X-TOUCH EXTENDER
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:
•
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.
•
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.
4. 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...
5. 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.
Slave
1. Make sure your computer and the
X-TOUCH EXTENDER are within the
same network.
2. Open AUDIO/MIDI-Settings on the computer.
3. Open MIDI Studio / MIDI Devices window.

Using X-TOUCH EXTENDER as an RTP MIDI
device with Windows
Windows systems require the use of a third-party
external driver for RTP MIDI. For example, do an
internet search for "rtpMIDI" then download and
install it on your computer.
