The RME OctaMic XTC is a highly flexible
hi-quality 8-channel microphone, line and
instrument preamp with integrated AD-
conversion to ADAT, AES/EBU and MADI,
plus 4 channels of DA-conversion for moni-
toring. It can be used as universal front-end
for the HDSPe RayDAT and other interfaces.
To simplify operation the most important
parameters of the XTC (gain, 48V, Inst/PAD,
AutoSet) can be controlled directly from the
TotalMix FX input channels. This special
remote control uses MIDI of any format
(DIN, USB, MIDI over MADI).
Device Settings

Digital Channels. Select where the
OctaMic XTC sends its 8 analog chan-
nels to. With the Digiface USB this will
be any of the four ADAT banks.

XTC is supported and can be chosen.

The screenshot to the right shows what happens as
soon as the above settings have been confirmed
with OK. The chosen ADAT channels show new
elements for phantom power, Inst/PAD, Gain and
AutoSet. Control operates bidirectional, so changing
the gain at the unit will be mirrored in the TotalMix
channels. Changing the gain in TotalMix FX will set
the gain in the unit, which is also shown on the
unit’s display.
For the remote to work the XTC’s currently used
MIDI I/Os have to be set to
Control . More details
are found in the manual of the OctaMic XTC.
