14. Hardware Installation
Connect computer and Babyface Pro with the supplied USB cable. Mac OS X detects the new
hardware as Babyface Pro (serial number).
In case the level meters of the Babyface Pro show CC during power-on, and Settings dialog
and TotalMix FX refuse to start: the unit is in Class Compliance mode. Remove the USB cable,
hold SELECT and DIM button down, plug-in the USB cable or the power supply. This procedure
changes between CC and normal mode. When the Level meters change to PC the normal
mode is active.
When using a power supply (stand-alone mode), holding down SELECT and DIM for more than
two seconds repeatedly changes between PC and CC. Note that changing the operating mode
is not supported during normal USB operation, so any USB connection has to be removed.
15. Driver and Firmware
15.1 Driver Installation
RME is constantly updating their drivers, and modern computers mostly do not have a CD drive
anymore. Therefore please download the drivers from the RME website at http://rme.to/usbe
.
Unzip the downloaded file and start the driver installation by double-clicking Fireface USB.pkg.
During driver installation the programs Totalmix (TotalMix FX) and Fireface USB Settings are
copied to the Applications folder. They will automatically start into the dock if a Babyface Pro is
connected. A reboot of the computer is not required.
Driver Updates do not require to remove the existing drivers. Simply install the new driver over
the existing one.
Possible reasons why a Babyface Pro is not found after driver installation:
x The USB port is not active in the system (check in System Profiler, USB)
x The USB cable is not, or not correctly inserted into the socket
x The Babyface Pro does not receive any or not enough power. Remove current-consuming
hard drives from nearby ports. Avoid USB extension cables or USB hubs. Use an external
power supply, any standard one delivering 9 - 14 V DC with at least 1 A will work. The con-
nector needs to have – outside, + inside.
