MIDI Controller
MIDI Input: Input where TotalMix receives MIDI Remote data.
MIDI Output: Output where TotalMix sends MIDI Remote data.
Mackie Control Options
Enable Protocol Support: When disabled TM FX will only react on the Control Change com-
mands of chapter 28.5.
Enable full LCD support: Activates full Mackie Control LCD support with eight channel names
and eight volume/pan values.
Send Level Messages: Activates the transmission of the level meter data.
Stereo Pan Law
The Pan Law can be set to -6 dB, -4.5 dB, -3 dB and 0 dB. The value chosen defines the level
attenuation in pan center position. This setting is useful because the ASIO host often supports
different pan laws too. Selecting the same value here and in the ASIO host, ASIO Direct Moni-
toring works perfectly, as both ASIO host and TotalMix use the same pan law. Of course, when
not using ADM it can be changed to a setting different from the factory preset of –6 dB as well.
You will most probably find that -3 dB gives a much more stable loudness when moving an ob-
ject between left and right.
29.11 Editing the Names
The channel names shown in the grey label area can be
edited. A right mouse click on the grey name field brings up
the dialog box Enter Name. Any name can be entered in this
dialog. Enter/Return closes the dialog box, the grey label now
shows the first letters of the new name. ESC cancels the
process and closes the dialog box.
Moving the mouse above the label
brings up a tool tip with the complete
name.
The hardware outputs
(third row) can be
edited in the same
way. In this case, the
names in the routing drop down menus will change
automatically. Additionally the names in the drop down
menus of the Monitor section will change as well.
The preset buttons can get
meaningful names in the same way.
Move the mouse over a preset button,
a right mouse click will bring up the
dialog box.
Note that the name shows up as tool
tip only, as soon as the mouse stays
over the preset button.
The preset button names are not stored in the preset files, but globally in the registry, so won't
change when loading any file or saving any state as preset. But loading a preset bank (see
chapter 29.8) the names will be updated.
