User's Guide Fireface UFX II © RME

While the MIDI I/Os will send and receive Sysex messages, not all apps are ready to do this.

The app Midi Tool Box can be used to verify that the UFX II is working correctly, and the prob-

lem lies somewhere else.

34. Front panel operation

The front panel operation is identical to the one under Windows and OS X, or standalone opera-

tion. The display therefore gives the usual easy access to all features and offers a quick editing

of: input gains, playback levels, routing and monitoring, echo, reverb, EQ, dynamics, sample

rate, status of the optical output (ADAT/SPDIF), and much more.

35. Audio Routing and Processing

In Class Compliant mode, the UFX II features operation very similar to normal operation with

TotalMix FX, with two major differences:

¾ There is no second TotalMix row (no software playback channels), hence no individual

routing or mixing of playback channels. These will always be connected either straight to the

physical outputs (CC-Routing 24 Ch.), or have an additional signal copy from 1/2 to 9/10 and

11/12 (CC-Routing Phones), making the headphone outputs work.

¾ The input effects EQ/Dyn will always be active in the recording path

The UFX II can be pre-configured for CC mode via TotalMix FX under Windows/Mac by saving

up to 6 configurations into its setup memory, see next chapter.

The input signal will pass through all activated functions of the TM FX input channel, namely

settings, EQ, and Dynamics, and is then sent to the iPhone/iPad. Like under Windows and Mac,

the input fader setting controls direct monitoring to the specified outputs. The FX send control

for echo/reverb is also active.

As in normal TotalMix FX use, the options Stereo Width, MS Proc and Phase L/R are NOT

within the recording path, but in the monitor path. This is technically determined and can not

be changed.

The iPhone/iPad output signal passes through all activated functions of the TM FX hardware

outputs, namely settings, EQ, and dynamics. The third row’s fader sets the output level.

Control Room Section settings are inactive. Configuring the Phones output is done by

output channel 9/10 and 11/12.

Both modes can be activated at any time and do not influence the mixer state loaded via the

Setups, as they only influence the playback routing. The current routing can easily be checked

and verified with the level meter display.
