The UCX provides the complete effects engine from the UFX - all effects are available at all sample rates.

 

The DSP-based TotalMix mixer allows fully independent routing and mixing of all 18 input and playback channels 
to all 18 physical outputs. Up to 9 totally independent stereo submixes plus a comprehensive Control Room 
section offer unrivalled monitoring capabilities and unsurpassed routing flexibility.
And there is more: The latest generation of TotalMix delivers hardware mixing/routing with lots of new features 
and a highly improved usability. 
Every input and output channel comes with a luxury feature set, comparable to a full-scale digital console. The 
effects per channel include 3-band parametric EQ, adjustable Low Cut, Auto Level, Compressor, Expander, MS 
Processing and phase reversal. The Reverb and Echo effects unit is available for all channels by way of a stereo 
send and return bus. The UCX easily surpasses the competition by offering all these effects even at 192 kHz 
operation.
Two DSPs ensure an impressive performance even in extreme applications. As usual with RME, TotalMix is available 
with all channels at all sample rates, completely unlimited. The second dedicated DSP only renders effects, and 
therefore always has sufficient resources. For example, at 48 kHz 36 EQs, 36 Low Cuts, 26 Compressors and Echo 
can be activated. With activated Reverb and Echo still 36 EQs, 36 Low Cuts and 16 Compressors are available.
The FX-DSP uses automatic overload surveillance. As soon as no effect can be added anymore the TotalMix 
surface will clearly signal this condition. When changing to higher sample rates the UFX automatically deactivates 
all effects that exceed the DSP’s performance - the DSP will never be overloaded. This also prevents any possible 
damage to loudspeakers due to distortion.
The complete effects section not only adds a lot of flexibility to the recording chain, but makes latency burdened 
software  dispensable.  TotalMix  can  easily  replace  any  external  mixer,  e.  g.  to  create  different  latency-free 
monitoring mixes with EQ and Reverb for the main studio monitors and the headphone of the vocalist(s) in the 
recording room.
Furthermore, the DSP hardware calculates RMS and Peak levels for all 54 level meters, so there is zero CPU load 
on the host.
The main functions of TotalMix can be remote controlled via MIDI with any Mackie Control compatible controller.

Thanks to the multi-functional rotary encoder the UCX is not only a perfect desktop level controller for the main 
monitors  and  phones. The  integrated TotalMix  FX  high-end  mixer  provides  an  impressive  set  of  monitoring 
control features for modern Mix-In-the-Box studios or live mixing sessions. Among them Dim, source selection, 
monitor switching, integrated Talkback, a flexible CUE setup, Mute and Mute FX, Mono and much more.
Contrary to 3rd party external monitoring controllers, the built-in UCX solution preserves the original sound, as 
its hardware outputs stay directly connected to the studio monitors, avoiding another device with a possible 
signal alteration in the signal path.
The flexibility of RME’s DSP-driven TotalMix FX monitoring tool set is impressive: any physical output can be 
assigned to the directly knob-controlled monitor outputs (Main out, Speaker B, Phones 1, 2 ...). Just assign the 
SPDIF output as Speaker B or as Phones Out - any output can be used. The functions Talkback, Listenback, Mono 
and Dim will work automatically for the assigned outputs in the expected way. CUE mixes can be sent to a 
predefined output, an external input can be assigned and monitored with a simple click. Convenience for any 
studio or live situation at its best.
The optional 

Advanced Remote Control 

(ARC) provides one big wheel dial, a button for level storage/recall, and 

seven freely programmable buttons - 6 with LED -  for nearly all TotalMix FX functions. Just assign all frequently 
used TotalMix functions to these buttons. The remote control comes with a flexible, 5 m (16 ft.) long cable.

The ARC provides default settings for the 7 programmable buttons, but can be freely configured via the Key 
Commands  dialog  of  TotalMix  FX.  All  buttons  can  be  assigned  to  more  than  36  different  commands.  The 
behaviour of each individual button can be changed between push, toggle, enable and disable, depending on 
the base function.
