23. Operation and Usage 
23.1 General 
The Fireface 802 has internal memory for the permanent storage of six different states of the 
unit, which can be recalled via the optional Advanced Remote Control, ARC. This way the Fire-
face 802 is able to operate without any connected computer. In stand-alone operation it can 
transform into totally different devices by the simple click of a button. Furthermore TotalMix, and 
with this the application examples shown below, can also be controlled via MIDI, see chapter 
28.6, Stand-Alone MIDI Control. 
23.2 Settings at the Unit 
The front panel operation is identical to the one under Windows and OS X. It is limited to the 
direct access on Gains and Volume, and the functions enabled by the ARC. 
In stand-alone mode the ARC has a fixed setup with the following functions: 
Turn Encoder    controls Main Out Volume 
Push Encoder    DIM for Main Out 
Key Recall      Recall function for Main Out 
Key Prog  No function 
Keys A to F      Loads the Setups 1 to 6 stored in the interface 
23.3 Storing Setups from the Computer 
Setups can be loaded from the computer into the interface. In TotalMix FX use Options / Store 
current state into device to select the desired storage place (Setup) within the unit. Loading the 
Setups in stand-alone mode is done with the optional Advanced Remote Control or the corre-
sponding MIDI notes.
