Topic: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

In the last weeks TotalMix FX had to be updated several times. As a result the official version changed from 1.81 to 1.83, for Windows and Mac. All Mac USB drivers already have 1.83, other drivers will follow soon. These are the latest changes since 1.81:

New in TotalMix FX 1.83:

- Fix: Since 1.82 the old ARC did not work with the UFX and UCX anymore


New in TotalMix FX 1.82:

- Mac only: Includes a workaround for graphics cards that show a scrambled TotalMix FX window after wake from sleep

As you can see version 1.82 and 1.83 include only specific changes for specific interfaces, so immediate updates for PCIe or Thunderbolt are not needed at all.


Download

But TotalMix FX files for manual updating are available as well:

Windows: https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/tota … in_183.zip

Mac: https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/tota … ac_183.zip


Installation

Windows: Exit TotalMix FX and copy the new version into Windows\System32, overwriting the old file.

Mac: Exit TotalMix FX and copy the app into the Applications folder, overwriting the old file.

Re: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

I've downloaded new Total Mix version 1.83 and overwrite in Windows/System 32.
Have a problem:
TotalMix is opened but I can't do nothing. Program not fully frozen. It doesn't respond to any action. Main TotalMix window is opened but program doesn't allow to do anything. No any button is active, and I can't change any setting as well. To close TotalMix I have to launch task manage. On my previous Lat top with Windows 10 everything was OK. ON new with Windows 11 that strange situation happens. Old version of Total Mix 1.81 did not response as well.
Can you help me pls to solve it?

Re: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

What interface do you use ?
And how is it connected ?
Seems the computer has not esablished the contact to the interface.
Did you try different USB ports on the computer and a different USB-cable ?

Re: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

Update.
Several times reinstalled drives and fut_USB. At last, everything back to normal. And TotalMix response and allows makes changes. Looks like Windows 11 not so stable as Win10. I Have frozen effects troubles with other programs, such as video in Youtube. that is a bit strange.
As I understood  - after updates of fut_USB need to shut dowm power for RME ( in my case Fireface UC) and restart laptop.
Is it correct?
Anyway, thanks guys for your response
Best regards.

Re: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

Since the last Logic Pro Update (a few days ago), Logic offers virtual MIDI in/out Ports if the App is running.

https://support.apple.com/en-bw/guide/l … 4ebb64/mac

I tried to use these virtualPorts in Totalmix MIDI Controller Settings for transferring MIDI/Mackie Data betweeen Logic and Totalmix FX directly, 1to1.

In the Settings Dialog of TMFX i can see and assign them.

https://i.ibb.co/pnLDymq/midi1.png

After clicking the OK Button, no Data is trasferred between Logic and Totalmix FX.
After reopening the Settings Dialog the assigned virtual MIDI Ports have gone back to "None"...

https://i.ibb.co/pbnDqgw/midi2.png

But other Apps, which use virtual MIDI Ports work fine.

Anybody here having the same issue?

Not exactly the same (haven't tried the newest Logic Pro, as I'm still running an older Mac OS.)

However, I've used a simple and light midi router software in between TMFX and my controllers (+other software) for years already, as TMFX (and other mac apps) didn't remember virtual ports correctly even earlier on, at least when they’re not present on TMFX start.

I just save the routings to a preset file and start that preset automatically with mac OS login, so it's always open before I start TMFX. This way I don't have to choose the ports in TMFX each time. This might work for your problem too.. I'm not sure about the new Logic Pro, but maybe worth a try.

One good, free midi router that works with newer OS's is MidiPipe. (up to at least Mac OS 12 mentioned on their site)

Re: TotalMix FX 1.83 for Windows and Mac available

TM FX detects MIDI loops (like audio feedback) and disables the ports automatically. Means in Logic the input signal is also sent straight to the output...maybe this can be configured somewhere to stop...
