Topic: TotalMix Fx - SSL Nucleus - Mackie Control / Extender problem
Hello,
I got myself a beautiful Digiface USB for my control room system and everything is working well, except for the Mackie Control Extender layout of TotalMix in my SSL Nucleus.
Midi connections in Nucleus are made via IP Midi. Nucleus creates 3 assignable layers of Mackie Control + Extender divided in 6 virtual MIDI ports . In the SSL remote software and hardware this corresponds to DAW 1, 2, 3.
Quoting some previous post here by paulnajar: "IN TMFX to get 16 faders to address it you need to assign the left and right side of the Nucleus to 2 different Midi remote pages and enable Mackie Control Protocol for both those pages in TMFX. The ports you assign must be ODD/ Even numbered ports. On Nucleus DAW 1 corresponds to ports 1&2 DAW 2 to ports 3&4 and DAW 3 to ports 5&6.
The Nucleus presents as a Mackie Control Universal for it's left bank of 8 channels via one virtual midi port and a second Mackie Control Extender for is right bank of 8 channels via a second virtual midi port so in TMFX I am using the"Extender To" setting so TMFX sees the controller as one 16 channel device "
So I expect to have 16 brown channels in TotalMix reflected to 16 Channels in Nucleus.
I followed all the instructions but no matter what I do, the first 8 channels work as expected, while the next 9-16 (that should be the extender part) won't work, and will duplicate the first 8, shifted by one channel (from 2 to 9).
In the Mixer of TotalMix the first 8 channels get the brown color, while only the first channel of the extender becomes brown.
Here my connections:

in Options I enabled "Midi Control" and in "Submix linked to MIDI Controller" I ticked 1 and 2)
and here what I get:

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
