USB User Manual

User's Guide Advanced Remote Control USB © RME

Several functions can be activated at the same time. Example: Button 1 is set to Cue Phones

1. That means the phones submix is heard via the Main output (the studio monitors). To be able

to also change the volume of the phones submix itself, set button 2 to Volume Phones 1. Acti-

vating both will allow you to listen to the phones submix via the main output, and also to change

its volume (the fader in the third row) by turning the encoder knob.

A standard footswitch (with switch, sustain pedals with pot are not supported) can be con-

nected to the 1/4" TS jack on the right side. In Key Commands Settings the same options are

available for the footswitch as for the 15 keys. Both momentary switches (normally open and

closed) as well as stationary switches can be used. For the latter simply select Push instead of

the default Toggle from the dropdown menu beside the switch function setting.

8. ARC USB and UFX+ / UFX II in Stand-Alone Mode

In stand-alone mode of Fireface UFX+ and UFX II a fixed set of functions is activated on the

keys:

Row 1: Setup 1-4

Row 2: Setup 5-6, Play - Next File*, Play - Previous File*

Row 3: Mono, Volume Phones 1, Volume Phones 2, DIM

The three lower keys control DURec: Record Start, Play Start/Pause, Record/Play Stop.

* DURec with TotalMix FX 1.43 and matching firmware update of UFX + / UFX II.

Note

: To stop a recording the DIM/Stop button has to be pushed two times (safety feature).

The included stickers also offer the stand-alone layout.

In the display’s menu of these devices the way of operating the ARC USB can be configured for

stand-alone mode. Those options are found under SETUP/REV, Options, Hardware/Diagnosis:

Standalone ARC Volume

Deactivates all keys. Only the encoder wheel works, with a fixed assignment to Main Volume.

This option is also a safety function in case the ARC USB is connected to the UFX+ / UFX II,

but operated online (with computer). When the system goes offline (computer removed, sleep

state…) the functions on the keys change, because online mode changed to stand-alone mode.

Operating the keys then could activate unintended functionality or changes.

Standalone ARC 1 s op

Each key has to be pressed for one second to activate the programmed functionality. This

safety function prevents unintentional changes. It can be stored within the Setups, activating

this mode automatically when such a Setup is loaded. When loading a Setup where this func-

tion had not been active this mode is automatically deactivated at the UFX+ / UFX II.
