MIDI Mode
003 is in this mode when either the MIDI Map A
or B switch is enabled (lit). In this mode, 003
functions as a MIDI control surface for external
devices and applications other than Pro Tools.
For more information, see the 003 MIDI Mode
Guide.
Third Party Software Mode
003 is in this mode when the 003 unit is con-
nected to a computer and you launch a third
party audio application (such as iTunes or Able-
ton Live), and then use 003 as your playback or
recording device. You can also use 003 MIDI
ports as you would those on a standard MIDI in-
terface.
In this mode, the unit displays "Working..." in
the top row of the LCD.
On Windows, ASIO- and WaveDriver-compati-
ble applications are supported. WaveDriver sup-
ports playback only. On Mac, CoreAudio Driver
applications are supported.
For more information on third party audio
drivers, see the Windows Audio Drivers Guide
(for ASIO or WaveDriver on Windows) or the
CoreAudio Drivers Guide (Mac).
To use a third party software application with 003:
Make sure 003 is properly connected to the
1
computer and in Standby mode.
Configure your system and software for ASIO,

WaveDriver, or CoreAudio Driver.
