Re: Firmware v1.10 Release Notes

Love the XControl UI, this is a much better user interface than the XiControl, its way more intuitive... Are there plans to incorporate this kind of UI to the XiControl in the future ???

Dear all,

We have just released version 0.9 of the XControl PC software that matches the latest 1.10 firmware and now features full functionality.

Warm regards

Feature request

Hi,

I do may want to much with this one, but I would really like to see this:

- possible source for the 6 matrix busses from the input channels (likely to use them as aux sends) this is also what some yamaha consoles do.

also a great feature would be:

- logic link for linking two consoles (solo select, solo clear, recall etc.) for the case if two desks are cascaded.

thanks,

Tamas

Re: New Firmware

Lame

Not lame at all. Choirs are usually taught to understate or lisp their "esses" (and their "t's") so that they don't stick out in the sound of the choir as a whole.

Wait a sec who's talking about a choir i mix about 600 bands a year at the house gig i do and a desser is a very nice thing to have.

When you have band's that have singers that cant sing or don't know even how to sing correctly in the mic or you have a singer that cups the mic so on and so on.. But we do have good bands that singer know how to sing..

I don't know where a choir came into this post when i mix rock bands not an orchestra.. ROFL

I was just wanting to see when it was coming out and people out here just jump right down my throat cause i just asked..

You have a nice day..

Spending the boss's money is a slightly different story, but he's not keen on paying a premium to have a partly eaten fruit logo.

Re: Recording effects into a DAW

The issue you are having with XControl is because USB functionality has not yet been implemented, you need to connect via the Ethernet port labeled REMOTE CONTROL. In addition, there is a separate USB port next to that Ethernet port that will eventually be used for interfacing with XControl via USB. This is completely different from the USB interface on the XUF card, which is why your XUF control panel worked while XControl did not.

If you still are having trouble please send me PM so we can assist.

Best,
John DiNicola

This is odd as XControl worked on two different PCs before. I'm a bit confused now.

And what is your PM email John? Sorry I could not see it.

Uli,
I suggested this via the "X32 problems and feature suggestions" thread over at the Behringer forums, but don't see it implemented in 1.10... I think you guys are really missing the boat by not having an option to have the selected channel follow the fader being touched / moved. Being used to that function from mixing on Yamaha consoles, I can't say how many times I've found myself editing the wrong channel on my X32 simply because I forgot to hit the "select" button on the current channel. On the Yamaha's you just touch (or wiggle) the fader of thchannelel you want, and bingo! The channel is automatically selected for you. For those who don't want the select to follow their fader moves, there would be ab option in firmware to enable / disable the function. I see it sitting in Setup, on the Global tab. Right under "Select Follows Bank" it would say :Select Follows Channel".
Hope your devs decide to include this in 1.11 or some such version.
Regards,
Mark

I thought you were suggesting that the idea of having singers lisp their "esses" was lame. So I pointed out that choirs are often asked to do that so the esses don't build up. It was just a comment. De-essers are very useful and it's great that the X32 now has one.

Hello Uli,

I assume that updated osc/midi documentation will follow soon as well?

Very cold regards (we got LOTS of snow two days ago and have had temperatures below -14degC!),

New Firmware - no read-only scenes

It seems that my request for read-only scenes has not been implemented into the new firmware. I think this is a great pity, and it will mean that I won't be able to spec an X32 for one of my venues. Their new console will probably have to be a boring old 01V-96!:roll:

I would like to hear from Mr. Behringer, if possible, or someone else involved in these decisions, as to why they don't think this is important.

Thanks,
Mick Berg.

Re: Firmware v1.10 Release Notes

Been attempting to update firmware. Getting to checking integrity and it fails. USB stick formatted to Fat32 and zip file extracted onto it. Fails every time. I have been upgrading since 1.06 and not had these problems. Is this why it took this long to release this upgrade?

My guess is that the scenes per definition becomes read-only when they've finished implementing the administrative/operator privileges for the console.

Re: S16 and XiControl gain not working

So, has anybody with an S16 had a chance to see if the iPad gain works. Once I connect an S16 and select it as the input, the iPad "gain" changes to a trim control and doesn't do anything.

Just hooked up my s16`s... same issue over here. no gain control from the ipad.. bug ?

So have you tried downloading the firmware more than once? If there's corruption in the download, it will fail every time, no matter how many times you try.

Have you tried a different USB drive? It might be a hardware issue there.

<snark>Yes, I'm sure that Behringer delayed firmware v1.10 because they were having trouble getting the firmware upgrade to take. They thought that if they waited long enough then nobody would care anymore. </snark>

Agreed. While I have no experience with the X32 I can say with certainty that digital consoles are fickle about the USB drive used to update firmware. With Yamaha, USB sticks that work fine for recording (LS/9) or storing console configuration files (M7) *might not* work for firmware. Not sure why, nobody at Yamaha has said, but I went through 4 different sticks before I found one that always worked.

Nobody's jumping down your throat. My comment was maybe a bit flippant or whatever, but controlling your sibliants and plosives isn't exclusive to choir singing and has got everything to do with good singing and mike technique. Telling your singer to control certain aspects of his/her singing is legitimate and certainly not lame. I totally get that a de-esser is a usefull tool, particularly when you want the vocal to have exessive bite and clarity without it sounding totally ridiculous.
I teach singers to use mike technique and vocal tricks to improve the sound, and that can be so much more effective than trying to fix it later in the chain. When someone spits and boom their "p" and hizzes their "s", you can put all the filters in the world in there, try other mikes, put windshields and pop-filters on and get to an acceptable result, and sometimes that is your job, but don't scorn other solutions, because sometimes they work, and that is why peole are suggesting them, not to annoy you.

And for not knowing that you mix rock bands and not choirs or anything else, please forgive our ignorance, if I or anybody else here had realized it was THE Randy Martin, we would not have made such a silly mistake. Please don't get your shirt dirty rolling on the floor.

Re: Firmware v1.10 Release Notes

Mick -

Sorry to disagree with you about the "fader-select" option, I feel it's not only unnecessary, but a hindrance to good mixing. Because you personally have become accustomed to something doesn't mean it's proper or vital. Yes, I bought one of the first LS9-32s to hit the US in 2005, used it for over 5 years and regularly used the auto-select function - until the final time I EQ'd the wrong channel. Why remove the ability to mix faders while performing adjustments on a given channel strip? Why risk merely bumping or accidentally touching a fader and being inadvertently re-selected?

If you are forgetting to select a channel before making its adjustments, I suggest that's a personal problem, not a problem with console function.

If Behringer sees fit to add an auto-select option, fine with me, but the importance of this feature is minimal at best, IMO.
