I changed MIDI out to that controller as well, but I can?t see any new block (panel?) that appears where I can select the submix. Please give me a hint.

Okay, after I enable "Submixes linked to midi control" it worked like you mention. But how can I control the level of playback for all submixes. Disable  "Submixes linked to midi control" did not help.

Also I like to control the input of two submixes, e.g. Output AN1/2 from input AN1/2+3/4 (2 midi faders) and Output AN3/4 from Input 5/6+7/8 (2 midi faders)

Is that possible? Or is MIDI Input+Playback always link to one output (submix). To control the Input +Playback level for all submixes would be fine for me as well.

B.t.w., thanks for you incredible fast response!!!

Some things are still not easy to understand with that topic. I am sure it is so because of all the features you can use...

I have still the following issue:

I setup submix 1. e.g. SW-Playback 1/2 to HW-Output 1/2 and  2. e.g. SW-Playback 3/4 to HW-Output 3/4.
Set the 8 channel block is under midi control.
Enable trim gain via note 45.

I can control now SW-Playback 1/2 via chan5/102 and 3/4 via chan5/104, but when I move the fader to zero, the fader stops working and stay at zero.

If I don?t move the fader and leave the midi control (midi output to none) it is the same. Enable trim gain via note 45 even without display work, but either for the single submix or trim gain until fader is down as well.

How to continuous trim gain 0-100% with midi contol without loosing control (after set fader to zero, it stops working)?
How does the function: "Submix linked to midi control" work?

Thanks

I am using driver 0.961 and totalmixfx 0.915.

My Controller is an ICon (www.icon-global.com) I-Controls V1.01. They have a little Windows tool, called I-Map where you can setup the USB Midi-Device. Also Mackie Control is possible.

So to make the trim-gain issue (if it is one?) more easy to understand. Here are my steps.

1.) Exit TotalMix FX
2.) I reset Total Mix FX to defaults (delete AppData\Local\TotalMixFX\*.xml)
3.) Start TotlaMix FX, Set MIDI-in to ICons Controller, Enable MIDI Control.
4.) I can now control the inputs of the default submix Out AN1/2, e.g. chan 1, 102 = AN1. I can move the fader from 0-100% without any issue.
5.) I set the fader, chan 1, 102 = AN1 to 100%, then I setup a button on the I-Controls to chan 1, 45 for the trim-gain function.
6.) I enable trim gain with that button (even if I can?t see it, it work!)
7.) Now I move the fader from AN1 from 100% to any other value via midi without any problem, except 0%. Whenever I reached 0% the fader stops moving at all --> the current issue!
8.) If I disable trim gain by 45 again, I can move the fader as before. Enable trim gain agin works again until 0% is reached.

I hope my explanation is understandable.

To understand my requirements better and maybe to have another better idea for the setup. Here it is:

I am one of two DJ?s which working always togehter. We are using 2 PC?s. One for DJ, one for VJ. RME Babyface (hope i come next week) will be for the DJ-Set, 3 chan musicsoftware, 1 chan microphone (Echo etc.). The babyface will go via adat to fireface input. fireface drive also max.9 chan musicsoftware. The 3 Stereo outputs of fireface will go to one analog mixer (the mixer is mainly for plan B, and EQ settings, due to RME not support this via MIDI yet.)

Now I need to control via the I-Control MIDI 3 submixes which are the 3 Stereo outputs of fireface. That mean, I need to control the 8 Hardware Inputs (ADAT from DJ-Set) and all Software Inputs of the Fireface UC.

I understand during your support that it is not possible to control the inputs of 3 submixes via MIDI. Now I see light at the end of the tunnel to use Trim gain for it. That is possible for me, because there is only a 1:1 link between input and submix.

I am open to any new idea!

Thanks
Sascha

okay, this is a missunderstandig. I need e.g. one fader at my midi control for ADAT chan1 in, one for SW playpack 1 etc. So if I trim gain of SW playpack 1 it will effect e.g. only Stereo output 1. This because the input is only linked to one output. So trim gain is what helps me.

The group feature would be one fader, several moving of other faders. This could be used as Master, but not for my requirement, right?

Thanks
Sascha

And we found indeed two issues that could explain your problems. Please set a MIDI Out port so that the unit is in Mackie mode, everything should work then. Update coming...

Sorry, I didn?t see your message from 08:00.

Trim-Gain will work, I saw it until the faders reach 0%.

Fader One attached to SW-Playback 1/2 which is submixed to HW-Output 1/2.
Fader Two attached to SW-Playback 3/4 which is submixed to HW-Output 3/4.

So I really control the SW-Playback 1/2 by one fader to a different output (1/2) than the other fader of SW-Playback 3/4 (3/4).

Without trim gain the the faders attached to SW-Playback will only affect on the same output (submix).

I did not need to attach one input to two outputs like you mention with "SW-Playback 1/2 to HW-Output 1/2 and  2. e.g. SW-Playback 1/2 to HW-Output 3/4". As I mention 1:1 or N:1 link.

Maybe this makes it more clear:
At the end I will have e.g. SW-Playback 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 controlled by 3 faders to out1/2 and
SW-Playback 7/8, SPDIF, ADAT1, ADAT2 controlled by 4 faders to out 3/4

Out 1/2 go analog to one channel of a DJ mixer, out 3/4 go to another channel of a DJ mixer.

I am sorry that we need some time to have a common understanding. I am not really a studio-expert, so my thinking might be different.

Please tell me if this is clear now or if you have further questions.

Are the necessary fixes included in the beta 0.922?
