28.3 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.
28.4 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
another application is in the focus, or in case TotalMix has been minimized. This way the hard-
ware controller will control the main DAW application only, except when TotalMix is in the fore-
ground. 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 con-
trol the stereo output faders (lowest row) which are set up as
Main Out
in the Control Room
section.
