That works in our tests so far. The 12Mic and AVB Tool have their own SysEx header, so an XTC and a 12Mic can also have the same device ID (both devices could have device ID 1, for example).
But please test and let us know if you encounter any issues.

Update: While this may work under some circumstances, it will ultimately lead to issues when the devices are daisy-chained and the remotes are connected to the same MIDI output. Only one remote can send messages to the devices on one MIDI over MADI stream, other remotes must be stopped. Two remote controls can only operate when they are each connected to a different MIDI output.

I could reproduce it (Windows only) - we'll fix that.

It would be great to be able to name the channels.
In my setup the 12mics are for ch 9 to 20 and 21 to 32. I'd like to remember them in the remote, or give instruments name to them.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this will be released in future.
Regarding port selection on UFX+ - port 3 corresponds to the optical MADI signal. If changing the entire setup to optical connections, choosing MADI optical in and out in 12Mic/AVB Tool MIDI setup, the communication should work as well.

Hi Ramses,
I found it in the manual / 21.4 MIDI second paragraph.

Thank you for this software! I am unable to connect via my MADIface Pro.
The manual says the MADIface Pro should provide a MADI Port called "MADI  Pro  Midi", but the only MADI Port shown in AVB Tools is "MF Pro MIDI", which in the manual is described to be connected to the 6-pin MIDI port.
Is MIDI Rremote AVB not set up for the MADIface Pro yet?

A small bug - the first channel in the midi remote AVB turns completely yellow when turning the gain. No other knob behaves like this.

No, it is a strange case where a single channel is part of a gain group. Gain groups are shown in different colors. It would be interesting to see how that happened - if that issue is still there, could you save the current preset and then download it with the web remote?

We have uploaded a new beta version (links in the original post are updated). The beta release includes a mode to set or remove groups, and also changes the MIDI communication significantly behind the scenes. It is now possible to use the MADIface Pro (select the second MF Pro MIDI port).

Best regards,
Max

Can the 12mic with MIDI remote output MIDI commands via it's USB port (e.g. for punchlight)?

Solution is to right click on the midi remote preview window above the taskbar. Right click on it and maximise.
Georg

I have an update concerning that. There is indeed a limitation on the amount of control messages that the preamps can process when receiving them, or more precisely the timing of the incoming messages matters for the devices. Therefore, only one software can send messages to the devices on a single MIDI over MADI connection. Either TotalMix or MIDI Remote or MIDI Remote AVB.

We know that this limitation is a problem for several users, and therefore we are preparing an update for XTC owners that will allow them to control 12Mic, AVB Tool and Octamic XTC at the same time in a daisy-chain. I will post the update here in the thread.

Yes. We had prioritized level meters, channel labels and clock settings, along with a number of additional improvements 'under the hood' and concerning the overall user interface. I updated the links above for Beta 11. And I will post again when the solution to your problem is ready for testing.

Hallo Max
Ich hab das neue MIDI Remote AVB mit UFX+ > XTC > M1610 > UFX+ probiert.
Funktioniert mit MIDI over MADI optical.
Das bestellte 12 Mic kommt wohl erst Montag.
In sofern ist die Fernbedienung über TM eigentlich praktischer.
Und 12mic Fernbedienung in TM braucht noch etwas bei euch, oder?

Die beiden gelben LEDs am XTC (CTRL 1, CTRL 0) blinken wenn ich die App im Hintergrund laufen lasse oder auf einen zweiten Desktop schiebe.
Ich vermute, dass dann die MIDI Verbindung reduziert wird um den Prozessor zu entlasten, oder?

I don't mind responding in German, but for the sake of usability and as a gesture towards the international users of our forum, let's keep English threads in English and German threads in German, distinguishable by the topic title. A simple Google translate helps to bridge the gap. Thanks!

Yes, AUX support has not made it up to the top of the task list for TotalMix.
Also yes, the MIDI polling is reduced when the app is not visible to reduce unnecessary CPU load.

They can be labeled in this remote, but the labels cannot be transmitted to the XTC or received from the XTC. They are only saved locally (per snapshot). The XTC does not and will not support channel labels on the device as the 12Mic & AVB Tool do.

I cannot set the Octamic XTC to 96 kHz with the remote. My setup is Octamic XTC, 12Mic, 12Mic. The dropdown menu is hidden by the GUI of the lower 12mic.

Also I would need to scale the GUI. I takes up too much screenspace. I cannot even see all of the 12Mics controls without scrolling to the right. (I am still on 1280*1024, with my laptop on 1440*900 it fits. )

Is there a chance to name the presets on the Octamic XTC as well? Just for the remote of course.

I always get the warning that another application uses the midi port. I made sure, totalmix does not use midi, have no daw open, I really dont know what to do about this.  (info: not sysex).  How can I find out which app sends out that midi?

V 1.00b12

We uploaded a new beta version.

Fixed in beta 13.

There is a [-] button to reduce the width of 12Mic channel strips so that all fits nicely in 1280. Does that solve your issue, or do you need to scale other aspects of the GUI?
Beta 13 also persists, saves and recalls the size settings for each snapshot.

Added in beta 13 for all devices. Note that 12Mic and AVB Tool also have preset names stored in the device - those are currently not transferred over MIDI in either direction.

Have a look in the [MIDI] setup. It shows the incoming and outgoing MIDI messages. What do you see there?

The "Enable MIDI control" in TotalMix refers to the general MIDI control, not to Aux devices. In order to stop MIDI for AUX devices, you currently have to go through the list in the corresponding tab of TotalMix and remove the MIDI interface from the assignment.

Yes, that works.

Thanks again, this will be useful. I still look forward to being able to control my UFX+, 12mic, and Octamic XTC with one tool, hopefully TotalMix.

That sounds good, thanks for the response. I noticed weird behaviour in the AVB Midi remote though when I enabled the Punchlight in Sequoia.
Funny enough not in the 12 Mic, but only in the octamic XTC remote:

It also happens with the old midi remote and with my punchlight active btw.
Georg

In the XTC routing, third column: Input MADI 15-32
Should be 25-32

Hello

Some issues with remote AVB:
- Received message old firmware detected in 12mic but firmware is up-to-date
- In XTC options/midi routing/, usb1 and din change at the same time, the same with usb2 and madi. Modifications in din and madi have no effect in the device.

My setup is similar to georgob, ufx+ — 12Mic — XTC via madi
I use a punchlight midi connected to XTC but only works when the order is ufx -> XTC -> 12Mic. With 12Mic before XTC doesn’t work. Any ideas?

Thanks

Morning. I'm trying to use this application with a UFX+ and 2 x 12Mic. No luck yet but I'll keep trying and will post soon if I can't make it work.

BUT....I have a new DAD Core256 interface. Is there any way that this software can be used to send MIDI messages via that interface (it has 1 x BNC MADI, 2 x optical MADI) to the 12Mics? I can't see any MIDI ports listed but I wondered if anyone on this forum had found a way of sending MIDI over non-RME equipment to a 12Mic?

Thanks very much Ramses. So...I'm wondering if I can do the following:

Computer 1: connected to UFX+ via Thunderbolt. This computer runs the MIDI Remote software.
<UFX+ bidirectional MADI connection to DAD Core256 optical I/O number 1>
Computer 2: connected to Core256.
<Core 256 bidirectional MADI connection to 2 x 12Mics from optical I/O number 2>

This would rely on the Core256 being able to pass on MIDI over MADI to the 12Mic. Unfortunately I have no idea how the MIDI is encoded into the MADI stream, and what the nature of the software patching in DADMan would need to be in order to pass MIDI in effect "through" the Core256. Maybe it is not possible. I know some Direct.Out devices pass MIDI over MADI but maybe that is only splitting/mirroring devices, not audio interfaces with 1-1 patching.

Apologies if this is a bit off topic for most RME users.
