28.5 MIDI Control
The hardware output which is set up as
Main Out
can be controlled by the standard
Control
Change Volume
via
MIDI channel 1
. With this, the main volume of the MADIface XT is control-
lable from nearly any MIDI equipped hardware device.
Even if you don't want to control all faders and pans, some buttons are highly desired to be
available in 'hardware'. These are mainly the
Talkback
and the
Dim
button, and the monitoring
option
Cue
(listen to Phones submixes). Fortunately a Mackie Control compatible controller is
not required to control these buttons, as they are steered by simple Note On/Off commands on
MIDI channel 1.
The notes are (hex / decimal / keys):

Note: Switching off Mackie Protocol support in
Settings / Mackie Control Options
will also dis-
able the above simple MIDI note commands, as they are part of the Mackie protocol.
Furthermore all faders of all three rows can be controlled via simple
Control Change
com-
mands. The format for the Control Change commands is:
Bx yy zz
x = MIDI channel
yy = control number
zz = value
The first row in TotalMix is addressed by MIDI channels 1 up to 4, the middle row by channels 5
up to 8 and the bottom row by channels 9 up to 12.
16 Controller numbers are used: 102 up to 117 (= hex 66 to 75). With these 16 Controllers (=
faders) and 4 MIDI channels each per row, up to 64 faders can be controlled per row.
