Topic: New FireWire series Windows driver - public beta - update 3
Hello,
the next FireWire driver coming up includes some significant changes. After a lot of internal testing it is now ready for public beta testing. As usual do not use this one on a production system and with sensitive data. If you need to make money with our hardware - don't fool around, use what works, stay safe!
Its most spectacular feature is the addition of multi-client mixing. You can now use any number of programs of any sort (WDM, ASIO) to play back on the sa
me channels. Note that as long as you use only one program per playback channel the driver works as before, including bit-perfect playback.
This new driver also delivers what we promised before: an update to the 'old' TotalMix, addressing the most important features wanted, for the FF 400 and FF 800. TM will never become a TM FX, but some things were really bothering us too, so you now get 4 fader groups (plus a temporary one), an undo for the most worst error (accidentally loading a preset), and additional MIDI remote functions (see below).
- New TotalMix FX 0.93 (FF UFX)
- TotalMix FX help and Settings dialog are correctly installed under Win 64
- Settings dialog saves the current position
- Settings dialog FF400/800: Buffer size 4096 in QS mode removed (more than 2048 is not supported by the hardware)
- Settings dialog: Pitch menu/list box improved
- Settings dialog: sample rate list box improved
- Various small improvements of the WDM driver
- WDM UFX: ADAT 2 1/2 is no longer labelled SPDIF
- FF 800 stand-alone channel 1: Limiter state is stored correctly
- FF 400 Encoder: selecting invalid channels caused crash
- Multi-client playback mixing on identical channels
- TotalMix Update (for FF 400/800):
- - 4 fader groups definable. Use 'Save All Presets' to store them to a file.
- - Undo of the last Preset loading
- - New options to deactivate the Mackie protocol and the Level Meters
- - Level Meter data added to Mackie protocol
- - Post fader mode added (Mackie: F16. On: MIDI channel 1, note on A 4. Off: MIDI channel 1, note off A 4)
- - Direct submix selection via Control Change commands (channel 1/2: BC 68/69 xx, channel 3/4: BC 6A/6B xx etc.)
Happy testing!
