Controlling RME Totalmix

Hi. I’ve been hoping to control the overall reverb and delay volume of RME totalmix’s effect section using OSC/PAR. Is this possible? Any ideas? totorial?

Yep, you can control TotalMix FX reverb and delay over OSC.

Turn options on then look for Enable OSC Control in TotalMix, set your IP/ports etc.…, then open something like TouchOSC/OSCulator/Chataigne or something like that: as an OSC monitor. Move the Reverb/Delay sliders in TotalMix and watch what address shows up TotalMix spits out the OSC path and value when you touch a control that’s the exact address you need to send back to change it. Once you know the address, you can send messages from any OSC client, I am sure you can use python to help you out in this use SimpleUDPClient and send client message commands, likevthat.

(note: some controls are toggles, some take a value (usually 0.0–1.0). Addresses can vary slightly by interface/firmware, so sniffing the outgoing messages is the quickest way to map them.)

hope this helps or at least get on right path

Hi. I didn’t really understand any of that. Is there a manual? I put an osc monitor over totalmix but it didn’t spit out anything for reverb level, but I know it CAN be controlled by OSC mk2, so it must be possible.

Who would know how to do it?

All I can see is a video on the website, but it doesn’t really explain anything.

Yo Chris, no worries :slightly_smiling_face: let me see if I can help you here…

Simple way to look at it is that Total Mix can send and receive OSC for the Reverb and Delay, but you only see those messages if OSC control is turned on and the correct port is set. NOTE: my disclaimer is that I do not have alot of experience with Total Mix, but I think the concepts remain true here… (address given when move control, then use in app, basically) You will get it!

Try this:

  1. In TotalMix, go to Options > Settings > OSC
  2. Turn on Enable OSC control (or a setting like that I believe)
  3. ensure the outgoing port in Total Mix matches the port your OSC monitor is listening with
    (If these don’t match, you won’t see anything, which sounds like what happened :thinking:)
  4. Then use the OSC monitor again and move the reverb or delay levels or something inside Total Mix
    Should be that when everything’s set correctly, Total Mix will send out a little message every time you touch that slider…. SO THAT message is the address you need to control it
  5. Once you see that address, you can send the same thing back from any OSC app (OSC Pilot :grin: ) to change the reverb/delay volume etc..

No manuals realy for this kind of thing and think its because there is such a wide array use uses and it would take too much to do that, but that’s just my thought, I use it with a few different things but would be hard to do a manual for it… You can try some AI help, but the feedback is usually generic, gotta do this yourself, which I personally love though :winking_face_with_tongue:

If you still are getting messages after port settings, hit me back up, will try to help a bit more, can help you map it even.

kind regards,
Mike
