Topic: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) driver preview

RME has compiled drivers for use with the next Mac OS operating system 10.15 (Catalina), and offers these for interested users and everyone testing Catalina as preview download.

These drivers might not work as expected with older OS – the usual beta warnings apply (only use them on test systems etc).

Background: On fresh installations of 10.15 new driver packs are needed that are fully notarized. The drivers are mostly identical, but these new packages also include an updated TotalMix FX 1.62 beta 4, which is compiled with the latest XCode.

Notes

— The old ‘remove USB device hangs USB’ issue is still present under 10.15 betas

— Update: issue resolved in latatest 10.15 beta (The CPU load of the WindowServer is higher than usual with TotalMix FX).

— The USB 3 MIDI plugin of the USB driver is updated as the former one didn’t work under 10.15 beta

Be careful during installation! The Privacy dialog to allow the driver loading can be hidden behind the driver’s final reboot dialog as they come up nearly simultaneously – do not reboot before allowing ‘RME GmbH’ to load!

TotalMix FX 1.62b4 fixes two pan issues for UFX+ and UFX II which were reported on this forum. It also adds an ARC USB option ‘Push-off or-on’, see
https://www.forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopi … 11#p143611

Download links

Updated: USB series driver v 3.18 — Release version with TM FX 1.63

FireWire series driver v 3.37

UFX+ Thunderbolt driver v 1.11

HDSPe MADI FX / MADIface XT (PCIe) driver v 1.26

HDSPe series (PCI Express) driver v 4.14

TotalMix FX 1.62 Beta 4 is also available as direct download for use with older drivers:

Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

I will never ever buy another audio device than from RME. Name me another company that supports 15 year old devices? (I’ve gots 2 FF400s still going strong with latest Macs). The service is so good I’d like to pay for it. Suggestion: add a «Send me beer»- button to your site to satisfy this need in these long upgrade cycles. I love the fact it also saves the environment. I don’t need to buy some crap every other year.

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

Fully agree. Thats what I always tell people who have not the experience and overview over the recording interface market.

In contrast to that: see i.e. Windows related products: no win7 support anymore for modern CPUs and mainboards :-((
Microsoft is heavily fighting that we shall love Win10 and forget about the better 7 😉

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

Hi there — will the firmware update tool be updated to work in Catalina? Tried to use it, but says it needs to be updated for 64bit support (was trying to update my Fireface UC).

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

Fireface UCX user here trying to get this latest firmware to run on my iMac running 10.15.

Everything seems to install normally and then after I reboot and run «Fireface Settings» the application simply pops up in the Dock and then closes down. The icon remains in the Dock but doesn’t show as active and there are no windows. I can continue to click on the Dock Icon but it simply bounces up to start up and then immediately closes down again.

The current FUTs work. You seem to use an outdated one.

This thread is about drivers, not firmware. And these drivers have been released on our website. Please download the non-beta version there.

Noch kein grosses Testen veranlasst,aber Fireface 800 läuft an Mac mini 2018 ( direkt von Apple gekauft, gestern geliefert) mit 10.15.4. iTunes, Logic pro. Angeschlossen über Usb C zu Thunderbolt Adapter an Thunderbolt zu Fireface 800 Adapter.
Habe Mini aus Backup von macBook Pro «restored», musste dann aber die Fireface Treiber nochmals installieren, damit sie liefen

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

I’m running macOS 10.15.4 with my RME Fireface 800 and the v 3.37 driver. Generally things seem to work fine but the midi ports of the device do not show up in my DAW or other related software.

Re: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Drivers available for testing

It helps to read the dates of the last posts before replying. Current FW driver is 3.39, MIDI is fixed for some time already. And I will close this thread now.

The Fireface 800 is the world’s most powerful FireWire audio interface ever. Up to 56 channels record/playback, up to 192 kHz sample rate, and true FireWire 800 sum up to an unsurpassed high-end, high performance and high speed FireWire audio interface. Since the Fireface first shipped in July 2004, the unit became the reference for FireWire audio — and still is today!

The Fireface 800 combines the latest and also proven technologies of previous RME products with the fastest FireWire technology. Analog technology of the ADI-8 converters, microphone technology of the OctaMic, TotalMix technology of the Hammerfall DSP series, years of experience in programming of efficient and reliable drivers, up to complete support from DIGICheck — only the best of the best, and even a bit more. The Fireface 800 offers the best worked out instrument input that could ever be found in an audio interface, a high power headphone output and signal-to-noise ratios of 119 dBA.

RMEs Fireface 800 is seen as reference by users and editors, when talking about FireWire audio and mobile recording.

Inputs and Outputs

Analog I/Os: Eight balanced line inputs and outputs with software controlled switching of the reference levels (-10 dBV, +4 dBu, HiGain), of course realized discretely in the analog domain, guarantee highest dynamic range and highest fidelity. Apart from the levels of the microphone pre-amps and the headphone outputs, all device settings are software controlled. Equipped with the latest A/D and D/A converter chips, all I/Os operate up to 192 kHz and reach 119 dBA dynamic range on playback — even the headphone output (playback channels 9/10), whose high power technology delivers high volume even with low-impedance headphones.

On the front side, the Fireface 800 has 4 discrete balanced microphone inputs with class-A stage, separate activation of 48 V phantom power and separate XLR/TRS inputs, where the latter can also be used as additional Line inputs. Two of the four mic inputs are permanently available as channels 9 and 10, the other two can be used together with or alternatively to the inputs 7/8 on the back.

The FireFace 800’s Hi-Z instrument input offers a soft-limiter, which has been tuned especially for musical instruments. Due to a soft transition and deliberate creation of harmonics, the input signal is compressed steplessly according to taste, or the limiter can be used for distortion with tube sound. Activate the Drive circuit too for broad guitar distortion. The Speaker Emulation filter, which can also be switched on separately, takes low- and high-frequency disturbances away and guarantees an optimal basic sound even when recording directly into the computer, or when monitoring through a mixing console.

Digital I/Os: Two ADAT optical I/Os allow for a connection and insertion of effects devices, mixing consoles or external converters. Of course, these 16 channels are available simultaneously with the analog channels. Using two additional ADI-8 DS, there are 26 analog inputs and outputs, which remain still 18 at 96 kHz. The coaxial SPDIF I/O works up to 192 kHz, so that there are still 10 analog in- and outputs at the highest sample rate, plus two digital ones.

Features

All inputs and outputs can be used at the same time*!. E. g., the instrument input can be used either instead of the line input on the back, or together with it. Even the TRS jack and the XLR socket of the microphone inputs can be used simultaneously. This way, up to 35 signal sources can be connected to the Fireface 800 and recorded onto 28 separate tracks!

Thanks to the DSP-based TotalMix mixer, known from the Hammerfall DSP series, all inputs and outputs can be freely mixed, distributed and routed. Up to 14 completely independent stereo submixes are possible. Each of the mixer’s output channels, that is every single submix channel, can be recorded directly, without the need of external cable loops. And there’s more: TotalMix can be MIDI remote controlled with any Mackie Control compatible controller.

All settings including TotalMix are recalled during boot via flash memory. After making all desired settings, the device works stand-alone even without computer as a submixer, A/D and D/A-converter, headphone mixer, format converter, instrument or microphone pre-amplifier, monitoring mixer and much more.

The Fireface 800 is equipped with SteadyClock (TM) , RME’s unique sync and clock technology. With this, the device becomes a sync reference for the whole studio. SteadyClock refreshes clock signals, removes jitter, and takes permanent care of optimal conversion quality, thus guarantees a sensational sound quality, completely independent from the reference clock’s quality.

SteadyClock allows the Fireface 800 to control the sample rate freely on its own. The Settings dialog includes a direct choice of the video and audio world’s most often used sample rates. Additionally, two faders can be used to set the sample rate freely and in real-time, within the range of +/- 4% and +/- 0.4%.

Via an insert slot on the back, a Time Code Option (TCO) for synchronizing to LTC and video can be added. Thanks to SteadyClock, the Fireface 800 does not only extract absolute positions, but also a very clean low-jitter word clock.

The Fireface 800 has a second port for hub functionality, bi-lingual mode for full FireWire 400 compatibility, and an additional FireWire 400 port. Several Fireface 800 can be used in parallel and at the same time on one FireWire port.
