X-TOUCH EXTENDER Hook-up

Typical Simple System

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all DAWs support more than one hardware controller of the same type.
Typical Connection Method Using UsbTypical Connection Method Using Ethernet Network

The function of the X-TOUCH EXTENDER controls will vary widely depending on the implementation of your DAW. The following descriptions are for the ideal case in MC mode, if your DAW supports these features. If you look into the features of your DAW, such as MIDI Learn mode, you will be able to assign the physical controls to operate a wide variety of software and plug-in controls.

1. Push encoder knobs – these 8 endless encoders each have a detent and push function (not illuminated), and a 13-segment amber LED ring. These are typically used in Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) applications for fine control of parameters such as aux send and pan control of each channel.

2. Scribble strips – these 8 LCD displays indicate various parameters and labels as shown in the DAW software. They are also used to view various settings and adjustments of the unit that can then be adjusted with the encoders.

3. Channel buttons – these 4 buttons per channel are used for individual DAW mixer channel applications:

4. Rec – arms the channel for recording.

5. Solo – isolates a channel in the mix.

6. Mute – mutes the channel.Select – this selects the channel for editing. The mixer controls are then dedicated to setting up the selected channel, with details shown in each scribble strip.

7. Channel meters – these 8-LED meters show the signal level of each channel, and indicate when a signal (SIG LED) is present, and when it is clipping (CLIP LED).

8. Faders – these touch-sensitive motorized 100 mm faders are typically used for fine control of level functions in DAW applications. Rear Panel

9. AC IN – securely connect the supplied AC power cord here. Connect the other end of the cord to your local AC mains supply. Do not defeat the safety ground.

10. POWER switch – press in to turn on the unit, press out to turn it off. Do not turn it on until all connections have been made.

11. REMOTE – this port is an Ethernet interface for connection to a DAW supporting RTP MIDI.

12. USB HUB – these 2 USB type A connectors are used for connecting external USB hardware such as a USB mouse, a keyboard, USB MIDI controllers such as the X-TOUCH MINI, and USB MIDI keyboards. The Hub communicates directly to the computer and not to the
    X-TOUCH EXTENDER. Each connector can supply 5V USB power. The hub is only active when the X-TOUCH EXTENDER is powered on, and connected to a live computer via the USB MIDI connector.

13. USB MIDI – this USB type B connector is used to connect to a computer’s USB port for MIDI data transfer (send/receive), and USB Hub communications.

14. HARDWARE SETUP
    Make all connections in your system.
    Apply AC power to the X-TOUCH EXTENDER and turn on its power switch.
    The setup depends upon the X-TOUCH EXTENDER interface you have selected, USB or Network.
    USB: connect the X-TOUCH EXTENDER directly to an available USB port on your computer using the supplied USB cable.
    Network: after all the IP, Mask and other settings are made, connect its remote ethernet port to your network.
    If using the network interface, search for the
    X-TOUCH EXTENDER on your network.
    In your DAW software, select the X-TOUCH EXTENDER as your MIDI controller, and enjoy.

15. FIRMWARE UPDATE
    To show the current firmware version, hold down the channel 1 REC button while you turn on the power switch.
    Check our website’s X-TOUCH EXTENDER product page for any firmware updates. If there is a firmware version later than the currently-loaded firmware, download the new file onto your host computer.
    To enter the firmware update mode, hold down the channel 8 REC button while you turn on the power switch. The REC button will blink during update mode. The new firmware can be dumped via USB. Follow the instructions in the firmware file.

CONFIGURATION SETUP MODE
To enter the configuration setup mode: Hold the CH 1 SELECT button while powering on.To choose a mode of operation, rotate Encoder 1 to cycle through the modes. To choose the interface from USB or Network, rotate Encoder 2. To change the Network settings use Encoders 3 to 7. To change the LCD contrast, rotate encoder 8.To exit the configuration setup mode: Press the CH 1 SELECT button to exit.

Firmware Version: To show the current firmware version: Hold the CH1 REC button while powering on. To exit the menu: Release the CH1 REC button.

Firmware Update: To enter the firmware update mode: Hold the CH8 REC button while powering on. The REC button will blink. Now the SysEx MIDI file can be dumped via USB.

Using the X-TOUCH EXTENDER with RTP MIDI

The X-TOUCH EXTENDER can be used as an RTP MIDI device over a Network connection. This is useful in systems where long USB cables would otherwise be required.
The following instructions show the general preparation of the X-TOUCH EXTENDER for RTP MIDI operation, and then further details for use with an OS X network, and a Windows network.
Preparing the X-TOUCH EXTENDER for RTP MIDI operation

1. On the X-TOUCH EXTENDER, press and hold the SELECT button of CH1 during power up, to enter the Settings menu. Observe the text in the scribble-strip displays.

2. Turn the 2nd encoder to select NETWORK.

3. The 3rd encoder allows you to select either MODE or DHCP:

4. MODE selects between using the
   X-TOUCH EXTENDER as an RTP SLAVE or an RTP MASTER. In SLAVE mode, you need to enter the IP address of the X-TOUCH EXTENDER into your computer’s RTP MIDI settings. In MASTER mode you can enter the IP address of the computer by turning the 3rd encoder one tick to the right, and use encoders 4-7 to enter the sets of
   3- digits that make up the address. You may use Port 5004 in both cases, as this is the standard port for RTP MIDI.

5. DHCP can be set to ON or OFF. When DHCP is set to ON, the X-TOUCH EXTENDER will get its IP address automatically within the connected network from the DHCP server. When DHCP is set to OFF, the IP, Subnet mask, and Gateway have to be entered manually by turning the 3rd encoder to the right and accessing the following pages: my IP, my Mask, and my Gway. You can enter the IP addresses using encoders 4-7.

6. Exit the X-TOUCH EXTENDER setup by pressing the SELECT button of CH1 again. You will see the following in the display: IP: 000.000.000.000 Wait…

7. The IP will first switch to an internal IP before it shows the actual IP (for example IP: 010.100.001.029) within the network when DHCP is used. When the X-TOUCH EXTENDER is connected to the computer via the network, the Wait message will disappear.

Using X-TOUCH EXTENDER as an RTP MIDI device within OS X
For OS X systems, no external driver is required for RTP MIDI operation.
