nice work, i'll install tonight.. the increased DSP is going to be great, i never maxed out DSP previously but i got close so a bit more headroom will be good. looking forward to checking out the other additions also

Hello MC,

Not to rush you, but do you know when the MADIface-XT PCIe driver (MADI-FX driver) will be released with these TM-FX improvements (namely my -20dB Noise Gate threshold fix)?

Thanks!

It's not the driver (you could use the latest TM FX from a different driver package). This change requires a new firmware, most probably next week.

The routine in all our former interfaces had to be designed to use as few resources as possible. So we came up with a scheme that dynamically applied the limited number of filters to the faders that most probably need the filter. Such a scheme can obviously not adress any possible situation, so it could happen that faders were unfiltered (with the typical zipper noise) in one or the other situation.

With the latest hardware/FPGAs we had more resources and came up with a completely newly designed way of handling this. No limitation, always working on all filters, so there is no situation left where moving a fader could cause zipper noise. This technology had been invented for the HDSPe MADI FX channel monster, where the former approach failed completely. We now added this to the other TM FX devices where there is a bit space left in the FPGA (Babyface, UCX, UFX). MADI FX, MADIface XT and MADIface USB had this feature from the start.

I'll wait until next week.  Thank you for the reply!

can you explain how this works exactly ? I can see its possible to set delay time to 0.00 but how does that make it act like a real Aux bus ? Does a real Aux bus mean you can plug in an external delay unit and use the send on each channel to feed the external hardware somehow, or is it something else ?

Great, thanks for the continued development of even better drivers and firmware.
This is one of the main reasons I use RME and will continue to do so.

I can't seem to get DIGICheck 5.62 to work with my Babyface running FW 218.  The SR indicated in DC appears stuck at 44.1KHz regardless of the actual selected sampling rate.  Returning the Babyface to FW 204 and DC goes back to fully working again.  I did the HW power cycle after each FW change.  USB driver is 1.042.  PC is running Windows 8 64-bit.  Just thought you might like to know.

Some problems:

do any of the problems with the recent babyface firmware have any impact or connection to the UFX firmware update ? I have a gig next week and i have already flashed the new UFX firmware, if it might be troublesome i will flash back to previous firmware before the gig..

thanks..

The Hot News section of the RME site is showing this:

03/06/2014 Windows and Mac firmware updates for UFX/UCX/Babyface.   

...but the latest version on the actual download page is 219, from Feb 28. Do you have any thoughts on that?

I guess I'm a little confused about the timeline on that first post. Was the Mod Edit from Mar 6?

It seems strange that there's a News item about an update without an update from the same date.

Either way, I'll assume 219 is the current version.

That one was indeed removed as it looked like the problem is gone. I put it back as that is only true for the guy posting after you.

We are still waiting for you to post a finishing/closing comment on that thread, so it doesn't look like that problem is still not fixed. Please do so.

No such effects known. Use the old firmware and driver to verify that this is not caused by an unnoticed change on your system.

Thanks for the reply. Current problem is: I don't have the old installer/drivers anymore also couldn't find them on your website. May you have a link for me?

Same path to 1039, 1038 etc.

for the former firmware.

And we continue with fixing and improving our products. Today there are new firmwares available which can increase the performance and reliability under Windows a lot. But it depends on the specific situation, so many users which have no problem anyway will not notice a difference. Others with performance problems in double and quad speed might see a huge difference. Simply try it!

Yep, exactly that's why we finally stopped waiting for a solution from Microsoft. Will most probably never come.

Sound is unchanged, sorry.

You can go back and forth any time.
