Chapter 3 - Previous releases
64 Version 1.6.2a.0 May 17, 2011
Added new Duplicate Special... command (CTRL+SHIFT+D) which allows a user to
specify the orientation (horizontal/vertical) and number of copies to create.
New Devices
Added the Signal Probe device. The Signal Probe works across a set of NioNodes
connected by XDAB, and allows the end-user to dynamically monitor any wire or device
wiring node.
A Wave File Recorder device has been added. That's right - you can now record wave files
as well as play them. The number of channels that can be recorded simultaneously on a
NioNode has not been fully determined. We also probably need a scheme to protect
against the NioNode running out of disk space while recording - proceed with appropriate
caution.
Added a Huge Mixer Controller device. This virtual device provides a single set of send
controls that are mapped, by pressing a select button, to the array of send controls in a
(potentially) big mixer made up of multiple mixers, each producing some of the outputs.
Added an Auto Group control device. Place this inside a hierarchical block and all of the
read-write controls from the other devices inside that hierarchical block with the same ruid
will be automatically grouped together. Use this to make stereo or multi-channel devices
where all channels share the same settings.
Note: This does not work very well for graphic equalizers.
Added a Register control device. This multi-channel device latches the values of the input
controls on the rising edge of the clock input and sets the latched values to the outputs on
the falling edge of the clock input. This is useful from creating certain kinds of logic (like
state machines) that are otherwise difficult due to race conditions.
Added the Control Router device.
Improvements
Modified X-Control Device to work with the automatic control wiring assignment.
Modified PageMatrix device to be able to generate versions with more than 16 paging
stations. The PageMatrix hardware only supports 16 stations, but many people use the
PageMatrix device without the hardware and might need very big devices. The maximum
is now 99 stations and 99 zones.
Note: Large PageMatrix devices can take several minutes to generate. NWare may
become unresponsive during this time.
Improved error reporting of sample rate mismatches in compile results.
Improved error reporting of wiring between NioNodes without XDAB.
Endpoint hover text is now shown when wiring to make it easier to tell what you are wiring
to.
Project compile settings now validate property values so that dangerous values are
disallowed.
Increased the default attack time of the Limiter from 100us to 10ms in order to avoid signal
distortion.
Previously, if only one NioNode was wired to an XDAB, the compile would succeed, but
during runtime XDAB failures would cause the NioNode to mute. Now the compile will
fail with a message ...only one NioNode wired to this XDAB....
Fixed warning messages when NWare is launched after ControlManager has been run as a
service on the same PC.
