Connecting the TC2290-DT Desktop Controller
(when you have purchased the DT Desktop Controller version)
Getting the Desktop Controller up and running couldn’t get any easier. Plug the included USB cable into the unit’s rear micro-USB port, and connect the other end to a free USB port on your computer. The Desktop Controller is bus powered so no other power cables are necessary, and no additional drivers need to be manually installed.
The Desktop Controller will light up upon successful connection. You can now apply the plug-in to a channel in your DAW to begin using the effect. This process may vary slightly depending on your software, but generally should require these steps:
- Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the effect Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to effect slots
- Open the menu where you can select from a list of effect types, which probably includes many stock plugins that are included with the DAW. There should be sub-menu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
- The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the TC2290 and it will now be added to the signal chain.
Double click on the effect slot that contains the TC2290 to view the plug-in UI. There should be a green link icon at the bottom, and text that indicates successful connection between the plug-in and the Desktop Controller.
Note: The iLok License Manager needs to be installed on your computer also if you have purchased the DT Desktop Controller version. In this case you don’t need to create an iLok account or activate any license.
Operating the TC2290
After you have installed the plug-in, and either activated the iLok license or
connected the TC2290-DT Desktop Controller via USB, you can begin inserting
the plug-in to
your tracks.
Adjustments to the effect are done in two ways. Either by using the plug-in
user interface or via the physical Desktop Controller.
