User's Guide Fireface UFX © RME

The input signal will pass through all activated functions of the TM FX input channel, namely

settings, EQ, and Dynamics, and is then sent to the iPhone/iPad. Like under Windows and Mac,

the input fader setting controls direct monitoring to the specified outputs. The FX send control

for echo/reverb is also active.

As in normal TotalMix FX use, the options Stereo Width, MS Proc and Phase L/R are NOT

within the recording path, but in the monitor path. This is technically determined and can not

be changed.

The iPhone/iPad output signal passes through all activated functions of the TM FX hardware

outputs, namely settings, EQ, and dynamics. The third row’s fader sets the output level.

Control Room Section settings are inactive. Configuring the Phones output is done by

output channel 9/10 and 11/12.

With the mirroring of signals to AES and ADAT outputs in Phones mode, the UFX features two

simultaneously usable digital outputs, with independent processing (volume, EQ, Dyn, FX Re-

turn), even when using standard 2-channel apps.

Details on the routing presets for playback of apps running on the iPhone/iPad:

Phones

: The iPhone/iPad playback channels 1/2 are copied to the phones outputs 9/10, 11/12,

AES and ADAT MAIN, channels 3 to 8 to ADAT outputs 3 to 8. ADAT AUX Out mirrors the out-

puts Analog 1 to 8 in Single Speed, or operates as optical SPDIF output for Analog 1/2. Applica-

tion example iTunes: Music playback with this 2-channel app happens only on the playback

channels 1/2, therefore the headphones could not be used. Thanks to the Phones routing the

iTunes signal is also available digitally via AES/ADAT.

22 Ch.

: 1:1 routing of all 22 playback channels. Application example djay: independent usage of

main output and phones/PFL. The routing Phones would provide only the main signal at the

phones output. 22 Ch. is a typical DAW mode.

Both modes can be activated at any time and do not influence the mixer state loaded via the

Setups, as they only influence the playback routing. The current routing can easily be checked

and verified with the level meter display.

35. Setups

TotalMix FX can transfer all current settings to the device (Options/Store Current State into

Device). There are six memory slots (Setups) available. An example:

¾ Inputs with no processing, gain set to +30 dB and phantom power active. Outputs without

processing, faders for 1/2 set to 0 dB, 9/10 at – 20 dB, clock mode master, saved in Setup 1.

¾ Inputs with Compressor, Factory Preset Mix Limiter (digital overload protection), gain set to

+30 dB, no phantom power, outputs 1/2 with EQ (factory preset Modern Bass Treble),

outputs 9/10 with EQ (factory preset Cheap Phones Compensation), faders for 1/2 at 0 dB,

9/10 at -20dB, clock mode AutoSync, saved in Setup 2.

Via the menu SETUP/REV, Setup, one can switch between setups 1 and 2 at any time, alternat-

ing between entirely different configurations. Further examples would be activating reverb/echo,

or temporary monitoring of the input signal. Very comfortable is the use of the Advanced Re-

mote, as in CC mode its 6 upper buttons steer the Setups 1 to 6 directly

On the iPad the optional app TotalMix FX for iPad gives full control of all functions and parame-

ters in real-time and with full overview, similar to working under Windows and Mac.
