Dear X32 users,
I am happy to announce the availability of some firmware and application software updates, which have even been praised by secret littles birds, recently.
We just got Apple's approval for X32-Mix v2.2. And I suppose it will be available in the iTunes store tonight. We are also busy uploading the corresponding firmware update v2.04 concurrently with all updates of X32-Edit 2.0 (Win/MacOSX/Linux) to our website. I have copied some of the respective release info here below, fyr.
The software versions mentioned above are working together and we recommend updating all of them. There is no guarantee that older firmware would work with the new apps, nor the other way around. The only exception being unfortunately iPad 1 users, who have no choice but keeping the old app and staying with console firmware 1.15.
Please be aware that we strongly recommend backing up the internal data of the X32 console on a USB thumbdrive, before upgrading to the new firmware. The upgrade process may reorganize the internal memory and erase all previous show/scene data. Restoring old show/scene data from USB on the new firmware is no problem, however.
The Version 2.0 firmware includes a number of channel, effects and routing presets that were contributed by famous X32 artists. These will be loaded when initializing the console's internal library. Make sure you have saved your own presets on USB or via X32-Edit, before you initialize the library!
Enjoy!
Best regards,
Jan
