Some TM FX features / controls depend on whether the audio interface (or remote controlled device behind it) supports it.
To put some examples in terms of TM FX:
- this case
- Durec in TM FX is only useable for devices that support it, like UFX, UFX II, UFX+
- FF802 has no digitally controllable Gain knobs, thus you cant save the gain settings digitally into a TM Snapshot
- Autoset is only available/supported in TM FX for devices where the Mic Inputs support this feature, UFX II does
- Instr and PAD can only be activated on preamp channels that support it, like i.e. your UFX II
But this is also possible with your device in combination with XTC as AUX device remote controlled in one TM instance
- some devices have not a full FX engine implemented on the device (BBF, BBFP, MADIface Pro)
in this case - depending on the device - dynamics or dynamics&reverbs are being rendered on the PC
your UFX II has the full implementation
- some recording interfaces have no FX engine implemented like i.e. the FF UC or the RayDAT
- remote control by MIDI over MADI works only for devices with MADI support like ie UFX+ and Octamic XTC
- TM AUX device support can only be used if you have a Preamp connected, that supports this
for your device its possible if you would connect an XTC via ADAT and MIDI cables for remote control
for an UFX+ and XTC its more elegant using MADI
allowing for much longer cables, more devices and to get rid of MIDI cabling entirely
or you might use it in addition to connect ie XTC via ADAT additionally

Big scalability scenario with UFX+ and 10 Octamic XTC would be:
- 8 Octamic XTC connected to UFX+ via MADI, as AUX device, remote controlled by MIDI over MADI, 64 ch @44.1/48
- 2 Octamic XTC conntected to UFX+ via ADAT, as 2nd AUX device, remote controlled by MIDI, 16 ch @44.1/48
Together i.e. 4 + 64 + 16 = 86 Mic inputs !
And all these most important settings (gain, panning, pad, instr,..) of UFX+ and Octamic XTC (configured as AUX device)
can be stored snapshots / workspaces of ONE (!) TM FX instance of the UFX+ !
What I want to say, its worth to look at devices in detail, esp if you have special demands or plan for longer use and/or scalability.
