DME Designer Owner’s Manual

■

MIDI Setup

• A MIDI Setup minimize function has been added.

■

V1.2 Precautions

• When using project files (*.daf) created by version 1.1.5 or earlier, synchronize from the DME

Designer to the DME unit for the first synchronization.

• Project files (*.daf) created using version 1.2 will not open properly on version 1.1.

Changes from V1.2 to V2.0

■

General

• Support added for DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C, SP2060 units and MY16-CII.

• “Device Groups”, or groups of the same type of device, have been added at the lowest Zone

level.

• It is now possible to have one master device per device group rather than one master device per

zone. This means that it is possible to have multiple master devices in a single zone.

• Group masters can now be assigned regardless of the IP address. This makes it possible to have

multiple device groups at a single network address.

• Configurations can be created and deleted for each device group.

■

Component

• A Feedback Suppressor component has been added. (

page 387

)

• The Speaker Processor component PEQ “Q” parameter now goes to “63”. (

page 427

)

■

Main Panel Window

• Firmware and component data can now be updated simultaneously. (

page 160

)

• A Recovery Update function that allows recovery from program corruption has been added.

(

page 162

)

• A Component Link function that allows simultaneous linking of all component parameters has

been added. (

page 81

)

• Scene Link function that allows simultaneous control of multiple devices in different device

groups has been added. (

page 130

)

• A Protect function has been added to the scene manager. (

page 70

)

• Card settings are no longer included in scene data.

• A Utility window has been added to allow editing of device utility settings. (

page 146

)

• The Local Parameter Link display order has been changed. (

page 81

)

• Parameter Link operation can now be turned on or off for each device group. (

page 81

)

• Compilation and analysis is now possible even if no connections have been made.

• Navigator window hide/show can now be selected from the main window.

• The Event Logger can now display only the event data for a specified device. (

page 65

)

• The GPI terminal names have been changed from [CH] to [PORT].

■

Designer Window

• A hand tool for window movement has been added. The hand tool can be selected via the hand/

arrow icon in the toolbar, or from the [Tools] menu. The hand tool can also be temporarily
selected by holding the spacebar on your keyboard.
