RELEASE NOTES FOR BUILD 1.01.023
NEW FEATURES SINCE BUILD 1.01.020
• New colored Auxiliary level indicators on Main Mixer
Screen have been changed to reect status of aux
sends. Now you can tell from the main screen which
auxes are on/off, and pre/post….just like the d8b.
• Added a new “Touch Sense” button to the automation
system such that you can shut off the touch sensitivity
of the faders to prevent accidental automation writing.
• Added an “Auto Write” feature based primarily on the
d8b auto write feature, in which a channel will detect
any changes being made during a pass, and will put
itself into Write Mode as a result.
• The Automation Window has been redesigned, using
V-Pot controls for the Touch Timeout and Write Fly-
back Return Time and also incorporating the new auto
features mentioned above.
• A new updated “Digital X Bus” splash screen has been
added in place of the original “DXB” screen.
