Faster "Catch Up" Times for Long Recordings
In previous software versions, the MX-2424 would require a long time to "process" the audio it
had recorded during a very long take. After recording a long concert event in one long pass, the
machine would be in a "busy" state for several minutes while it finished writing all the data to
disk.
With version 3.01 software, the "busy" time in these situations has been dramatically reduced.
You will notice as much as a tenfold improvement in post-record processing times.
Miscellaneous Enhancements
Tape Mode Now Stored In User Default Settings
With version 3.01 software, the MX-2424 can now store Tape Mode Status (Menu 200) as part
of a User Default setting. The machine can now automatically boot up into TapeMode.
Negative and "Double Positive" Timecode Locations
Previously, when rolling back over the SMPTE number of 00:00:00:00, the MX-2424 would
incorrectly increment backwards from 24 hours.
With version 3.01, the MX-2424 will now display timecode as a negative number rather than a
positive number when it rolls backwards over 00:00:00:00
By using the +/- key (Shift 0), it is possible to enter and locate to a negative timecode position
directly. Such values may also be captured and stored in any of the timecode registers (In, Out,
etc) or in a memory location.
NOTE: The MX-2424 does not permit recording or editing prior to zero. If the playhead is
currently in the "negative region" and the machine is put into record, the MX-2424 will wait until
it reaches zero before actually recording. The record LED will flash quickly to indicate this
special "record-pending" state.
When rolling past 23:59:59:29, the MX-2424 will now attach a "+" sign to the beginning of the
timecode display to indicate that the transport position has moved into the next 24 hour period.
These "+" numbers may be captured, located to, and stored in a memory location. Unlike the
egative numbers, it is not possible to enter them manually.

Although the MX-2424 will allow recording beyond 24 hours, you can not do any editing or MX-
View automation before or after the 24-hour range.
Larger File Lengths in HFS+ mode
Version 3.01 software now allows the user to record single files as large as 12 gigabytes, if the
record disk is in the HFS+ format. This allows a single file to be approximately 12 Hours at 96K /
24-bit, and approximately 24 hours long at 48k/24- bit.
