OsiMIDI Stage
Control your Behringer XR12, XR16, X18, XR18 and X32, and MIDAS MR12, MR18 and M32, through the local network with your MIDI controller
Features of OsiMIDI Stage
OsiMIDI Stage is a software that allows you to control digital mixers of Behringer XAIR and X32 series, and Midas MAIR and M32 series, using MIDI controllers (Behringer X-Touch, Behringer X-Touch Compact, Behringer BCF 2000, iCon Platform M, Korg nanoKontrol 2, etc…).
OsiMIDI Stage can control all XAIR and MAIR mixer models (XR12, XR16, X18, XR18, MR12 and MR18), as well as all X32 and M32 mixer models.

Main functions

  • Layered working mode for faders: The faders adjust the channel level to the main bus, send level to a monitor or effect bus, or DCA group level, depending on the currently selected layer.

    The current layer is identified by the led of the corresponding button on the MIDI controller. It is also shown in the right side of the Timecode Display, if we use a MIDI controller that is able to emulate Mackie Control and that has that display.

    The number of layers depends on the number of buses in the digital mixer model:

    • XAIR and MAIR Series: Main LR, Bus 1 to 6, FX 1 to 4, DCAs, DCAs + FX and 2 custom layers.
    • X32 and M32 Series: Main LR, Bus 1 to 12, FX 1 to 4, M/C, Matrix, DCAs and 2 custom layers.
  • Control of the master of the current layer, using the fader at the right of the MIDI controller.
  • Control of solo and mute of each channel, including masters and DCAs. Clear solo can be controlled, too.
  • Selectable functions for knobs. Depending on the selected function, the knobs allow you to modify the gain or pan of the channels of the strip to which they belong, or the gate, equalizer, compressor or low-cut parameters of the selected channel.

    The current function is identified by the corresponding led of the button on the MIDI controller. It is also shown in the left side of the Timecode Display, if we use a MIDI controller that is able to emulate Mackie Control and that has that display.

  • Channel selection. It allows to select which channel we are editing with the knobs, when the function of knobs is: gate, compressor, equalizer or low-cut. The selected channel can be set using the “select” buttons on each strip of the controller, or through the left channel and right channel buttons.

    The selected channel is identified by the corresponding led of the button on the MIDI controller. It is also shown in the Assignment Display, if we use a MIDI controller that is able to emulate Mackie Control and that has that display.

  • Paging of channels by banks. Functions left bank and right bank.
  • HOME function. Performs 2 functions simultaneously: Selects the fader layer Home LR and selects the Gain knobs function.
  • Control of mute groups.
  • Control of the Auto Mix X Y groups.
  • Control of the FX taps (for effects of type delay and chorus).
  • Control of scribble strips, meters and 7 segments displays, in controllers that are capable of emulating Mackie Control and that have these elements. In the scribble strips the names of the channels or the values of the parameters will be displayed, according to the function of the knobs selected at each moment. The 7-segment displays will show the selected channel, and the function of the knobs and the faders layer currently selected.
  • Colors on LCDs of the scribble strips when using the Behringer X-Touch controller or Behringer X-Touch Extender.
  • Compatible with AES50 I/O stage boxes.
  • OsiMIDI Stage allows to use up to 3 MIDI controllers for the fader bank, simultaneously, forming a group of controllers that behave as if you had a single controller with greater number of faders, knobs and buttons, allowing to form a bank with greater number of strips.
  • In addition to the MIDI controllers of the fader bank, buttons external to the bank strips (buttons zone) can also be controlled with up to 2 additional MIDI controllers, and with the PC keyboard.
  • Function "FADERS TO KNOBS", assigns to the knobs the same function as the faders. This function is useful with controllers such as the X-Touch-Mini, which has 8 strips, each with 1 knob and 2 buttons, but only the master strip has a fader. This way we can supply the lack of faders with the knobs.
  • Pickup mode. When using controllers not compatible with Mackie Control, or without motorized faders, the position of the faders will not correspond to the current values of the parameters when changing bank or fader layer. The same will happen when changing the function of the knobs, when the knobs are not encoders but potentiometers. The pickup mode allows to avoid sudden changes in the values of the parameters, since the controller must reach the current value of the parameter so that it starts to change.
  • 6 SHIFT buttons. SHIFT buttons allow you to assign more than one function to the same MIDI controller button.
  • 2 custom layers of faders. The user can define the channels that make up each of these two layers.
  • Synchronization with X AIR Edit / M AIR Edit / X32 Edit / M32 Edit. It allows OsiMIDI Stage to make selections in X AIR Edit, so that whenever we change the layer of faders, the function of the knobs, or the selected channel in OsiMIDI Stage, the selections will be transferred to X AIR Edit, so always we will be displaying in X AIR Edit the parameters that we are modifying with the MIDI controller. This feature is optional, OsiMIDI Stage does not need X AIR Edit to control the digital mixers, but its use greatly enhances the user experience.
  • Easy configuration using capture mode available in the configuration editor. To map the MIDI controllers, it is not necessary to enter the values manually, simply select a control on the application, and then trigger the equivalent control on the MIDI controller, the configuration editor performs the assignment automatically.
  • Auto detection of digital mixers in the network.
  • Listen mode. This mode allows to use the synchronization with X AIR Edit of OsiMIDI Stage when we control the digital mixer with an X-TOUCH controller in XCTL mode through Ethernet.

    In listen mode OsiMIDI Stage does not control the digital mixer, it only listens to changes made to the mixer by other means (X-TOUCH controller in XCTL mode) and makes selections in X AIR Edit.

    OsiMIDI Stage will select the Mixer, EQ, Comp, Gate tabs, as well as the channels and layer buttons (Main LR, Bus1-12, FX1-4, etc…), depending on the parameters that are being modified at any time, facilitating visualization of changed parameters on X AIR Edit.
