12.3 Remote Control Software
A free remote software for 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 supported RME units via a simple mouse click. Most appealing is the
combination with a HDSP(e) MADI, offering a direct control of the ADI-6432 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.

the signal flow in a MADI
remote controlled system.
MIDI commands from a
software on PC or Mac
travel via MADI to the MIDI
Out of the ADI-6432. At the
same time they reach the
6432's CPU. The MIDI sig-
nals of external devices
travel via MIDI In and MADI
Out back to the software,
together with the request
responses of the CPU.
