12.3 Remote Control Software

A free remote software for Windows and Mac OS X can be the RME website.

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

quests of any number of supported RME units via a simple mouse click. Most appealing is the

combination with a HDSP(e) MADI, offering a direct control of the ADI-6432 via MADI. The re-

mote control software then uses a virtual MIDI port of the card, which directly sends and re-

ceives MIDI data via MADI.

remote controlled system.

MIDI commands from a

software on PC or Mac

travel via MADI to the MIDI

Out of the ADI-6432. At the

same time they reach the

6432'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.
