While the setup is simplified (no panorama available) it is still very efficient and will address
most needs. Also a different input can be mixed onto the same output.
Of the eight ADAT channels only channels 1/2 can be controlled from the Babyface Pro.
All settings are stored within the unit and do not get lost until the next time stand-alone
mode is used.
32. Operation at the Unit
Operation at the unit is very similar to the one under Windows and OS X, with some additions.
These were done as intuitive and easy to remember as possible.
Changing between normal and CC mode
When connected to a Windows or Mac computer, the USB data connection prevents switching
the mode. In such a case it is possible only during power-up to be able to revert from CC to
normal mode:
Hold down the keys
SELECT
and
DIM
while inserting the USB cable. During the boot process
the level meters show CC for about 2 seconds, confirming the CC mode has been activated.
The Babyface Pro stays in CC mode until this procedure has been performed again, it will then
show PC.
When not connected to a Windows or Mac computer, the mode can be changed any time.
Therefore, with USB bus power (via LiPo battery) or when connected to an external power sup-
ply: Hold down the keys
SELECT
and
DIM
for two seconds. The level meters will show the new
mode, either PC or CC. Hold them down again to change back.
CC mode is shown on every boot of the unit. PC mode is shown only during the switching proc-
ess.
DIM
Select Ch 1/2, Phones or Opt via OUT, then push the DIM button. DIM can be used on any of
the three outputs, and applies a fixed attenuation of 20 dB.
48V Phantom power on/off
Use
IN
to select Ch 1/2. Use
SELECT
to choose left, right or both channels. A push on
SET
will
activate Phantom power and turn on the orange LED labeled P48.
Copy Mode (Playback Output Routing for iOS)
A stereo playback of iPad/iPhone defaults to output channels 1/2. To hear the audio also at the
Phones output, or even at the SPDIF/ADAT output, the Babyface includes an optional Copy
mode, where the playback signal of channels 1/2 is copied to outputs 3/4 and channels 1/2 of
SPDIF/ADAT.
Use
OUT
to select OUTPUT Ch 1/2. Push
SET
. The current state of the Copy mode is shown
by the three OUTPUT state LEDs:
¾ Only Ch 1/2 lit: Copy Mode not active
¾ Ch 1/2, Phones and Opt lit: Copy mode active.
Use
SELECT
to turn Copy mode on and off.
Copy mode is not available when TotalMix FX for iPad is detected by the Babyface Pro.
