Yeah, lots of interest here too! :-) (eventhough I'm still waiting for the release of iPad 3 before I get one).
I'm sure others are interested as well, even if they don't say it out loud here on the forums!

Are the Direct USB record functions controllable via MIDI or OSC?  I could not find any info...

Don't forget about Android then

android would be nice!

Android oder iPad App - egal ... beides wäre perfekt!!!

About the level meters and rotary:

I talked to the guys at hexler and the rotary problem will be fixed in a week or so:

Quote:
"Oh and the update with the fix for the Rotary
control problem has been submitted today, so
judging from my experience with Apple review
times, it should be out in about a week."

The meter problem is no problem, as we only need to know which midi commands are responsible:
Quote:
"You can achieve this by placing additional Fader controls behind a
Fader and displacing them a bit to "stick out" from behind that Fader.
That's the way the LiveControl templates do this, have a look:

and
"So the unit has to send the meters via midi commands to to the programmed
fader, right?

Yes, it's possible using either MIDI and OSC (or both).
The LiveControl layout uses OSC while the Traktor layout
does the same using MIDI."

and finally

"And again a video demonstrating the same but with
Native Instruments Traktor, notice the two faders in
the upper part of the layout showing the output levels
of both channels:

Check this video at about 0:20 to see what I mean:

RME, please update your wonderful TouchOSC template so we can see the level meters in each block (input/playback/Outs).

Thank you very much.

Hi I am wondering if there is still the touch OSC Template by MC available for download somewhere. The link in this thread leads to a error 404 - file not found " The requested URL /download/totalmixfx_0970beta2mac.zip was not found on this server." -

Also I am looking for a midi implementation sheet for the Fireface UC and totalmix. I want to generate a template on the Novation remoteSL so that I can control the FF UC easy on stage in stand alone mode.

Thx in advance. Best Sal Ban

Hi,

I am a new user of a RME Fireface UC and tried to control
it with TouchOSC. Everything works fine, but the snapshots don't
react. I have seen in your screenshots, that you are using snapshots to.
Could you please tell me, what settings could be the problem.

I used a multipush button (1 vertical row of 8 buttons).
In OSC there "auto" is not activated and in the path is "/1/snapshots".
Value Range ist From 0 To 1.
"Local feedback off" is activated.
Controls: 1 to 8.

Thx in advance,
Karl

Dear all,

How can I change to other tracks to use the commands from page 2? I used track+ and track- but that seems not to work all the time.... I started of controlling MIC 1 for example but could not get back to it. It seems to wander between AN 4 and AS 1/2 or something. Maybe a bug? Or is there a direct command to this?

(I use MAXMSP to control TM)

Best, Hans.

I know the response was that this is not the case (5/2012).
Is there any change of this to become controllable. Than we could just switch the recording of by midi if it is not necessary log the tracks and switch on again when breaktime or whatever is up

Ok, great, thanks for the reply. I did not realize that, sorry. I will check

touchOSC is not the best choice on Android.

I would recommend to look at osc-commander (very good templates and focus on totalmix - including graphics for EQ which iPad doesn't have).

Hello touchOSC users!
I just built a new totalmix template for iPhone3/4. I found the existing ones unusable for me, because the faders are too small to adjust the levels precisely. So I built a vertical version with long scale faders for all important values. You can control everything just with you left hand, which is very useful for me if I use it for my own bands, because I can check my Instrument with the other hand. If you find it useful you can download it here:

3 Questions,

1. I have done an announcer unit with talkback features and lots of controlling without hassle. However If I load one of those templates posted above everything works perfectly, but looking at them in the editor none uses midi notes or OSC messages /1/volume1 etc. so I simply wonder how the template actually works when I can't see the scripting/programming in the editor, does that mean I can't "steal" someones work, just the layout itself ? Looking shortcuts if possible

2. I can control Totalmix from my IPAD and everything works, but not the other way around, if I move fades in Totalmix my IPAD do not respond, where do I start troubleshooting ?

3. Could someone give me an example of a OSC string to control let say the 1st Input fader ? I can do it with Midi ch1 CC number 102.

Thanks!!

Hi.

Iam thinking about using ipads as a 'headphone mixer'. (instead of buying external hardware behringer mixers like everyone else does and behriger BCF2000 are more expensive then an ipad2 these days)

I got OSC running and I can control the totalmix software. Great!

But when using the pre-defined OSC template everytime I change something in the totalmix software then the ipad mixer changes to another page. At the moment I can't figure out how to make my own template... but I will try to look more into it.

The idea is to just have 9 faders (1-8 and 1 masterfader) with signals like drums, bass, keys, vocals and master volume for the headphones. 5 people would have an ipad and they just have the 9 faders... without multiple pages and things like that.

Would that be possible?
Or are 4 ipads the maximum which is possible?

Like this:

Thanks,
Roelli.

You can have 4 people connected which is one less than you would like.. However the larger problem is there's currently no way to setup your OSC templates so each individual person only controls their own mix..

For instance if you give person 1 an OSC file and he opens it on iPad, it still needs to have a way for his submix to be selected because when the file loads it wont immediately load his mix.. in order to be able to have a way to select his mix it means you need a scroll button but that means he can also select other peoples mixes and if chooses the wrong one can change other peoples monitors accidently... This problem is amplified when you have 4 people all trying to control their own levels with the possibility that any one of them could change to the wrong submix and screw up someone else etc..

This problem is fixed if totalmix gets global OSC control which allows you to make an OSC file for each user that only accesses their own submix so as soon as they load the file its automatically corresponding to their submix and any changes they make on faders 1-8 will only affect their monitor.

Problem with this is totalmix doesn't currently have global OSC control, its been talked about for 2-3 years.. RME previously indicated it would happen but the update has never arrived.

That's not right!

For sure you can set up separate submixes (headphone-mixes) for up to 4 users over OSC (+ additional 4 users over MIDI). There are several TouchOSC templates with the ability to select a submix within a mixer page (e.g. those I created for iPhone5). You could even name your output channels (e.g. Peter, Paul, Mary…) to make it easy for each musician to select his "own" output once a time or at the beginning of the sessions. If your personal outputs are fixed, you could even create a special button in every template, that individually activates the personal submix by submitting a fixed submixselect value. After selecting everyone's submix, all inputs and playback channels can be mixed individually.

The goal is to ensure that a musician is totally unable to access another musicians submix  so when they load their template all they can see is their own monitor mix without any ability to access anyone else.. A scroll button to flick through each submix until the musician accesses their name isn't good enough because someone will inevitably start changing levels before they realise they didn't select their mix first by which time they have already screwed up someone elses mix. Also usually what someone will do when they cant hear a change they are making is turn the volume up and try and notice the change...  can you imagine person A cranking the hell out of a vocal mic that they think is their mix and meanwhile its affecting person B in ears 20 feet away and blowing their ears off..

Please... If you can show me a fool proof way of making 4 individual OSC templates that automatically load each different submix as soon as the template loads, without needing to initialise anything and with no capability of changing anyone elses submix or affecting anything else on the UFX,  I will welcome it cause that's exactly what I need myself.. I spent a fair bit of time with that task around 2 years ago and didn't achieve this outcome, I will be happy to be proved wrong.

the fool proof solution is called global OSC control and its just down to RME to add this feature..

in my experience the button with fixed value for selecting the submix had problems and wasn't a great solution.. I cant recall exactly what happened as it was 2 years ago when I was playing around with it but if you have a touch OSC template for tablet that can do what you are saying please let me download it and I will take a look...

I noticed that I can only use the talkback system of the Totalmix for the 4 Headphone Outs?

Thats not good. 4 Headphone mono Outs or two Stereo Headphones is not enough. A Band will come to my studio and they need 5 stereo headphone mixes.
I could of course make a headphone mix (because I have 32 analog outs) but then the talkback will not be hearable at the other headphone mixes.

It seems that I need a workaround here:
Either use one Headphone Out and connect it after the DAC directly to one channel (ADC) back to the Totalmix Software and add this channel to all other outputs.
Or making a small relais box which switches the Talkback mic, Listenback mic and dims the Control Room by -20dB.

Iam testing a behringer X32 core module now... so I can send 16 headphone outs or 8 stereos.
I can also add compressor, gate, fx to the monitormix AND I can add iphones or ipads so that everyone has his own headphone mixer and even the scribble scrip is beeing send to the musicians ipads or iphones.

Ah... and I fixed the USB problems I had with the madiface USB. It was impossible to record or playback ANYTHING for more then 1 second without dropouts. I reinstalled windows... but the problem was just the WIFI! I switched of the wifi adapter and everything was totally fine.
(shitty macbook pro!)

Thanks,
Roelli.

No. :-(

Sorry Matthias. You're right. Of course - it works like this.
Note to self: RTFM! ;-)

Now I have to figure out how to switch the speakers in the drumbooth and the studio on and off.
Normally the talkback should be routed to the headphones only.
But in some situations (if people don't have their headphones on or if you want to record a choir)
it's good to be able to talk through the headphones AND the studio speakers.

Maybe I just have to make a small hardware switch to switch the speakers on and off.
And/or make a small circuit to switch the talkback as well:
I just tried to make a rough layout for a 'hardware solution' of the talkback on/off switch:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/296 … ckunit.pdf

(reason for this is... I want to use the talkback even if I would use my analog console and tape recording)

Thanks,
Roelli.
