Topic: Babyface Pro Fs and X-Touch connection problems.

Hi Folks:

I am in a quandary here.  For some reason, I am unable to connect my X-Touch with my Babyface Pro Fs.  I do have them working on my Intel Nook but I can't get them communicating on my Del XPS 8950 computer.

I know about the in/out port settings and, just in case that was the problem, I disabled the Windows firewall which, as I understand it, leaves all ports exposed.

I can use the Babyface Pro FS in Reaper and it works just fine.  I can also configure the X-Touch to work in Reaper and it also works just fine. I just can't control the Babyface Pro Fs with my X-Touch.

Is there some kind of a security setting that I am not aware of?

Any help would be appreciated all over the place.

In Totalmix menu Options / Settings / Midi-tab : Mackie control options : Enable protocol support - enable this
Also in Totalmix menu Options : enable Midi control

Hello:

Thanks all over the place: I completely forgot about that.

Is there a way to enable phantom power on the BabyFace Pro Fs using the X-Touch?

Again: thanks all over the place.

Re: Babyface Pro Fs and X-Touch connection problems.

There are 8 funtion keys on the X-touch, F1 to F8, if you find a way to assign one of these to the command for phantom power, it can work.
Unfortunately the user manual of the X-touch is missing a lot. These function keys are overlooked complete.
You have to hope for luck and push every button, may be one of them does the trick.

Phantom Power is not controllable directly in Totalmix via MIDI/Mackie.
You could use a workaround by triggering Snapshots, via MIDI/Mackie.
