Hi guys
I'm trying to source a used Multiface 1 to use with HDSPe ExpressCard.
The manual for the Multiface says that some functions can be contolled
using any MIDI controller by sending appropriate note on/off messages.
I'd like to be able to select mixer presets on the Multiface with some
small box with buttons.
Does anyone know if this MIDI control works/can be set up on Linux?
Anyone knows whether this control works entirely in hardware or needs
software involvement to receive MIDI and control the dsp mixer?
Thanks

Hi Michał,
the MIDI control of the HDSP mixer is only a software control (at least
in those cards I know: Multiface I, II, hdsp9632, hdsp9652); it is not
available through the "hdspmixer" software on Linux.
Workarounds can be to use tools like mididings and amixer to set up the
matrix gains on given program changes.

(btw, I will release a collection of tools for a Linux audio concert
performance within the next days, which contains mididings
configurations for almost exactly what you need, and also a MIDI CC
controllable matrix mixer for the hdsp cards).

Hi Giso,
many thanks for this info, I was getting that feeling from reading the
manual and how it talks about the option to disable MIDI control when
the Totalmix application is minimized.
I suppose that means one could implement a custom solution for
controlling the mixer without being limited by RME's own offering which
only allows advanced control features with Mackie control protocol
compatible devices.
Which might actually be what you've done already? I'd be very interested
in trying out the tools you mention when I get my interface.
Thanks,
Michał

i'm also quite interested in these tools... thanks for sharing!
cheers!

here is the mididings configuration file:
--cut from here------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
from mididings import *
def ev2print(ev):
return "./loadpreset {0:d}".format(ev.program)
run(
Filter(PROGRAM) >> System(ev2print),
)
--until here---------------------
This will call the shell command "./loadpreset" with the program number
of program change events as an input argument. You can put in that shell
script whatever you want. You need mididings
(http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/ from Dominic Sacré) for this to work
(this is not my work). I connected a Behringer foot switch controller
FBC 1010 as a controller.
For the rest of the tools I mentioned please give me one or two more
days... To have at least a minimal bit of documentation :-)
