23. Operation and Usage
23.1 General
The Fireface 802 has internal memory for the permanent storage of six different states of the
unit, which can be recalled via the optional Advanced Remote Control*, ARC*. This way the
Fireface 802 is able to operate without any connected computer. In stand-alone operation it can
transform into totally different devices by the simple click of a button. Furthermore TotalMix, and
with this the application examples shown below, can also be controlled via MIDI, see chapter
28.6, Stand-Alone MIDI Control.
23.2 Settings at the Unit
The front panel operation is identical to the one under Windows and OS X. It is limited to the
direct access on Gains and Volume, and the functions enabled by the ARC*.
In stand-alone mode the ARC* has a fixed setup with the following functions:
Turn Encoder controls Main Out Volume
Push Encoder DIM for Main Out
Key Recall Recall function for Main Out
Key Prog No function
Keys A to F Loads the Setups 1 to 6 stored in the interface
23.3 Storing Setups from the Computer
Setups can be loaded from the computer into the interface. In TotalMix FX use Options / Store
current state into device to select the desired storage place (Setup) within the unit. Loading the
Setups in stand-alone mode is done with the optional Advanced Remote Control* (ARC) or the
corresponding MIDI notes.
* Note: the ARC - Advanced Remote Control - is no longer available. It was replaced by the
much more flexible and better supported ARC USB, which under Windows and Mac OS com-
municates directly with TotalMix FX. However, the ARC USB cannot be used with the Fireface
802 in standalone mode.
