16.3 Setup

Open the Preferences dialog (menu Options or F3). Select the MIDI Input and MIDI Output port

where your controller is connected to.

When no feedback is needed select NONE as MIDI Output.

Check Enable MIDI Control in the Options menu.

16.4 Operation

The channels being under Mackie MIDI control are indicated by a colour change of the name

field, black turns to brown.

The 8-fader block can be moved horizontally and vertically, in steps of one or eight channels.

In Submix View mode, the current routing destination (output bus) can be selected via REC Ch.

1 – 8. This equals the selection of a different output channel in the lowest row by a mouse click

when in Submix View. In MIDI operation it is not necessary to jump to the lowest row to perform

this selection. This way even the routing can be easily changed via MIDI.

Full LC Display Support: This option in Preferences (F3) activates complete Mackie Control

LCD support with eight channel names and eight volume/pan values. When Full LC Display

Support is turned off, a brief information about the first fader of the block (channel and row) is

sent. This brief information is also available on the LED display of the Behringer BCF2000.

Disable MIDI in Background (menu Options, Settings) disables the MIDI control as soon as

another application is in the focus, or in case TotalMix has been minimized. This way the hard-

ware controller will control the main DAW application only, except when TotalMix is in the fore-

ground. Often the DAW application can be set to become inactive in background too, so that

MIDI control is switched between TotalMix and the application automatically when switching

between both applications.

TotalMix also supports the 9th fader of the Mackie Control. This fader (labelled Master) will con-

trol the stereo output fader (lowest row) which is set up as Main Out in the Control Room sec-

tion.

Extender support (Settings, tab MIDI) enables the use of the special Extender mixing desk, but

also the addition of any other Mackie compatible remote. Setting the main remote as number 2

and the extender as number 1 will cause the extender to be on the left side. Using this function

the remotes will be shown as one fader block and navigate as one.
