Using Linux most of the time, I&#8217;m really glad it has a Class Compliant mode. However, it features a DSP, allowing some basic mixer functionality like EQ, gain control and routing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after using OpenViszla to sniff on it&#8217;s USB communication, I got in touch with RME. The result is a kernel patch that enables you to access the routing part of the DSP, as well as changing clock source, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also working on a (so far rather basic) GUI, since using standard ALSA-mixer with that many controls can be cumbersome. Also, the patch isn&#8217;t in mainline yet, so you&#8217;ll still need to patch your kernel yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MrBollie\/RME-Babyace-Pro-ALSA-Mixer-Patch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/github.com\/MrBollie\/RME-Babyace-Pro-ALSA-Mixer-Patch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GUI can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MrBollie\/bbfpromix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/github.com\/MrBollie\/bbfpromix<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also works for the Babyface Pro (without the FS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-1024x414.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-768x310.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-1536x621.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1-624x252.png 624w, https:\/\/www.bollie.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-1.png 1658w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently got this beautiful little RME Babyface Pro FS and I&#8217;m quite stunned by build-quality and the sound quality.
