXING AND
EFFECTS
The UltraLite-mk3 provides powerful external
mixing, EQ, compression and reverb, which you
can operate hand-in-hand with your host's mixing
environment. For example, the UltraLite-mk3 can
serve as a monitor mixer routing channels to
musicians, or it can serve as an integrated
extension of your host's mixing environment. If
you program an UltraLite-mk3 mixing and
processing configuration that goes hand in hand
with your host project, be sure to use the file save
features in CueMix FX to save the UltraLite-mk3
settings as a file in your host project folder for
instant recall of all settings. See chapter 11,
"CueMix FX" (page 63) for complete details.

SYNCHRONIZATION

If your host audio software supports Core Audio's
sample-accurate positioning protocol, then it can
resolve to the UltraLite-mk3's built-in time code
synchronization feature. To resolve your
UltraLite-mk3 directly to SMPTE time code with
no additional synchronization devices, use the
setup shown in "Syncing to SMPTE time code" on
page 94.
