Maintenance items
V1.21 fixes
If loading a file fails during playback in timeline mode,
•
playback will continue with silence instead of stopping.
If PreRec was ON and recording was started from “00:00”,
•
recording would stop and a “
RECORD stopped. ABS
time is over 24h
” pop-up message would appear.
This has been fixed.
When recording with the
•
SYNC T/C
screen
SETUP
page
TC GEN MODE
item set to
REGEN
or
JAM SYNC
,
the precision of the start time added to the file at the
time of recording has been increased.
When the
•
SYNC T/C
screen
SETUP
page
TC GEN
MODE
item was set to
TIME OF DAY
, if the unit’s
internal clock was adjusted, the time code generator
did not chase the time after the adjustment. This has
been fixed.
When a PPL file is imported, even if there are
•
mismatched entries (entries with missing files), the
remainder of the entries are now properly registered.
In some cases, marks could not be added to files that
•
had not been created by this unit. This has been fixed.
When reconfirmation pop-up messages for various
•
operations appeared on the
CF Manage
screen, the
physical key bindings were reversed. Pressing the
ENTER key would cancel the operation, and pressing
the EXIT/CANCEL would execute the operation. This
has been fixed.
Pop-up messages would not disappear in some cases.
•
This has been fixed.
In dual playlist mode, when changing operation mode,
•
for example, before the playlists had been saved, saving
was confirmed for the A and B playlists separately. Now
saving both A and B playlists is confirmed at the same
time.
If you use a
•
e
button on the
PROJECT
screen to load
a project with a different Sampling Rate or Timecode
setting, the values shown for the
Total Time
and the
Take Length
of the session were incorrect. This has
been fixed.
