10.3 Remote Control Software

The Windows and Mac software MIDI Remote can be downloaded for free from the RME web-

site. It can use any existing MIDI port within the system to perform remote control and status

requests of all ADI-648 via a simple mouse click. Most appealing is the combination with a

HDSP MADI (PCI card), offering a direct control of the ADI-648 via MADI. The remote control

software then uses a virtual MIDI port of the card (port 3), which directly sends and receives

MIDI data via MADI.

the signal flow in a MADI

remote controlled system.

MIDI commands from a

software on PC or Mac

travel via MADI to the MIDI

Out of the ADI-648. At the

same time they reach the

648's CPU. The MIDI sig-

nals of external devices

travel via MIDI In and MADI

Out back to the software,

together with the request

responses of the CPU.

The software can be foundon the RME website, section Downloads, MIDI Remote.

MIDI Remote's user interface offers lots of advanced features for an easy and intuitive every-

day usage. Two views are available: a front-panel style surface, and a full matrix display. The

following screenshot shows the software in operation and in both views.
