V2.20
Fixed bugs
- Two DSP5D units now can be cascade-connected and used (PM5D-DSP5D-DSP5D, PM5D-DCU5D-DSP5D-DSP5D, PM5D-DCU5D-DSP5D-DCU5D-DSP5D).
- Fixed a problem in which the cascade-connected DSP5D units could not properly load a file containing CASCADE TYPE or word clock settings different from the current settings.
- The DSP5D version and the internal battery status are not now shown when the PM5D and the DSP5D are cascade-connected but the connection is disabled. This is because the DSP5D internal battery was shown incorrectly as "No Battery" when the cascade-connection was disabled.
- A word clock source incapable of serving as the master clock now cannot be selected on the WORD CLOCK screen when the PM5D and the DSP5D are cascade-connected.
- After the DSP5D internal memory initialization is complete, the leftmost OUT [TX] LED now keeps flashing until the power is turned off and then on again (the LED used to turn off in about 10 seconds). The four LEDs now flash from the left repeatedly during the initialization (the LEDs used to flash once).
- When the PM5D/DSP5D for which the cascade-connection is enabled is turned off and then on again, the cascade-connection now becomes enabled automatically. Until the cascade-connection is enabled, a "Waiting for Auto Cascade Sync" message is now shown. To cancel the cascade-connection being enabled, select machine #1 (PM5D) then disable the cascade-connection using the CASCADE ENABLED/DISABLED button.
- Fixed a problem in which the PM5D-RH was disconnected from the AD8HR and/or the AD8HR gain setting was changed to 6-dB steps when five or more AD8HR units were connected to the PM5D-RH for extended periods.
- Scenes are now recalled faster when the PM5D and the DSP5D are cascade-connected.
- Fixed a problem in which the fader levels shown on the FADER ASSIGN screen sometimes differed from the actual levels.
- Fixed a problem in which the CH to MIX and MIX to MATRIX parameters were not recalled properly when a scene in which MIX channels were paired during PREVIEW was recalled.
- Fixed a problem in which the previous effects sometimes kept being applied when a scene that would change the internal effects to the GEQ modules was recalled.
Known issue
When the cascade-connection between the PM5D and the DSP5D is enabled, a scene for which the trigger condition is specified using INTERVAL on the EVENT LIST screen is occasionally skipped. To make sure the scene is properly recalled, specify the trigger condition using TIME CODE.
V2.11
Fixed Bugs
- The Global Paste function now works properly even when cascade-connection is enabled.
- Even when cascade-connection is enabled, scene editing operations (insert, cut, paste, clear) and undo operations for scene store/recall now work properly.
- Fixed a problem in which a scene shown in the scene list could not be sometimes recalled or edited (insert, cut, paste, clear) if a scene was edited several times.
- Even when a device other than machine #1 (PM5D) is selected as the target of the PM5D's panel operations and a scene including a fade time setting is recalled, the faders now move properly according to the fade time setting.
- DME control functions routed through an MY16-CII card now work properly.
- Fixed a problem in which a scene could not be undone if the DIRECT RECALL function was assigned to a User Defined Key and the scene was recalled.
- Fixed a problem that occurred when the internal effects were used for the GEQ module.
- Fixed a problem in which cascade-connection (PM5D — DCU5D — DSP5D) would occasionally not be restored even if the network was restored after the connection was temporarily disconnected due to network failure, etc.
V2.06
Fixed Bugs
The following bug has been fixed.
[Symptom]
Under certain conditions (see below), the patching of AD IN 4 to any channel is lost. However the patch screen still shows the patch. As a result, the audio signal of that channel stops.
[Conditions]
- When the OUTPUT PATCH of any Effect(1-8) is "No Assign" in the EFFECT PARAM screen or the EFFECT ASSIGN screen.
- When the above setting is changed from "No assign" to "Assigned".
V2.05
Major new functionality in PM5D firmware V2.0
Basic functionality and panel operations
- You can now control the DSP5D from the PM5D's panel.
- On/off operations of the channel selected in the FADER MODE section can now be operated from the DCA [MUTE] key.
- Even if the FADER [FLIP] key is on, you can now use the encoders to control the panning of the signal sent to the MIX buses, the head amp gain, or the attenuator.
- If there is no vacant library number when you store the selected scene as NEW, it will now be impossible to save the scene; this prevents an existing library item from being overwritten.
- As parameters that can be operated in the screen, MONITOR LEVEL and CUE LEVEL have been added. You can now assign these to the faders of the DCA strip so that the monitor or cue levels can be adjusted.
EFFECT functions
- Add-On Effects (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601, OPEN DECK) and DE-ESSER have been added.
- A DSP CONFIGURATION option has been added to the EFFECT ASSIGN screen and to the GEQ function GEQ ASSIGN screen, allowing internal effects 1-8 to be used as graphic EQ or parametric EQ.
- When the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the EFFECT PARAM screen, or when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the effect module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.
- If you've used the tap tempo function to specify the tempo in the EFFECT PARAM screen and then edited the DELAY parameter, the tempo will now stay unchanged.
GEQ functions
- Options have been added to the GEQ PARAM screen, allowing you to switch a graphic EQ to a parametric EQ.
- Not only when the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the GEQ PARAM screen but also when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the GEQ module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.
- When you insert a GEQ in the GEQ PARAM screen, insert-in will automatically be turned on for that channel, and will be automatically turned off when you remove the GEQ.
SCENE functions
- In the SCENE screen, you can now specify "read-only" scenes that will not be overwritten when you load scenes from a memory card.
- In the SCENE screen, a DELAY field has been added, allowing you to specify the timing of the program change or MIDI events that are transmitted when the scene is recalled.
- In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and the RECALL SAFE screen, the ON parameter has been added as a channel parameter that can be included in or excluded from recall operations.
- In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and RECALL SAFE screen, separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, an OUTPUT ISOLATION field has been added, so that output channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations can be stored in SETUP memory (which is not affected by memory card load operations).
SYS/W.CLOCK functions
- In the MIXER SETUP screen, a VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK button has been added, allowing you to temporarily change the input patching for a rehearsal.
- In the OUTPUT ATT PORT screen, a Φ (phase) button has been added, allowing you to switch the phase between normal and reverse for each output channel or I/O channel output port.
UTILITY functions
- In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a DCA MUTE TARGET option has been added, allowing you to specify that the DCA [MUTE] key will mute the send to the MIX bus.
- In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, an ATT OPERATION ON PANEL option has been added, allowing you to prevent the panel encoders from operating the attenuators.
- In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a MIX SEL/ENCODER MODE LINK option has been added, allowing you to link selection of MIX channels with selection of MIX SEND SELECT keys.
- In the USER DEFINE screen, functions such as DSP5D CONTROL and ENCODER MODE KEY have been added to the functions that can be assigned to user-defined keys.
- In the FADER ASSIGN screen, options have been added, allowing you to use the STEREO/DCA strip section to control the monitor/cue level and on/off status.
- In the FADER ASSIGN screen, you can now assign the desired channels of the DSP5D as well.
- In the SECURITY screen, a LOAD LOCK function has been added, allowing you to disable loading for each type of file.
- In the SECURITY screen, a RECALL LOCK option has been added, allowing you to lock parameters so that they will not be changed when a scene or library is recalled.
Input/output functions
- In the OUTPUT PATCH function OUTPUT PATCH screen, you can now change the patching of output channels to MIX OUT jacks 1-24.
- In the OUTPUT PATCH function INSERT POINT screen and the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, a SET ALL button and CLEAR ALL button have been added, allowing you to turn all channels on/off in a single operation.
- In the INPUT VIEW function CH JOB screen, channel settings can now be moved as well as copied.
- In the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, PRE ATT has been added as a direct output transmit location.
- In the PAN/ROUTING function MIX SEND VIEW screen, the send position (PRE/POST) of the signal sent to the MIX bus is now indicated by the color of the bar graph.
- You can now set a Q of up to 16 for the parametric EQ in the input channels, output channels, and GEQ modules.
- You can now set a threshold level of down to -72 dB for an input channel GATE.
