23.1 General
Using the rotary encoder, the four buttons and the clear colour display the Fireface UCX II can
be configured and set up completely at the device. Additionally internal memory allows for the
permanent storage of six different states of the unit. Therefore the Fireface UCX II is able to
operate fully stand-alone, without any connected computer. In stand-alone operation it can trans-
form into totally different devices by the simple click of a button. Furthermore TotalMix FX, and
with this the application examples shown below, can also be controlled via MIDI, see chapter
