Hi Klaus, and the Behringer Support Team out there..

i'm having EXACTLY the same problem!
kernel panics on every MAC i could possibly try with. Strange things also happened when i tried to install the unit on a Windows machine. I could not install the drivers (the installation stalled @ roughly 90%)... i could not update the card's firmware, Windows did not recognize the unit at all.
BTW, i was trying this on new machines - with Windows 7 installed on them. I had my uncle by my side who's a computer specialist and he told me to contact Behringer.
I've sent the unit back for replacement and haven't received a new unit by now.

Klaus, where did you get your X32core from? I purchased mine in Austria from a dealer named "Musik Lenz".

Maybe i also should have mentioned that i operate an original X32 via USB or Firewire without any problems so far.
On the Behringer website, in the forum, there exists a small thread about this problem with the new X32core (including my person):

Computer won't recognize XUF card on new X32 Compact

It seems, that the problem has not been solved right now.

Maybe someone has an idea about how to solve this problem really?

I got a PM stating the problem is confirmed - only with Mac OS 10.6.8 -

edit : Windows too

and that RnD is working on it...

Testers required for Sonar 8 Surface Plugin for X32

I'm a software developer who's currently between roles, so in my downtime, I've written a Sonar 8 (32-bit) surface plug for my Behringer X32 console and I'm looking for a few testers.

This is a proper surface plugin rather than the Mackie emulation that the X32 supports, so all faders are used.

The code isn't production ready, so expect a few crashes and teething issues and don't use when recording live ! There is no installer yet, so you'll need to be happy copying and registering DLLs, although I'll provide details on what to do.

It's configured as 16 channel + 8 bus surface (with bank switching). So far I've got these bits working: faders, strip names, mute, solo, input trim, play, stop, bank switching.

Any takers?

Good news, Klaus.
Thanks for your answer. I was a little surprised when i got the unit first :?~:-?~:???: because everything worked fine except this USB thing. With my original X32 - which i'm proud of - everything is fine so far. The USB section also.
Hope RnD will also check the situation on Windows OS. It was impossible to install the drivers and it was also impossible to upgrade the USB-card's firmware.
Let's see. Behringer will fix this. They are doing a great job so far!

Best regards to all.

Dear Tom,
Are you sure you downloaded the correct USB drivers for your X-USB card? On the X32 Product Pages, there are USB drivers for both X-UF and X-USB. You need the driver listed for X-USB, version 1.67. The firmware update you mention does not apply to the X-USB card, only for X-UF. If this is not your issue please reach out via PM so we can resolve it.

How to sync an x32 device to ext. wordclock ?

Not sure if syncing to ext. wordclock is needed... ( resampled anyway ? )
But if, how to do that ?
I'm trying to 'prepare' for the announced interface cards, i.e. ADAT i/o
but the same applies for the current interfaces cards, how is the computer / interface card / X32 syncronised to a common wordclock ?

( X32core, S16, X32-Edit )

Thanks for hints

and best regards to all

Klaus

Thank you very much John for your quick response.
I will definitely check this out. I just have to wait for my new unit as the previous one was sent to music group germany for exchange.

best regards,

Re: Strange X32 Problem

Hi Joe,

Am still awaiting this info to come in via PM. We are fast approaching our busiest time of year, and having a console down is a slight concern. Obviously due to our remote location carrying out a reseating job inhouse is much preferred as opposed to freighting a console overseas for service. I look forward to the instructions arriving. I've also PM'd John, with no response so far. I can also be emailed, [email protected]. Cheers :)
 
Midas Pro2 w/DL251 @ X32

Gotta show coming up this December where the Monitor engineer wants to use a Pro2 with a DL251. Can I link my X32 (FOH Duty) to the Midas via AES50. If so would I need to run the 251 @ 48k?
 
Re: Midas Pro2 w/DL251 @ X32

Since the Midas can only run at 96K, the only possible way to do it is if the DN9650 Network Bridge will do the conversion to 48K, but I don't know offhand if it will bridge different sample rates between AES50 networks since it is conceptually a bridge between AES50 and other networks.

Dear All,
As Per points out, the MIDAS PRO Series cannot directly interface with X32 over AES50 because of the difference in sample rate. MIDAS PRO consoles only operate at 96 kHz, while the X32 Family is at 44.1 / 48 kHz.
Using the DN9650 isn't an option as there is no configuration for AES50 > AES50.

In the future, when the new MADI and Dante cards are available for the X32 and the DN9650 is updated to work at 48kHz, this could be an option. One could go X32 MADI > DN9650 with MADI Card > MIDAS PRO.

Re: Midas Pro2 w/DL251 @ X32

Seems as if the DL251 can run at 48k as pointed out below:

Overview
The DL251 is a 5U 19" fixed-configuration rack I/O unit with 48 mic/line inputs and 16 mic/line outputs. The DL251 is limited to analogue connections only and provides a more cost-effective solution for those not requiring the flexibility of MIDAS modular I/O hardware.
MIDI (in, out and thru) and one Ethernet control port are fitted as standard. Three AES50 ports handle the (n+1) redundant digital audio interface. The DL251 is capable of being switched between 96 kHz and 48 kHz via a front panel switch.
On the rear panel there is a Mute All Outputs button for onstage re-patching. The unit is also equipped with dual-redundant PSUs.


What gives? Should I try it first ask questions later.....
 
Re: Midas Pro2 w/DL251 @ X32

Dear Chris,
While the DL251 can run at 48kHz, when it is in that mode it will not be able to interface with the AES50 ports on MIDAS PRO consoles because they run exclusively at 96kHz.
The purpose of this 48kHz mode is so that a stand-alone digital snake can be created in combination with a DL252 using a single CAT5 cable.

Mute inconsistency

Found a bug. Messed with my head for a couple of minutes. Mute any channel, make sure a channel is selected. Now go to Sends on Faders. You can see the channel is muted. Now select any mix in the master section. Where did the mute go? Select any channel and the muted channel will be shown as muted again.

Why would a channel that is muted not always show as muted?

X32 Ver. 1.15​
 
Re: Mute inconsistency

So you can mute each send separately? Somehow that sounds off. The channel is muted. Sending no sound to any output. So therefore it would be muted for each send already. If I were to select a mix and then mute the channel your explanation would make sense.

No you can actually mute each channel in an aux individually.

Re: X32 Discussion

Got that. But if I have already muted the channel it has muted all output from that channel. So it should show muted for each output. Why would it show that it would pass signal if I have muted the channel before switching to Sends on Faders? I can understand the each send mute when in master section, but if it has been muted before Sends on Faders it should show muted. If I make a change while in Sends on Faders there isn't a change as the channel is muted. That is how I found this "bug".

It's not a bug merely an unexpected feature. Most consoles can do this but I can't think of why. Turning down the channel in the aux is often easier than muting the channel in the aux especially when you have both the mute on and send level all the way down. In this case it is two steps to get the aux on.

I don't know why you would expect the led to reflect overall channel mute status when in sends on fader mode; clearly as you have noticed the mute leds indicate channel mute per aux in this mode.
