27.3 Setup
Open the Preferences dialog (menu Options or F3). Select the MIDI Input and MIDI Output port
where your controller is connected to.
When no feedback is needed select NONE as MIDI Output.
Check
Enable MIDI Control in the Options menu.
27.4 Operation
The channels being under Mackie MIDI control are indicated by a colour change of the name
field, black turns to brown.
The 8-fader block can be moved horizontally and vertically, in steps of one or eight channels.
Faders can be selected to gang them.
In Submix View mode, the current routing destination (output bus) can be selected via REC Ch.
1
– 8. This equals the selection of a different output channel in the lowest row by a mouse click
when in Submix View. In MIDI operation it is not necessary to jump to the lowest row to perform
this selection. This way even the routing can be easily changed via MIDI.
Full LC Display Support : This option in Preferences (F3) activates complete Mackie Control LCD
support with eight channel names and eight volume/pan values. When Full LC Display Support is
turned off, only a brief information about the first fader of the block (channel and row) is sent. This
brief information is also available on the LED display of the Behringer BCF2000.
Disable MIDI in Background (menu Options, Settings) disables the MIDI control as soon as an-
other application is in the focus, or in case TotalMix has been minimized. This way the hardware
controller will control the main DAW application only, except when TotalMix is in the foreground.
Often the DAW application can be set to become inactive in background too, so that MIDI control
is switched between TotalMix and the application automatically when switching between both
applications.
TotalMix also supports the 9th fader of the Mackie Control. This fader (labelled Master) will control
the stereo output faders (lowest row) which are set up as
Main Out in the Control Room section.
Extender support (Settings, tab MIDI) enables the use of the special Extender mixing desk, but
also the addition of any other Mackie compatible remote. Setting the main remote as number 2
and the extender as number 1 will cause the extender to be on the left side. Using this function
the remotes will be shown as one fader block and navigate as one.
