The RME OctaMic XTC is a highly flexible
hi-quality 8-channel microphone, line and in-
strument 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 Digiface Ravenna and other inter-
faces.
To simplify operation the most important pa-
rameters of the XTC (gain, 48V, phase,
mute, AutoSet) can be controlled directly
from the TotalMix FX input channels. This
special remote control uses MIDI of any for-
mat (DIN, USB, MIDI over MADI). A remote
control via RAVENNA is not supported.
Device Settings

Digital Channels. Select where the Oc-
taMic XTC sends its 8 analog channels
to. With the Digiface Ravenna these are
the 8-channel MADI blocks 65-128.

Device. At this time only the OctaMic
XTC is supported and can be chosen.
MIDI Settings

MIDI In. Set the currently used MIDI connection to the OctaMic XTC.

MIDI Out. Set the currently used MIDI connection to the OctaMic XTC.

Device ID. Default 0. This setting relates to the current choice in Digital Channels.
When using more than one OctaMic XTC these must have different Device IDs (configuration is
done at the OctaMic XTC).
Aux Devices supports to set different Device IDs to the 8-channel
blocks as well. Storing the setting is done automatically when selecting a Device ID. To check the
current assignments toggle the two 8-channel blocks.
The screenshot to the right shows what happens as
soon as the above settings have been confirmed with
OK. The MADI 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.
