Panorama Mode

Pushing the knob in LEVEL mode for a second changes to Panorama mode. The display will

show CE for Center, LL for full left and rr for full right. When the value is not changed during one

second the unit returns to LEVEL mode automatically.

Note

: It is not possible to change the channel mode stereo/mono at the unit. This action has to

be performed in TotalMix.

Load Setup

The last option in CHANNEL mode, SU, has 6 user setups and two factory presets. Setups

include the whole state of the unit and are loaded into the unit from TotalMix FX, menu Options,

Store current State into Device, Setup 1 to 6.

To load a setup select SU on the unit, push the encoder knob and turn it. The display shows 1

to 6, FA, Ad and CC (the latter only if the unit is not connected to a computer). Select the de-

sired setup, then push the encoder knob for one second. The display will show i.o. (german for

ok) and return to the SU CHANNEL mode. In case the selected memory slot is empty the dis-

play will show n.o. (not ok).

FA loads a simple factory preset that equals a Total Reset of TotalMix. There is no monitoring of

the inputs, I/O levels and gains are set to factory default. FA also resets the unit from CC mode

back to normal operation.

Ad turns the UCX into an 8 channel AD/DA converter. Analog inputs are routed to ADAT out

and vice versa.

Please note that loading Setups is a stand-alone feature. If done online only the parameters

that can be changed at the front of the unit are updated, means no routing will change, only

gains and volumes of the I/Os are affected.

Note

: The MIDI remote function can not be turned on or off directly at the unit. This is done

online via the Option Enable MIDI Control in TotalMix FX. The current state is kept when chang-

ing from online to offline. Additionally the current state is stored in the six Setups, the unit’s own

memory.

25.3 Class Compliant Mode

When the unit is not connected to a computer the setup option CC is available. Pushing the

encoder knob for one second will show on in the display. The unit had then loaded a different

firmware and operates as Class Compliant device. In this mode it can be used under Mac OS X

without any driver, although operation and usage are quite limited.

The main point about this mode is that the UCX can then work as audio and MIDI interface for

Apple’s iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4. The Apple Camera Connection Kit is additionally required to

convert the wide plug of the mobile devices into a standard USB port. Then just connect the

UCX and get started!

More information on this, as well as demonstration videos, can be found on the RME website.

To use the unit normally under Windows and Mac, the state CC on has to be switched to oF by

pushing the knob again at any time.
