Memory Register Changes (MX-View)
The MX now has 255 memory registers. The following changes were also made to MX-View.
Changed the image for the memory register on the Time Ruler (wider to accommodate 3 digits).
Always display up to 255 registers (even if MX is set to only display 100). The MX always has 255,
it just limits the front panel to 100 (2 keystrokes) or 255 (3 keystrokes).
To capture or navigate to a marker, always enter 3 digits (Marker 2 requires entry of 002).
The markers window has been expanded to allow for 255 markers.
When capturing or navigating to a marker in multi-machine mode and without using TL bus or
Timecode chase, the only machine affected is the one with transport focus. i.e. - the machines are
treated individually.
Changed the logical rotation order when capturing markers to match the MX. When a new marker is
captured, the current list of markers is searched for the first empty marker. If markers 0 through 10
are created, then markers 3 and 7 are deleted, then next marker created will be 3, then 7, then 11.
Basically, the holes in the marker list are always filled first before adding to the end of the list. Once
all marker numbers have been used up (0 to 254 on the MX), the next marker number will rotate to 0.
Edit Enable (MX-View)
Applies to multi-machine mode only (multiple machines in one edit window).
Note that in the following, "undo" is used for undo or redo (they are affected the same by this change).
A new machine level button (undo Enable) has been added in the machine buttons area. The button is an
"E" within a circle, very similar to the online button ("O" inside circle). This button is both a control and
an indicator. If ON, when an edit is performed (from the edit menu, the keyboard, or the toolbar), the edit
command is sent to that machine.
If this indicator is off, that machine is disabled for editing. In other words, with multiple machines, only
those machines that have the "Edit Enable" button ON (enabled) will receive edit commands.
Clicking on the button will toggle it to the opposite state, allowing the user to actively control the
ng of Undo/Redo for that machine.

MX-View is now more "smart" about sending Undo/Redo to multiple machines in an edit window.
Whenever an Undoable command is sent to the MX, the "Edit Enable" status for that machine is turned
on (enabled). Likewise, if a global command is given (e.g. - "Cut" is selected from the Edit Menu), but
only one machine has edit enabled tracks with selected events, then only that machine's "Edit Enable"
button status will be turned on, and all other machines will have their Edit Enable buttons disabled. The
end result is that for normal workflow, Undo and Redo commands will now be sent selectively to the
correct machines.
It is no longer necessary (or even possible) to control which m
sent by changing the transport focus in the transport window.
In the Transport Window, a new "Edit" button will be visible when there are multiple machines in an edit
window. This button works the same as the "Onl
