A Stream Deck plugin for RME audio interfaces: the TotalMix FX mixer on a Stream Deck XL. Channel names in their TotalMix colours, gain and levels in dB, live meters, mute and solo, Main and Phones, Dim, Mono and snapshots, and every change made in TotalMix on the keys at once.

- Channel keys. The name on its TotalMix colour, the gain or fader in dB, 48V and Inst badges, and a stereo meter whose clip mark stays until cleared. A tap mutes, and the key follows mutes made in TotalMix.
- Channel Detail. Hold a channel key and the whole deck becomes that channel: gain in 1 dB steps, 48V, phase, Inst, AutoSet, mute, solo, fader, low cut, EQ, dynamics, and its sends to Main, the Phones mixes and the FX.
- Monitoring. Main and Phones volume in 0.5 dB steps that speed up while held, Dim, Mono, Talkback, Speaker B, level presets saved with a long press, and snapshots 1 to 8.
- The Console. A ready-made XL profile with snapshots, the Status key, two banks of seven channel strips and the monitoring row, plus Inputs and Outputs pages. Each key can also go on any profile of your own.
- The Control Center. Settings in your browser, opened from the Status key: a Setup Assistant that checks TotalMix's OSC settings by what actually arrives, a packet log, your own channel names and colours, a layout builder and a settings backup. It runs inside the plugin and needs no account or internet connection.
