Yep. I don't even use the Babyface options I have now, and am proud to be supporting a company who is this active in their product related communications and evolutions!

Which RME device? Driver version? Firmware version?

not interested in osc but i want this update for the bugfixes!
how do i install this totalmix update?
i´m on windows 7 and if i doubleclick on the exe file, the already installed totalmix pops up and if i go to the device manager and try to update the drivers, it says i already have the latest...

Working great here, good job!

Please try it, didn't understand the question completely, maybe it is obsolete after you worked with it.

That indeed is my question.  Plugging mics into adjacent channels works up to a point, but not always.  For example, I may have some high quality pres like APIs on AN1 - AN4 for snare, kick and overhead mics.  My tom mics may be on a lesser quality pre/converter routed through the ADAT inputs.  Vocals may be in the middle of my drum channels on channels AN9-AN12.  In this case I would like to be able to rearrange the channels so that all my drums faders are together.

This is not critical, but it would be a nice feature and one that was asked for in the past.

For sure this feature might be a little confusing, but I can see when this could be useful, and I was kinda hoping for it too. For me it might be enough to be able to re-organize the 8 channels for the mackie and osc controllers only. (at first I thought the "M1" number meant that you could reassign any channel to mackie channel 1, 2 etc, but then I read that this was for the upcoming second controller support which is of course cool as well :-))

I'm using the TMFX without looking at the TMFX window, so it wouldn't really matter if the channels are set up differently on my controller and totalmix. (of course it would be more distinct to have them in same order) Anyway I just want to organize them the way I'm used to - so that the channels I use most are near me on the first faders to easily access them while playing.  And the ones I use most happen to be on the XLR-inputs on channels 9-12. (I still need to control the inputs 1-8 too)

But.. actually with LcXmu you CAN reorganize the mackie channels exactly the way you want. Maybe this is possible with osc templates as well, can someone tell?) I already did this with lcxmu and I'm happy. I have all the channels named in TMFX so I can quickly find them when needed.

No matter what, this is the update I've been waiting for. You just freed 8 (in and out) adat channels from my UFX for other use.

Good job!

Hi Matthias,

I can't connect TouchOSC to TM.  I successfully loaded the configuration file.  I also found the iPad's IP address and ports, and entered this info into the settings dialog box within TM.  So far so good.

The problem I have is the iPad does not appear to see TM.  You wrote "Now perform the same procedure on the iPad side, means within the TouchOSC app (under 'Connections' TotalMix FX is shown as 'Found Hosts'. After selecting it hit the 'TouchOSC' and the 'Done' button."  I see the "connections" panel in TouschOSC, but can't see anywhere that it has found TMFX as a host. Under Connections if I click "OSC not configured" I see a line that reads "Host" but it seems to be wanting me to manually enter an IP address.

You should not have to enter anything manually. Are the iPad and the computer connected to the same WiFi network?

I got it working on both my PC and mac laptop. The mac was more plug and play, while I had to fiddle with manual ip address on the PC and adjust the ports. It works like a charm now! Thanks for implementing this, it's quite extraordinary!

Hi Mats,

I am still having trouble with getting it to work on my PC.  Can you elaborate on how you fiddled with settings?

Thanks,

Dave

Sure, if my settings work for you

On the Ipad: Enable OSC Host, set it to my DAW's IP address (192.168.1.2), set the outgoing port to 7001, incoming to 9001. Note which IP address of the Ipad. Choose the TotalmixPad1 Layout.

In Windows: Start TouchOSC Bridge and make sure it's running in the background. Start Totalmix FX. Go to Options/Settings/OSC1. Adjust the incoming port to 7001, outgoing to 9001. Make sure the Host IP is set to the same value as the Ipad shows (in my case 192.168.1.4).

Now go to Options/Enable OSC Control.

Should do the trick.

TouchOSC Bridge is not needed at all. Please explain why you use this together with our template. TM FX talks OSC directly...

Thanks for your help, Mats and Eric.  I still can't get it to work.  I can see a connection is made as, when I enter the settings then click "enable OSC" In TMFX i see lights on TouchOSC come on.  The issue is this also has the effect of my computer completely locking up. Keyboard, mouse are useless.  I can also see that Total Mix locks up as my input meters, which previously were moving as I had some mics plugged in, suddenly freeze.  This happens every time.  Seems like this is a situation unique to my system as others seem to have no problem.

I am still just trying to connect through my home network. I will try setting up and hoc network later and see if I have any better luck.  This is frustrating as I am eager to work with TouchOSC and have been looking forward to having features like this.

Thanks, Mats.  I was doing everything you did but with no luck.

However, I did have some partial success.  I updated my network adapter drivers and that took care of the crashing problem.  I then took a close look at my firewall settings.  I know I had allowed access to TMFX previously so I had not though to look closely at my settings.  It turns out Windows firewall did have a rule allowing access of TMFX.  However, it also had three other rules, one of which allowed access and two that did not!  Why Microsoft would invent such a crazy system is a topic for another thread.  I cleaned up the rules, keeping just one that allows access.

So now I can make changes in TMFX and see them reflected on the iPad.  But, I can't get TMFX to react to changes I make on the iPad.  I will keep tweaking it and see what I can do.

Have I mentioned how much I hate this kind of crap?

Now that it works, it is quite a powerful tool!  Thanks, RME , for implementing this.  I wanted to provide feedback on my limited use thus far.

The only issues I see is that channel names are not reflected properly.  The names across the top are a strange combination of my inputs and outputs and don't line up with the correct channel.  For example, in "input" view the channel #1 name at top reads "FOH" (which is my *output* #1 name) and channel #2 reads "Tom 2" (which is 11 channels away in TM on input channel ADAT 2).  Similarly, in the channel strip view the track name is not correct.  Note that the correct channels are actually linked - fader action, mutes, solo etc. work correctly.  Just the names are incorrect.

Perhaps a related issue is that when selecting submixes a single touch will correctly select the desired submix (as seen clearly in TM), but it sometimes takes more than one touch for the submix name to be correctly listed in TouchOSC.

I am curious if other users have the same issue with channel names, or if there is yet one more quirk in my system that needs addressing.

Hi,

trying to use the firefaceUC OSC with Lemur. Lemur is receiving the TotalmixFX messages just fine. But Totalmix does not seem to handle the Lemur msgs. Could it be that TotalmixFX (b3) does not understand bundle oscout msgs yet

thanks a lot
Jens

would be awsome. thanks a lot!

I would think so, but we do not use nor support Android.

We are in contact with the guys from Lemur, so a fix should come within the next weeks.

As long as you have an iOS device within your network (and you have) download the free app 'Fing'. It is what we use ourselves - extremely useful, reliable and quick.

Thanks for supporting Lemur now! As soon I have time I will look into a template.

I wished we had the time to do the Lemur template like we did with TOSC, but upcoming Frankfurt Musikmesse is making it impossible. On the other hand, given the examples for TOSC (see pics in post 24 in this thread: http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=13115 ) plus the list of implemented commands (first post in this thread), it should be possible for an experienced user to copy those quickly. If we get a working and good template fast then we could try to implement the level meters before Frankfurt...

Hi Matthias,

Are you saying it is possible to have level meters using Lemur?  Is this also possible in TouchOSC?

Fantastic outcome With TMFX OSC control. All installed and working without any problem.

A few tips for getting an iPad to work with a Mac and any MIDI or OSC link for easy connectivity and stability:

. This is my stage set up for my 8 pce band.
. We are now using the iPad to control individual musican monitor mixes: wireless and wired ear buds, and stage foldback.
. MacBook Pro with UFX via USB driving all monitor mixes.
. Bluetooth turned off on both the MacBook and iPad
. Cellular Data turned off on the iPad
. From the WIFI drop down on the MacBook choose "create network". Give it a name. I also use WEP security to prevent the audience connecting to it (note to self - will look at advanced network options to see if I can disable SSID broadcast as well)
. Connect the iPad to the new network hosted by the MacBook.
. Be prepared to accept the "allow connection from network" dialog that may pop up on the MacBook when trying to connect. Alternatively, disable your firewall until you get the hang of it all.

From there follow the instructions for your particular software. Matthias' instructions for TotalmixFX and OSC work perfectly.

The setup above removes the need to have an additional WIFI router, and in any case makes it the most simple for playing with the technology while you're still trying to get everything working.

Matthias: where can we download your OSC template from? The Beta4 doesn't include any OSC templates.

If anyone has any OSC and/or Lemur templates I'd very much appreciate giving them a try / test if you are willing to share. Likewise I'll report / contribute back my results and developments.

Cheers
Brendan
