Remote Control Software - RME Audio M-16 DA User Manual

The block diagram shows the signal
flow in a HDSP MADI-based remote
control system. MIDI commands from
a software on PC or Mac travel from
the MADI Out of the HDSP MADI to
the MADI In as well as to the MIDI
Out and MADI Out of the M-32 DA.
Additional to the remote commands
further MIDI data can be transmitted,
available then at the DIN MIDI output
jack of the M-32 DA. However, MIDI
signals at the DIN input jack can not
travel back to the computer. With
input setting MIDI the other direction
is active. MIDI data travel from the
MADI out to the computer, but not
back from the computer via MADI to
the M-32 DA.

9.3 Remote Control Software

A free remote software fro Windows and Mac OS X can be downloaded from the RME website.
It can use any existing MIDI port within the system to perform remote control and status re-
quests of any number of M-series converters via a simple mouse click. Most appealing is the
combination with a HDSP(e) MADI, offering a direct control of the M-32 DA via MADI. The re-
mote control software then uses a virtual MIDI port of the card, which directly sends and re-
ceives MIDI data via MADI.

Brief description of the Windows/Mac OS X Software ADI-8 QS MIDI Remote
The unique multi-window concept of the software MIDI Remote allows for a simultaneous
usage and configuration not only of multiple M-32 DAs, but also of all other supported devices,
even in mixed setups. The function M-32 DA has been extended compared to the unit. Settings
not available at the unit's front can be controlled, the gain reduction is shown on separate
meters etc. Names can be assigned to all channels and all devices.
The program includes an extensive english online help (F1). After the start first choose the func-
tion M-32 DA in the menu Functions (also available via F4).
Then select a MIDI input and output via Options - MIDI I/O Setup.
Using the command Options – Start/Stop MIDI I/O the communication with the M-32 DA is
started. The top line of the program window shows the current state, like selected ID, Online /
No Response / Offline etc.
Save Workspace as allows to store complete setups including all windows in a file, and to re-
load them at any time.
Send Single Set of Data realizes an offline configuration of the M-32 DA, and uses a single
one-time transmission of all settings.
