53X32 COMPACT DIGITAL MIXER User Manual

7.5.3Setup Screen: Remote Tab:

The setup screen’s remote tab allows setting up the console as a control surface for various DAW recording software on a connected computer. With its large complement of motorized faders, the console can act as an excellent controller for various DAW software, allowing the user to make level adjustments quickly and easily without using a mouse.

To adjust the various remote settings, perform the following steps:

1.Tap the 1st encoder to enable the console’s top panel Remote button. This switches various console hardware, such as the bus faders, to control computer DAW software instead of the console’s internal audio path.

2.Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the specific control surface protocol used, in conjunction with the target DAW software. Choices include:

•Mackie Control: Use this protocol to control any DAW software that is compatible with a Mackie Control hardware control surface.

•HUI: Use this protocol to control any D.A.W. software that is compatible with a HUI hardware control surface, such as Pro Tools.

3.Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected control surface protocol.

4.Adjust the 5th encoder to select whether the remote function uses the MIDI In and OUT jacks or the X-USB card’s MIDI.

5.Tap the 5th encoder to confirm the selection.

6.Adjust the 6th encoder to adjust various MIDI-based operations for the console. Choices include:

•MIDI In/Out: This toggles the MIDI input and outputs for the console on/off.

•Card MIDI: Allows MIDI transmission through the X-USB card.

•USB In/Out: This toggles the console’s USB ports on/off.

•RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol): This toggles on/off the console’s ability to interface with an Ethernet-based MIDI system.

•Enable MIDI scene recall: This toggles on/off the console’s response to incoming MIDI messages for switching console scenes.

7.Tap the 6th encoder to toggle the currently selected MIDI option on/off. This can be useful if you want to ensure that any connected MIDI transmitters cannot interfere with the console.

7.5.4 Setup Screen: Network Tab:

The setup screen’s network tab contains settings used when connecting the console to a standard Ethernet network. The user can set parameters such as using a fixed IP address or having one assigned, as well as setting up the Ethernet and subnet mask settings.

To set the network address for the console, perform the following steps:

1.Adjust the 1st encoder to select which specific network field to adjust. Choices include:

•IP Address

•Subnet Mask

•Gateway

2.Adjust encoders 2, 3, 4, and 5 to set the 4 numerical fields to be adjusted, for the selected network field.

3.Tap the 6th encoder to assign the adjusted settings.
