11.4 Software RME MIDI Remote
MIDI Remote is available as free download for Windows and Mac OS X on the RME website. It
can use any existing MIDI port to perform remote control and status requests of all XTCs via a
mouse click. Most appealing is the usage of MADI, offering a direct control of the XTC via MIDI
over MADI.
The advantage of the software MIDI Remote
against a control from within TotalMix FX
(Aux. Devices) is that one gets access to all
settings of the OctaMic XTC.
Brief description of the Windows/Mac OS X
Software Micstasy MIDI Remote
The program includes an extensive english
online help (F1). After the start first choose the
function OctaMic XTC in the menu Functions
(also available via F4).
Then select a MIDI input and output via Opti-
ons - MIDI I/O Setup.
Using the command Options – Start/Stop
MIDI I/O the communication with XTC is
started. The title bar of the program window
shows the current state, like selected ID,
online / no response / offline.
Save Workspace as allows to store complete
setups including all windows in a file, and to
reload them at any time.
Send Single Set of Data allows for an offline
configuration of the XTC, and uses a single
one-time transmission of all settings.
Global selection is done via holding down the
Ctrl key.
The settings of the Setup menu are available
directly on the surface. Names can be
assigned to all channels and all devices.
The multi-window concept allows for a
simultaneous usage and configuration not
only of multiple XTCs, but also of all other
supported devices, even in mixed setups. The
software MIDI Remote also controls RME's
ADI-6432, ADI-648, ADI-642, ADI-8 QS, the
whole M-series, Micstasy and the MADI
Bridge.
Note
: The function Aux. Devices in TotalMix FX and MIDI Remote can not be used for remote
purposes at the same time.
