Push 3 Standalone channel limit with RME Fireface UFX III in class-compliant mode
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2026 6:36 pm
Hi Forum,
I am using an RME Fireface UFX III in class-compliant mode. An RME M-1620 Pro converter is connected via MADI to the Fireface.
When I connect the Fireface to my Push 3 Standalone, it appears as an audio device in the audio settings, but only 30 input and output channels are shown. The channels from the M-1620 converter do not appear in the list.
When I connected the Fireface to my Mac, I initially had the same issue. However, after increasing the maximum channel count to 96 in the macOS Audio MIDI Setup, the M-1620 channels became available in Ableton Live. This allowed me to rule out the RME hardware as the cause and suggests that the limitation is related to the host device configuration.
Is there a similar (possibly hidden) setting on the Push 3 Standalone that allows increasing this channel limit?
Thanks in advance.
Jens
