26.9 Menu Options

Deactivate Screensaver: When active (checked) any activated Windows screensaver will be

disabled temporarily.

Always on Top: When active (checked) the TotalMix window will always be on top of the Win-

dows desktop.

Note

: This function may result in problems with windows containing help text, as the TotalMix

window will even be on top of those windows, so the help text isn't readable.

Enable MIDI / OSC Control: Activates external MIDI control of the TotalMix mixer. In Mackie

Protocol mode the channels which are currently under MIDI control are indicated by a colour

change of the name field.

Submix linked to MIDI / OSC control (1-4). The 8-channel group follows the currently selected

feature for specific windows. The view will not change then.
