28.3 Setup


• Open the Preferences dialog (menu Options or F3). Select the MIDI Input and MIDI Output

port where your controller is connected to.


• When no feedback is needed (when using only standard MIDI commands instead of Mackie

Control protocol) select NONE as MIDI Output.


• Check

Enable MIDI Control in the Options menu.


28.4 Operation


The channels being under MIDI control are indicated by a colour change of the info field below
the faders, black turns to yellow.

The 8-fader block can be moved horizontally and vertically, in steps of one or eight channels.

Faders can be selected to gang them.

In Submix View mode, the current routing destination (output bus) can be selected via REC Ch.
1 – 8. This equals the selection of a different output channel in the lowest row by a mouse click
when in Submix View. In MIDI operation it is not necessary to jump to the lowest row to perform
this selection. This way even the routing can be easily changed via MIDI.

Full LC Display Support: This option in Preferences (F3) activates complete Mackie Control
LCD support with eight channel names and eight volume/pan values.


Attention: this feature causes heavy traffic on the MIDI port when ganging more than 2
faders! In such a case, or when using the Behringer BCF2000, turn off this option.

When Full LC Display Support is turned off, only a brief information about the first fader of the
block (channel and row) is sent. This brief information is also available on the LED display of
the Behringer BCF2000.

Deactivate MIDI in Background (menu Options) disables the MIDI control as soon as another
application is in the focus, or in case TotalMix has been minimized. This way the hardware con-
troller will control the main DAW application only, except when TotalMix is in the foreground.
Often the DAW application can be set to become inactive in background too, so that MIDI con-
trol is switched between TotalMix and the application automatically when switching between
both applications.

TotalMix also supports the 9th fader of the Mackie Control. This fader (labelled Master) will con-
trol the stereo output faders (lowest row) which are set up as Main Monitor outputs in the Moni-
tor panel.
