32. MIDI Remote Control
32.1 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 Fireface is controllable from nearly any MIDI 
equipped hardware device.
