Menu 570-Waveform Record
With the 3.01 release, it will be possible to use your MX-2424 recorder with the new graphical
user interface, "MX-View", which among other things, will display audio waveform data of MX-
2424 recordings.
Turning Menu 570 to "on" allows the MX-2424 to record waveform data along with the audio
files. Thus, when a project is loaded into MX-View and its waveforms are displayed, there is
minimal delay since the waveform data was already "computed" when the recording took place.
It is important to understand that creating and drawing waveforms uses RAM. In general,
Waveform Recording should be set to "off" if you are experiencing "Memory Low" messages
and the machine’s RAM has not been upgraded to the 256 megabyte module. You could also
leave Waveform record turned off if you do not plan to use MX-View at any stage of your
recording
After loading MX-2424 software version 3.01 the MX-2424 will default to "off" for waveform
recording. However, when MX-View software is launched for the first time, MX-View will
automatically turn waveform recording on.
Menu 211: New Title & Function for "Auto Unload On/Off"
In previous software versions, menu 211 was titled "Auto Unload On/Off ". If Auto Unload was
turned on and the MX-2424 was in "Loop record" mode, it would unload each new track it
recorded to be manually loaded at a later time.
With version 3.01, Menu 211 has been re-titled to "Auto V Track On/Off" and its function has
been changed as follows:
If MX-View is not being used, Loop recording with Menu 211 set to "On" will work the same as it
has previously. If MX-View is being used and menu 211 is set to "On", the MX-2424 will
automatically create a new virtual track with each record pass, and place the recorded audio in
the new virtual track. Virtual tracks with MX-View are not the same as unloaded tracks. Please
refer to the MX-View Operations manual for details of the new Virtual Track operation using MX-
View.
Menu 035: MTC Full Message
This new menu enables/disables the presence of MIDI Time Code "Full Messages". These are
periodically transmitted messages that occur when the generator output is muted (using menu
,
030)
The presence of these messages is normally intended to provide a display update in a
connected MTC device, as opposed to synchronization information. Disable these messages if
he MTC receiving device, such as a digital mixer, is unable to handle them correctly.
