Programmable USB Remote Control unit for TotalMix FX, direct connect to Fireface UFX+, Fireface UFX II. This wired remote has been designed for direct access to the most frequently used actions and commands of TotalMix FX, being an indispensable tool in the studio's daily applications. Its extremely flexible configuration through TotalMix FX will simplify workflow and greatly increase the usability of the RME interface in most real world situations. The ARC USB is a USB 1.1 (UAC1) MIDI remote control, natively compatible to Windows and Mac OS X. As soon as it is present in the operating system TotalMix FX will detect it and communicate with it, without disturbing other remote controls. Therefore it is also not necessary to switch the ARC USB on or off within TotalMix FX - it will just work. ARC USB and UFX+ / UFX II in Stand-Alone Mode In stand-alone mode of Fireface UFX+ / UFX II a fixed set of functions is activated on the keys: Row 1: Setup 1-4 Row 2: Setup 5-6 x x Row 3: Mono, Volume Phones 1, Volume Phones 2, DIM Lower keys: DURec: Rec, Play/Pause, Stop x = no function The included stickers also offer the stand-alone layout. In the UFX+ / UFX II display’s menu the way of operating the ARC USB can be configured for stand-alone mode. Those options are found under SETUP/REV, Options, Hardware/Diagnosis: Deactivates all keys. Only the encoder wheel works, with a fixed assignment to Main Volume. This option is also a safety function in case the ARC USB is connected to the UFX+ / UFX II, but oper-ated online (with computer). When the system goes offline (computer removed, sleep state…) the functions on the keys change, because online mode changed to stand-alone mode. Operating the keys then could activate unintended functionality or changes. Each key has to be pressed for one second to activate the programmed functionality. This safety function prevents unintentional changes. It can be stored within the Setups, activating this mode automatically when such a Setup is loaded. When loading a Setup where this function had not been active this mode is automatically deactivated at the UFX+ / UFX II.
