DAW Remote x32

Post by Fingerpickingood »

I would like to control my DAW (reaper in this case) using an x32. I seem to have it working mostly how I would like. However, I would like to open up the bank of 16 faders to be able to control reaper via MIDI CC is that possible? I understand sort of how it works, with the audio passing through all the channels on the left, so, I could have 32 audio outs, but all I really need is 2, and ideally, I'd like to send that straight to the LR house fader, and keep all the other fader banks for CC control.

I have everything running through the card right now, connected in XUF, but I noticed that there is a "remote" port for USB as well. Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

Not sure this is possible as the MIDI implementation on X32 is limited and DAW support even more.

There are other solutions you may want to consider, especially for REAPER:
X32reaper - 2 way communication between X32 and REAPER. REPEAR remains your DAW and audio engine, limited controls.

X32ReaperAutoMate - REAPER is your DAW/Audio source. Full automation is possible on all X32 parameters & channels, and X32 is the audio engine.

Oh hello! I actually came across your software and videos already. I won't lie, I don't understand them fully, but as I understand it, it isn't very flexible in terms of easily choosing specific tracks to be associated with specific faders. It looks like it needs to someone be predetermined in software, or would work as banks of numbered tracks, is that right?

For me, it's really imperative to be able to associate specific tracks on Reaper for their volume fader to be controlled by the x32.

The remote mode that comes natively with the console, is nearly perfect, however it runs audio through all 32 inputs, if you so desire, I think. Or is that something I can change?

It only leaves me with the 8 buss faders for midi CC control. Having the scribble strips receive track names would be very cool, but if o need to manually enter them, that's not the end of the world. 8 faders though, I don't think is enough for me. I have very big projects, and the tracks I would want to automate are very far apart, however I'd like all tracks I'd want to automate to be easily accessible on a single page on the console.

Is there not a way to have the x32 assign a midi cc to all 24 faders and that's it? Ot that's it because I'd want the motorized faders to work. The way the remote feature works, seems to be simple midi cc+ motorized faders functionality. Which is perfect. It doesn't do mute, or solo, or anything else, which would be cool, but that's not really a big deal for me. For me the main thing is to be able to assign any Reaper track to any of the faders, and for it not to forget which tracks are assigned, unless I tell it to.

The native DAW control works in banks of 8. X32Reaper works 1:1 with the tracks as presented in the Reaper project.
