Unfortunately, very often it is not possible within the record software to assign a different input
channel to an existing track 'on the fly'. The loopback mode solves this problem elegantly. The
routing scheme stays the same, with the input channel 10 sent to any output via TotalMix, to the
Compressor, from the Compressor back to any input. Now this input signal is routed directly to
output 10, and output 10 is then switched into loopback mode via Ctrl-mouse.
As explained in chapter 30.5, the hardware input of channel 10 now no longer feeds the record
software, but is still connected to TotalMix (and thus to the Compressor). The record software
receives the signal of submix channel 10 instead – the Compressor's return path.
31. TotalMix MIDI Remote Control
31.1 Overview
TotalMix can be remote controlled via MIDI. It is compatible to the widely spread Mackie Control
protocol, so TotalMix can be controlled with all hardware controllers supporting this standard.
Examples are the Mackie Control, Tascam US-2400 or Behringer BCF 2000.
Additionally, the stereo output faders (lowest row) which are set up as Monitor Main outputs in
the Monitor panel can also be controlled by the standard Control Change Volume via MIDI
channel 1. With this, the main volume of the Multiface is controlable from nearly any MIDI
equipped hardware device.
