New Features

• The PM5D console can now communicate with the group master DME whose ID is not limited to only 2 but also allows other numbers, when remotely controlling the DME units from the PM5D (DME Control function). In this case, however, the PM5D firmware must be V2.20 or later.
• The screen image appearing when the DME64N/24N starts up can now be replaced with a graphic file of your choice in the following way. This function allows you to display a desired startup screen-for example, one that includes your facility's name and logo.
  
  Preparing the graphic data
  Create the desired graphic data at a size of 160 x 48 dots in black-and-white bitmap format (extension .bmp) and save it as a file with the name "opening.bmp."
  
  Replacing the graphic data
  Transmit the graphic file ("opening.bmp") to the DME unit using the DME File Storage function from the DME Designer. This image will be displayed at the startup screen from the next time when the DME starts up.
  
  Other information
  To restore the default startup screen, create a dummy file and change the name to "blank.bmp." and storage it in the same way as above. The default startup screen will be displayed from the next time when the DME starts up.
  The file transmitted to the DME unit using the DME File Storage function will be automatically erased after completing the internal configuration. This means the file is not stored on the DME unit.
  Compatible graphic files are limited to black-and-white bitmap format at a size of 160 x 48. Other graphic files cannot be displayed.
  The "Copyright" indication at the bottom of the screen cannot be erased.
  Only the DME64N/24N is compatible with this function. The ICP1 is incompatible.

• Fixed a problem that MY8-AE96S Sampling Rate Converter only works on channels CH1/CH2.
• Fixed a problem that when a slot with MY16-C installed is selected as the master clock, DME24N/DME64N works at 48kHz even if the clock frequency of MY16-C is set at 96kHz by the dip switch.

Fixed Bugs

• Fixed a problem that synchronization fails from the second time when two or more AD8HR or AD824 are connected.
• Fixed a problem that "-28dB" is set for Gain of AD824 if it is attempted to set "-38dB" using DME Designer.
• Fixed a problem that recalling a scene does not always recall the parameters for AD8HR or AD824 properly
• Fixed a problem that a De-Esser component parameter cannot be operated by User Define Button, MIDI, GPI or DAW controller.
• Fixed a problem that an event occurs at an unintended time, depending on the settings of the Event Scheduler.
• Fixed a problem that local link settings disappear after synchronising from DME to Designer when multiple DME-Ns are connected.
• Fixed a problem that a parameter link setting which is not stored in a scene disappears by saving a project file.
• Fixed a problem that when two or more AD8HRs are connected, the setting of +48V Master for other units than the first is not displayed properly on DME Designer.
• Fixed a problem that the parameter link window is not displayed properly by importing a DME export file that contains a parameter link.

New Features

• Scenes can now be stored in DME Designer while Online. You can store a scene while online but the scene will keep its default name. Please go off-line to edit the scene name.
• Muteless synchronization “From DME64N/DME24N to DME Designer” is available
• The synchronization process has been improved.
  In this version, synchronization from DME Designer to DME64N/24N can be done without audio interruption, but with the following exceptions:
  
  • The 1st time (*) data is transferred after DME Designer software is launched.
  • When changes to project data between DME Designer software and DME64N/DME24N is outside of the following
    (for example if you make any other changes such as placing new components, changing wiring between components)
    1. Parameters in components
    2. AD/DA parameters for AD824/AD8HR/DME24N
    3. Parameters in MY-Cards

  (*)No audio interruption will occur even when the 1st transfer is made, if the project file has been saved before closing DME Designer last time.

• Added a function to use the REMOTE connector as a MIDI connector, corresponding to both RS232C and RS422.
  It is set by the REMOTE parameter on the Misc page of Utility Display (Bold fonts below are added in this version).
  
  “HA Control ”,
  Control for an external head amp. (Only for RS422)
  
  “COM (RS232C)”
  “COM (RS422)”
  Control via a DME communication protocol using RS232C/RS422
  
  “MIDI (RS232C)”
  “MIDI (RS422)”
  Control via a MIDI command using RS232C/RS422
• Sped up the compile by approximately three times when Auto Delay Compensation is On, and approximately double when Auto Delay Compensation is Off.
• After a scene is stored, it is recalled automatically (previously it had to be recalled manually).
• Dealt with the property editing for the same type of multiple objects in Designer Window.
• Dealt with Undo and Redo shortcuts (Ctrl + Z/Ctrl + Y) on the Component Editor.

Fixed bugs

• Dealt with a problem that “0” is displayed as the delay value if ‘Show Signal Delay’ is selected and 64 x 64 or 64 x32 Matrix Mixer is being used.
• Dealt with a problem that Snaps have different contents if the user repeatedly switches the edited snaps rapidly while Online.
• Fixed a bug that the text on a dialog screen is not shown correctly when ‘large font’ is selected in Windows (OS) Display Preferences.
• Fixed a bug that Navigator and Resource Meter protrude from a display area and cannot be moved if users operate on a small display area such as a laptop after changing from a multi-display or high resolution external monitor.
• Fixed a bug that a project file (*.daf) created with V1.0 cannot be opened with V1.10 if a Parameter link is assigned to it.
• Changed the process that DME Designer used to become offline automatically if it had not communicated with DME for more than 30 seconds for any reasons. Now it stays online and shows a notification message box.
  * However, if users change it to offline, it does not recover automatically.
  * The condition above is not kept in an event log.
• Fixed a bug that DME Designer can not be synchronized unless the PC is restarted when a communication error of DME Network Driver occurs. It is now possible to synchronize without restarting the PC when such an error occurs. ”
• Fixed a bug that an inappropriate parameter value is set for GPI IN input voltage when users control a parameter through GPI IN from an external controller.
  * Note:
  An appropriate value is set only with a B-Curve controller of 10KΩ.
  Use a B-Curve controller of 10KΩ.
• Fixed a bug that DME does not recover unless it is restarted if users turn off AD8HR while they are editing AD8HR on the HA Utility page.
• Fixed a bug that the +48V of the internal head amps of DME24N are not set correctly when power is switched on.
• Fixed a bug that when multiple dynamics components (Comp, Auto Mixer, Crossover Processor, etc.) are placed within the same configuration, editing the parameter of one component may actually change the parameter of one of the other components.
• Fixed a bug that if a GPI IN channel is assigned to Scene Increment/Decrement in the [Tools]-[GPI] setting screen, the settings of higher numbered GPI IN channels are not saved. Fixed a bug that if a GPI OUT channel is assigned to GPI Lock, the settings of higher numbered GPI OUT channels are not saved.
• Fixed a bug that DME Designer does not synchronize or analyze if it is installed to a folder that contains multibyte characters (Japanese, etc.) (E.g.: a desktop, etc.).
• Fixed a bug that when users try to store a legend as a default setting, the input value is not saved as a default setting if it includes multibyte characters. Also fixed a bug that when users try to store a sheet setting as a default, it is not saved as the default setting if it includes multibyte characters.
• Fixed a bug that a gain reduction ratio was working at 1:20.1 even though the Ratio of the component is set at 1:∞. The following components are affected: Compressor, CompanderH, CompanderS, Expander, CrossoverProcessor, CrossoverProcessor2, De-Esser
• Fixed a bug that an error sometimes occurred when synchronising again from DME Designer to DME to transfer a Wav file after it was interrupted once.
• Fixed a bug that a registered parameter became unavailable if the security of a User Module is made to be available after a parameter within the User Module is registered in GPI, MIDI, User Defined Button, DAW Control or Event Scheduler.
• Modified the procedure so that a Component Lock can now be set on even if Security is set on in the ‘Save User Module’ screen.
• Fixed a bug that parameters such as Slot setting properties could not be initialized properly if DME is added again with the Undo operation after canceling the placement of multiple DME64N/DME24N in the Zone Design Window.
