Example of how to set up TotalMix FX and OctaMic XTC for remote via MADI with a UFX+
and two OctaMic XTC
MADI cabling starting from the UFX+ (so called loop cabling):
¾ UFX+ MADI Out → XTC1 MADI In
¾ XTC1 MADI Out → XTC2 MADI In (with only one XTC: UFX+ MADI In)
¾ XTC2 MADI Out → UFX+ MADI In
Preferred clock source at the XTCs is MADI (configured at the unit), the UFX+ is configured in
the Settings dialog to clock source Internal.
Recommended MADI settings on all devices: 64 channels, MADI Frame 96k.
Set the Delay Compensation on all OctaMic XTC to Auto-CA. All connected OctaMic XTC (1 up
to 8) then detect and set their Device ID automatically. Alternatively one can set individual De-
vice IDs manually at the devices.
Set the MIDI Device ID (0 to 7) on all OctaMic XTC die. Each unit requires a unique, individual
MIDI Device ID for remote operation.
Set up the remote control for MIDI over MADI in the menu MIDI Sources:
¾ Control (Inp.) = MADI In
¾ USB MIDI 1 = OFF
¾ USB MIDI 2 = OFF
¾ MIDI DIN out = OFF
¾ MIDI ov. MADI = Control
Select these settings in TotalMix FX under Options / Settings / Aux. Devices:
For the first XTC:
Device Settings
¾ Digital Channels: MADI 1 - 8
¾ Device: OctaMic XTC
MIDI Settings
¾ MIDI In: UFX MIDI Port 3 (= MADI optical)
¾ MIDI Out: UFX MIDI Port 3 (= MADI optical)
¾ Device ID: 0
For the second XTC:
Device Settings
¾ Digital Channels: MADI 9 - 16
¾ Device: OctaMic XTC
MIDI Settings
¾ MIDI In: UFX MIDI Port 3 (= MADI optical)
¾ MIDI Out: UFX MIDI Port 3 (= MADI optical)
¾ Device ID: 1
Note
: Remote control for Auxiliary Devices does not need to be specifically activated (Options,
Enable MIDI Control to Off).
The integration within TotalMix FX has the advantage of saving the most important mic-pre
settings directly in Snapshots and Workspaces. This way they are always available in TotalMix
FX.
