23. Operation and Usage
23.1 General
Using the three rotary encoders and the clear colour display the Fireface UFX II can be config-
ured and set up completely at the device. Additionally internal memory allows for the permanent
storage of six different states of the unit. Therefore the Fireface UFX II is able to operate fully
stand-alone, without any connected computer. In stand-alone operation it can transform into
totally different devices by the simple click of a button. Furthermore TotalMix FX, 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 Fireface UFX II has a simple menu structure, depending on the button pressed.
MIC/GAIN. First push brings up the Mic.Instr. Gain 9/10, second push Mic.Instr. Gain 11/12,
third push returns to the meter screen.
REC/PLAY. Brings up the Record/Playback (Direct USB Recording) menu, second push re-
turns to the meter screen.
CHAN/MIX. First push brings up the Channel menu, second push the Mix to menu, third push
returns to the meter screen. In the Channel menu encoder 1 selects the input and output to be
configured, encoder 2 selects the function to be configured. These are Settings, Low Cut, Pa-
rametric EQ, Compressor/Expander and Auto Level.
The Mix to menu gives access to the whole submix functionality. Encoder 1 selects the mix
destination, encoder 2 the source. A source can be modified in mix level and panorama.
SETUP/REV. Encoder 1 selects Setups, Options and Reverb/Echo. Options has the subpages
Clock Options, HW Options/Diagnosis and Control Room Options. Reverb/Echo has the sub-
pages Reverb and Echo. The subpages are selected by encoder 2.
23.3 Store / Load Setups at the Unit
After hitting the key SETUP/REV, turning encoder 1 changes to Setups. First select the pre-
ferred memory slot, then the desired process (load or store). The load/store process is com-
pleted by pushing encoder 2 for more than one second.
The UFX+ has six memory slots for free usage. Three fixed slots offer convenient and quick
reset and configuration of the unit:
Factory. Sets the unit into factory default state.
AD/DA A. Configures an ADAT analog to digital and vice versa converter (12 analog I/Os).
23.4 Storing Setups from the Computer
Setups can also be loaded into the unit from the computer. As the Setups are usually generated
at the computer the final step of transmission offers a convenient workflow. In TotalMix FX use
Options / Store current state into device to select the desired storage place (Setup) within the
unit.
