DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—External machine control
Snapshot recall
When a snapshot is recalled, MIDI Control Change
messages are output, which correspond to the new
settings of the following:
•
Faders
•
Mute status
•
Pan controls
Additionally, when a snapshot is recalled using
MIDI, that snapshot is now shown as the current
snapshot in all screens.
External machine control
Play (MMC)
When operating an external device
controlled by an open MMC loop, the command sent
when the
PLAY
key is pressed may now be selected
between Deferred Play and True Play.
As a result, it is now possible to use the
PLAY
key to
control a number of DAW applications and HDR
machines using an open MMC connection.
Track arming
On the
MIDI/MC SETUP
page, there is
a new parameter at the top right of the
MACHINE
CONTROL
section (
RecFn
).
Set this to either
TRUE(40h)
or
MASKED(41h)
. Previ-
ously, only the
TRUE(40h)
command was used, but
units such as the Mackie HDR-24/96 and MDR-24/
96 require the
MASKED(41h)
setting. The DM-24 is
now fully compatible with the Mackie recorder
family.
Transport Lock
Pressing the
2ND F.
and
STOP
keys together locks the transport keys. This is useful
to stop accidental playback or recording when you
are leaning over the DM-24 adjusting parameters.
Press this key combination again to unlock the trans-
port keys. The popup changes
Internal MIDI Time Code generator
The
DM-24 now has its own generator, which can be used
with DAWs, etc. which do not respond to MMC
commands. By slaving them to MTC from the DM-
24, you can use the transport keys of the DM-24 to
control these DAWs.
