1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the RME Advanced Remote Control. This wired remote has been de-

signed for direct access to the most frequently used actions and commands required in a stu-

dio’s daily work. Its extremely flexible configuration through TotalMix FX will simplify workflow

and greatly increase the usability of the RME interface in any real world situation.

2. Package Contents

3. System Requirements

The Advanced Remote Control (ARC) can be used with all RME Fireface UCX. It can also be

used with all RME Fireface UFX with a serial number 23241707 (built after June 2011) or

higher. Upcoming interfaces that feature an Advanced Remote Control connector will also be

compatible.

Users that own a Fireface UFX with a serial number below 23241707 have to send their UFX to

their distributor as it requires a hardware modification to be fully compatible to the Advanced

Remote Control. This modification is not free of charge.

6. Overview

The top of the Advanced Remote Control features a rotary encoder with push switch function, 2

lower buttons, and 6 upper buttons with Status LED.

The rotary encoder is used to change various parameters, like gain and volume. The left but-

ton Prog is programmable, and can perform several functions. The same is true for the upper 6

buttons, which also include a status LED to signal the current state.

The default setting is printed on the unit:

Button Function

A Talkback

B Mono

C Mute

D Phones 1

E Phones 2

F Ext. Input

The Prog button’s default function is Speaker B.

The button Recall is used to store and load a

specific listening volume for the Main Out defined

in TotalMix FX. Pushing the knob for 2 seconds

stores the current setting. If the volume (output

level) was changed a quick hit on Recall will

restore the former value.

The ARC needs very little power, which is provided

by the main interface through the attached cable.

7. Hardware Installation

The Advanced Remote Control has a 9-pin Mini-DIN connector at the end of its 5 m long cable.

Plug this connector into the corresponding jack, labelled REMOTE, on the back of the UFX or

UCX.

Do not try to blindly insert the connector by turning and pressing it into the unit’s jack. This

will most likely cause at least one pin of the connector to be bent, so that the connector

either can no longer be inserted or the remote is not fully functional!

Make sure to locate the position of the orientation mark on both the connector and the jack, and

bring the connector into the correct position before inserting it.

8. Driver and Firmware

The UCX supports the Advanced Remote Control from its initial release on.

The Fireface UFX supports the ARC from driver version 1.018 (USB Windows), 3.062 (FireWire

Windows), 1.63 (USB Mac OS X), 3.03 (FireWire Mac OS X), with the DSP firmware 146 or

later flashed into the unit.

Older Fireface UFX that have not been modified (see chapter 3, System Requirements) will

cause the ARC to not work at all, or enter an invalid mode where LEDs will flash constantly.

Details on driver and firmware updates can be found in the respective units’ manual.

9. Configuration of the Advanced Remote Control

The Advanced Remote Control is configured via the Key Commands dialog of TotalMix FX, in

the Options menu. Note that the ARC does not have any memory, everything is done via and

performed within TotalMix FX. The setup of the ARC is stored within the Workspace, and will

therefore be identical in all Snapshots of the current Workspace.

All programmable buttons can be assigned to

more than 36 different commands. The behav-

iour of each individual button can be changed

between push, toggle, enable and disable,

depending on the base function.

All functions except volume can also be

performed via the F-keys of the Windows or

Mac keyboard. The default action here is to

load the current TotalMix Snapshots 1 to 5.

List of currently available commands/actions:

No Function

Main Volume

Global Mute

Global Solo

Mute Group 1 to 4

Solo Group 1 to 4

Fader Group 1 to 4

Link Main AB

Speaker B Select

DIM (Main Out)

Mute (Main Out)

Mute FX (Main Out)

Mono (Main Out)

Talkback

External Input**

Reverb**

Echo**

Cue Phones 1 to 4

Snapshot 1 to 8

Mic Gain 1 to 2*

Inst. Gain 3 to 4*

Volume Phones 1*

* For UCX. Other interfaces have different channels and settings.

** Enable / Disable only

Several functions can be activated at the same time. Example: Button Ais set to Cue Phones

1. That means the phones submix is heard via the Main output (the studio monitors). Now to be

able to also change the volume of the phones submix itself, set button B to Volume Phones 1.

Activating both will allow you to listen to the phones submix via the main output, and also to

change its volume (the fader in the third row) by turning the encoder knob.

In stand-alone mode of Fireface UCX and UFX there is no TotalMix FX. Therefore the settings

for the ARC are no longer available. Instead a fixed set of functions is activated:

Turn Encoder controls Main Out volume

Push on Encoder DIM for Main Out

Recall button Recall function for Main Out

Prog no function

Buttons 1 to 6 load Setup 1 to 6
