System Requirements And Compatibility - DigiDesign 003 Family Setup Manual

Pro Tools LE uses your computer's CPU to
mix and process audio tracks (host process-
ing). Computers with faster clock speeds
yield higher track counts and more plug-in
processing.
System Requirements and
Compatibility
003 family interfaces can be used with a Digide-
sign-qualified Mac or Windows computer run-
ning Pro Tools LE software.
A DVD drive is required to use the Pro Tools In-
staller disc.
Digidesign can only assure compatibility and
provide support for hardware and software it
has tested and approved.
For complete system requirements and a list of
Digidesign-qualified computers, operating sys-
tems, hard drives, and third-party devices, refer
to the latest information on the Digidesign web-
site:

MIDI Requirements
003 and 003 Rack include one MIDI In port and
two MIDI Out ports, providing 16 channels of
MIDI input and 32 channels of MIDI output. T
The 003 Rack+ includes one MIDI In port and
one MIDI Out port, providing 16 channels of
MIDI I/O.
003 family interfaces support any device that
supports MIDI continuous controller (CC) data.
Drivers are provided to use 003 as a MIDI con-
trol surface on any supported Mac or Windows
computer with virtually any compatible soft-
ware.
In MIDI mode, 003 family units send the same
MIDI control data over FireWire and the MIDI
Out 1 port. It responds to MIDI data received
over FireWire and from the MIDI In port. Be sure
that your MIDI cables are correctly connected to
any external MIDI device you want to control,
or to a MIDI router or MIDI interface (that is also
connected to your computer).
If you require additional MIDI ports, add a MIDI
interface to your system. USB MIDI interfaces
work effectively with Pro Tools systems on Win-
dows or Mac. Serial MIDI interfaces are sup-
ported on Windows systems only.
Only USB MIDI interfaces are compatible
with Pro Tools systems for Mac OS X.
Modem-to-serial port adapters and serial
MIDI devices are not supported.

design website at:
