V1.20 fixes
When overdubbing in
•
SEPARATE
mode with an
MP3 file recorded on a device other than this unit
as the playback file, jumping back and searching
backward or forward (rewinding or fast forwarding), for
example, caused the audio of channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4
to become out of sync. This has been fixed.
NOTE
about projects with overdubbing in
SEPARATE
mode
using firmware versions 1.10 and earlier
If the bit rate of the playback file is one that this unit
•
can use for recording (32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 or
320 kbps) jumping back and searching backward
or forward, for example, will not cause the audio of
channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4 to become out of sync
using firmware versions 1.10 and earlier.
If the bit rate of the playback file is one that this unit
•
cannot use for recording (48, 56, 80, 112, 160 or 224
kbps) jumping back and searching backward or
forward, for example, will cause the audio of channel
pairs 1/2 and 3/4 to become out of sync using
firmware versions 1.10 and earlier. Use firmware
version 1.20 or later when overdubbing to avoid this.
After VSA playback, searching forward or backward
•
sometimes caused the volume to decrease during later
playback operations. This has been fixed.
The sensitivity of the tuner has been improved.
•
V1.10 fixes
If a mixdown was executed when the open capacity
•
of an SD card was more than 4 GB, a
CARD FULL
error would occur and the mixdown would fail in some
cases. This has been fixed.
Operation stability has been improved.
•
V1.02 fixes
If the
•
REC MODE
item was set to
DUAL
and the
SOURCE
item was set to
INT MIC MONO
or
EXT IN 1
on the
REC MODE
screen, the DUAL
peak value in decibels would not be shown correctly
on the recording screen. This has been fixed.
When a file recorded in MP3 format was played back
•
using the I/O loop function, sometimes loop playback
did not occur properly. This has been fixed.
Operation reliability has been improved.
•
V1.01 fixes
If recording was conducted when the
•
REC MODE
item on the
REC MODE
screen was set to
STEREO
or
MONO
, the remaining recording time display
could show less than the actual amount and a
Card
Full
message might appear and recording might
stop even if the SD card still had remaining capacity.
This has been fixed.
During recording with certain SD cards, a
•
File
Error
would occur. This has been fixed.
Operation reliability has been improved.
