MIDI remote control data...

nothing, just power on, on my video. It come back from after sales service French SCV Hitech.
No software, no laptop, no MIDI connections, just power on with power supply.Check the youtube link in my previous email

Thx

oK THX, But why the unit sends out MIDI remote commands like volume in stand alone??? what is the utilility if i use just the AUDIO I/O and not the MIDI I/O of the unit. I don't understand

Stand-alone remote control via a MIDI hardware controller. Needs of course MIDI commands. Otherwise the motor fader don't reflect the settings on the unit.

best regards

There is nothing to explain. Just ignore it.

The knob doesn't know whether anything is connected to the MIDI output, does it...? HeadScratch

The MIDI data is sent all the time. If you connect a controller, then it works. If you don't connect a controller, it doesn't go anywhere. The UC has no way to determine whether you connected the controller or not.

The LED or "idiot light" is flashing to tell you that your unit is working properly :-)

Fireface UC manual:

29.7 Stand-Alone MIDI Control

When not connected to a computer, the Fireface UC can be controlled directly via MIDI. To
unlock the special stand-alone MIDI control mode first activate MIDI control in TotalMix (menu
Options, Enable MIDI Control). Turning this mode off is done with MIDI control deactivated.
Note: When not needed the stand-alone MIDI operation  should not be active, as the unit will
react on MIDI notes after power-on, and will also send MIDI notes.

Control is performed via the Mackie Control protocol. In stand-alone mode not all functions
known from TotalMix are available. Functions like Talkback, DIM, Mono, Solo, relative ganging
of the faders, Monitor Main and Monitor Phones are realized by complex software code, and not
present within the hardware.

Still many functions, and especially the most important functions to control the Fireface UC, are
implemented in hardware, thus available also in stand-alone mode:

• All faders and pans of the first and third row
• Mute of the input signal per channel
• Ganging via 'Select'
• Choice of the routing destination, i.e. the current submix
• Sending of LED and display data to the MIDI controller

The second row (software playback) is skipped in stand-alone operation. The Fireface UC
sends display data as brief information,  enabling an easy navigation through lines and rows.
Other data like PAN and miscellaneous status LEDs are supported as well.

In stand-alone mode the unit always operates in View Submix mode. Only this way the routing
destination can be changed, and several mixdowns/submixes can be set up quickly and easily.
Note: After power-on the Fireface UC does not update the connected MIDI controller. Therefore
the controller’s faders will not be set to the values stored within the unit.

Uncheck "Enable MIDI control" in the TotalMix menu.
