User’s Guide M-32 AD © RME

The block diagram shows the signal

flow in a HDSP MADI-based remote

control system. MIDI commands from

a software on PC or Mac travel from

the MADI Out of the HDSP MADI to

the MADI In as well as to the MIDI

Out and MADI Out of the M-32 AD.

Additional to the remote commands

further MIDI data can be transmitted,

available then at the DIN MIDI output

jack of the M-32 AD. However, MIDI

signals at the DIN input jack can not

travel back to the computer. With

input setting MIDI the other direction

is active. MIDI data travel from the

MADI out to the computer, but not

back from the computer via MADI to

the M-32 AD.

9.3 Remote Control Software

A free remote software for Windows and Mac OS X can be downloaded from the RME website.

It can use any existing MIDI port within the system to perform remote control and status re-

quests of any number of M-series converters via a simple mouse click. Most appealing is the

combination with a HDSP(e) MADI, offering a direct control of the M-32 AD via MADI. The re-

mote control software then uses a virtual MIDI port of the card, which directly sends and re-

ceives MIDI data via MADI.

Brief description of the Windows/Mac OS X Software MIDI Remote

The unique multi-window concept of the software MIDI Remote allows for a simultaneous

usage and configuration not only of multiple M-32 ADs, but also of all other supported devices,

even in mixed setups. The function M-32 AD has been extended compared to the unit. Settings

not available at the unit’s front can be controlled, the gain reduction is shown on separate

meters etc. Names can be assigned to all channels and all devices.

The program includes an extensive English online help (F1). After the start first choose the

function M-32 AD in the menu Functions (also available via F4).

Then select a MIDI input and output via Options - MIDI I/O Setup.

Using the command Options – Start/Stop MIDI I/O the communication with the M-32 AD is

started. The top line of the program window shows the current state, like selected ID, Online /

No Response / Offline etc.

Save Workspace as allows to store complete setups including all windows in a file, and to re-

load them at any time.

Send Single Set of Data realizes an offline configuration of the M-32 AD, and uses a single

one-time transmission of all settings.
