Touch and Turn (User Defined Knob)

We put four knobs next to the LCD. You may assign different functions to them --

Lamp dimmer, EQ/Comp parameter, Send level, and most of other functions can be controlled by a knob.

One of a new function for it is "Touch and Turn".
You may find a pink circle in LCD screen. When you touch a knob icon in the screen, the pink circle moves to it and a User Defined Knob assigned to "Touch and Turn" can control its value.
This will allow you to maximize convenience of touch screen operation.
User Defined Knob D is assigned to the function as a default. Please try.

Premium Rack with Portico

We introduced Premium Rack with the CL series consoles.
It is another 8U processing rack for premium VCM effects from RND and Yamaha. You have, of course, a regular 8U effect rack for traditional VCM and SPX programs besides it.



The premium RND programs include Portico 5033/5043 which have been available as VST plug-ins for DAW software. The CL series come with these programs as a default and you may use up to eight instance of them. The Portico 5033 has a bypass switch which bypasses EQ processing BUT its transformer emulation. Many engineers already mentioned that it added essence of high quality analog circuit to the system.



PDF brochure is available for more details.

Dante Controller 3.2.0 Released for Windows & Mac

Audinate recently released a new version of their Dante Controller Software for use with Windows and Mac operating systems. Version 3.2.0 was released in Febuary by Audinate and is available for download from their website.  The new Dante Controller brings slight changes to the software and also addresses some stability and reliability issues from the previous version of Dante Controller (v3.1.2). 

For average users Dante Controller's UI will remain the same, changes have however been made to the "Device View" section of Dante Controller.  These include a renamed and revamped "Device Config" (Formally "Config") tab with a new sample rate "Pull-Up/Down" section.  The "Pull-Up/Down" sample rate selection is only available for the Brooklyn II Dante modules, the MY16 card does not support sample rate pull up/down because it uses a different wordclock from that of the Brooklyn II module. Supported sample rate pull-up/down settings are; +4.1667%, +0.1%, -0.1%, -4.0%. 

A new "Network Config" tab has also been added, this section allows supported Dante devices to be toggled between "Redundant" & "Switched" modes.  The "Network Config" tab allows the user to specify static IP address for each ethernet port as well.  The Brooklyn II module is the only Dante device to support "Switched" mode but static IP support for the MY16 card may be coming in future firmware updates.

More detailed infromation regarding Dante Controller v3.2.0 can be found in the release notes from Audinate.

Best,

Nick
