Topic: Babyface: controlling ADAT level by wheel

Hi,

Using a Babyface with driver 1.59, Totalmix FX 0.942 and firmware 184 on Mac OS X 10.6.7.

I must be doing something dumb but I can't get the wheel on the Babyface to control the level of ADAT output 1-2 which is my main output for monitoring.

If I understand the Help correctly the following should work:
- Go to TotalMix FX
- In the Control Room channel strip Assign (dropdown) the main out to AS 1/2.
- Set the Babyface to 'Out' (LED) using 'Select' (button).

However, whatever I do, the wheel keeps controlling AN 1/2 in this mode or PH 3/4 in Phones mode.

Using AS 1/2 as the phones output also doesn't help.

It must be something silly, but how do I control ADAT 1-2 from the Babyface panel?

Kind regards,
Jorg Schellekens

Re: Babyface: controlling ADAT level by wheel

Sorry, both modes are linked to the analog outputs. You can't control AS1/2 directly with the encoder. A workaround could be a link between the AS1/2 fader and AN1/2 or PH3/4 in TotalMix.

best regards

Thanks for your reply.

The workaround does the job, so that's good.

Do you think there's a chance of directly controlling the AS 1/2 with the wheel/encoder in future versions of the software?
It does seem a bit strange that setting ADAT 1/2 as the main output gives it less features than an analogue output has.

kind regards,
Jorg

Re: Babyface: controlling ADAT level by wheel

This is not software but firmware, and does not adress the typical usage of the BF. Therefore we wil not add it, sorry.
