Allen & Heath has released a new software suite comprising new firmware and Mac configuration utility software for its mixer/controller, the Xone:3D. The updates include an improved interface for Mac users and greater MIDI functionality. Key to the firmware release is the inclusion of a MIDI merge facility, which enables MIDI data from external devices to be combined with the MIDI data from the Xone:3D control surface and passed via USB to the software.
This new version - v1.10 - also includes :
- Full duplex MIDI
- MIDI Pass-Through
- Internal MIDI clock can now be switched OFF to allow external sync to pass through
- Improved tolerance to out-of-spec computer generated USB audio clocks
- Additional smoothing of auto BPM to MIDI clock generation
- Improved resolution on encoders and jog wheels
v1.10 is available as a free download but you will need to have your Xone:3D serial number to complete the process.
