Changes in Version 1.54
The following changes have been made to MX-2424 software in Version 1.54.
• Improved FAT-32 Performance and Reliability
• Maintenance Change to ViewNet Import Audio Files at Original Time
• Improved Network Reliability
Improved FAT-32 Performance and Reliability
Maintenance changes have been made to increase FAT-32 performance and reliability. With Version 1.54, playing
back imported WAV audio created on a PC as well as TapeMode projects on a FAT-32 disk now works properly.
On rare occasions, previous versions of software could have caused white noise on playback. Version 1.54 also
further prevents parse and write errors from occurring on FAT-32 disks. Other enhancements have been made to
accommodate fragmentation of track files and more reliable unmounting and remounting of volumes.
Maintenance change to ViewNet Import Audio Files at
Original Time
Performing an Import at "Original Time" of a non-time-stamped audio file now works properly.
Improved Network Reliability
Maintenance changes have been made to the MX-2424 networking functions for increased reliability with ViewNet.
Known Version 1.54 Issues
Using ViewNet 1.51 for Audio File Transfers and Project Smart Copies: Whenever performing audio file
transfers or project backups and restores, make sure to close all other applications. The transfer of audio
files and project using Ethernet is an intensive operation for the Java run time engine.
Performing a Smart Copy of a TapeMode Project: When performing a Smart Copy of a TapeMode project from a
MacHFS disk to a FAT-32 disk, or from a FAT-32 disk to a MacHFS disk, do not use the Verify function. Due to
the nature of a TapeMode project, certain bits will change when the project is copied from one disk to another.
Verify will identify these changes and will fail. Workaround: You can either perform a Smart Copy with Verify
Off or perform a TapeMode convert of the TapeMode project (the latter will be more time consuming).
