Direct MIDI Connection Between X AIR Mixer and X-TOUCH Control Surface
Steps: Preparation
4 a
Make sure your X AIR Mixer is switched on
b Connect any X AIR remote control application with your Mixer as usual
c Open the Setup/Audio-MIDI page, make sure that all MIDI Tx and Rx ags are o
Connect mixer MIDI In to X-TOUCH MIDI Out, and connect mixer MIDI out to the X-TOUCH MIDI In,
d
using 2 standard MIDI cables
5 a
Hold down the CH01 Select button for more than 2 seconds while switching the X-TOUCH power on
b The CH01 display will show one of the operating modes as described in the table "Operating Modes" above
c Use the CH01 rotary encoder to select the mode "Xctl"
6 a Then use the CH02 encoder to choose the interface "Ifc" between MIDI and Network. Select "MIDI" here
Press the CH01 Select button again, and the X-TOUCH will be updated with the mixer parameters,
b
indicating that it is properly connected with the mixer
Direct Ethernet Connection Between X AIR Mixer and X-TOUCH Control Surface
Steps: X-TOUCH Network Setup
4 a
Hold down the CH01 Select button for more than 2 seconds while switching the X-TOUCH power on
b The CH01 display will show one of the operating modes as described in the "Operating Modes" table above
c Use the CH01 rotary encoder to select the mode "Xctl"
Then use the CH02 encoder to choose the interface "Ifc" between
d
MIDI and Network. Select "Network"
5 a
Use the CH03 encoder to specify the network mode "DHCP"
X-TOUCH can register on a network in two di erent modes:
> DHCP = ON (default), automatically detects/assigns an IP address
b
> DHCP = OFF, requires manual setup of "my IP" address
(only choose OFF, if you have a preferred valid IP for X-TOUCH in your network)
c Use the CH03 encoder to specify an IP address of the preferred mixer you wish to control, select "Slv IP"
d Enter/modify the slave IP by turning the CH04...CH07 encoders
6 a
The LCD display contrast can be adjusted using the CH08 encoder
7 a When the above settings are correct, press the CH01 Select button
b The CH01 Select LED will turn o and the channel LCD displays will turn black for some time
Then the CH01-Ch03 displays will indicate:
c > the X-TOUCH IP address on the rst line, and
> the Mixer IP address on the second line
If the second line does not show a valid Mixer IP address, you may press the CH08 rotary encoder to
d
"Scan" for another mixer
e Wait for a little while, until the channel LCDs and fader positions are updated with the actual mixer settings
8 a
Now, your X-TOUCH control surface is connected with the mixer
b You may use all the controls as described in the XCTL Mode overview shown later in this document
The next time X-TOUCH is started, it will automatically attempt to connect to the mixer with the speci ed
c
Slv IP address again. If it does not connect automatically, go back to step 7d
