Main functions
- Layered working mode for faders: Main LR, Bus 1 al 6, FX 1 al 4, and DCAs. The faders adjust the channel level, Aux / FX send level, 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.
- 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 the 4 mute groups.
- Control of the Auto Mix X Y groups.
- Control of the 4 FX taps (for effects of type delay and chorus).
- OsiMIDI Stage allows to use up to 3 MIDI controllers for the fader bank, simultaneously, forming a group of controllers that behave as if we 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.
- 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. 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 / M AIR Edit of OsiMIDI Stage when we control the X AIR mixer with an X-TOUCH controller in XCTL mode through Ethernet. In listen mode OsiMIDI Stage does not control the X AIR 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-Bus6 and FX1-FX4, depending on the parameters that are being modified at any time, facilitating visualization of changed parameters on X AIR Edit.

Specifications
Installation
The XR18 audio mixers placed in the labs are fully pre-installed and ready to go. The following steps only serve as reference for new or mobile setups.
Connection
The XR18 communicates with its digital interface via Ethernet, either wired or wireless. We offer several solutions for wired connections as described below, but recommend the first one.
Connection with hub, DHCP Server
Here described is a connection with the Kensington UH3000-e hub.
Make sure the connection of the Behringer is set to 'DHCP Server'. If it is not, use the second connection method to change the setting.
Now connect the Kensington hub to a USB port on the computer. Preferably use a USB3 port (these ports are marked 'ss' and/or have a blue inside like the ports on the hub itself). Connect the Kensington hub to the Behringer XR18 with an ethernet (RJ45/8p8c) cable. Use the port that is marked 'remote' on the XR18. The cable will also fit in the port marked 'ultranet', but this will not do.
Additionally you may want to connect the hub with the XR18 with a USB2-AB cable. Oxford limiter native vst free download. This is not necessary for controlling the mixer, but additional functionality becomes available if you do.
Make sure the switch on the XR18 is set to 'ethernet'.
Your can now start the software.
Connection without hub, DHCP
Connect both your computer and the XR18 to a ethernet (RJ45/8p8c) wall outlet. Make sure the connection is set to 'DHCP'. The is the default. The XR18 will revert to this setting if you press the reset button for 2 seconds.

Make sure the switch on the XR18 is set to 'ethernet'.
Your can now start the software.
Interface
The TSG has developed a custom, simplified interface for controlling the XR18 mixer called 'Beer'. This program can be found in the start menu on our lab computers (StartAll ProgramsBehringer).If you require more controls and options, you can use the official Behringer 'X-Air-Edit' program.
Beer
Beer shows the audio sources (microphone 1, microphone 2, PC output) where the sound comes from on the bottom, and to the right are the outputs (phones 1, PC input, phones 2, speakers, monitor), i.e. where the sound goes to. The grid in between shows what is connected to what.
In the example on the right, sound goes from the first microphone to the first set of headphones. The experiment leader can use his own set of headphones to listen in on what the participant is hearing (monitor: phones 1).
Press 'get ip' to query where the XR18 is. Then press 'use' to use this device. You can also type the address manually if you want, which is unlikely.
The software is available for on our git server.You can download a more comprehensive manual here.
X-Air Edit
If you require a more elaborate setup than the simple Beer interface can provide, please consult the TSG or the official X-Air Edit documentation.
