These allow verifying that the Microprocessor and FPGA firmware files in your hardware exactly match the files on your hard disk. You may need to upgrade this firmware as well. As of this writing, the current versions of the SymNet firmware are as follows:. SymNet Microprocessor file: Version Solus Microprocessor file: Version 2. See Why are there two different files? Follow the step under Installation Notes above.
Install SymNet Designer This will copy the necessary firmware files to your hard drive. This is accomplished by using unique port numbers for each device. This allows rapidly adding multiple parameters to the same preset. Finally, the other shortcut keys have been revamped to allow selecting a preset rapidly by number.
Note that preset numbers must be entered as 3-digit numbers for this to work, so leading zeros may be required in some cases. These can be used any place where two signals need to be delayed by independent amounts.
Using these modules saves DSP versus using two separate mono delays. Setting a length of zero disables this feature. This setting is saved in the site file and set on the hardware on a full download. New sites default to a 4 second ramp. After running an Analyze manually, a message box will report the results showing how many of each type of error were encountered. If the Analyze is run automatically as part of a download, the message box will only appear if there are errors to report.
The log file can also be opened directly from Preferences. Previously, the features could only be enabled through registry changes. These new items allow more rapid set-up of control for designs that use super-modules. This can be useful in trouble-shooting control screens. Also stereo versions of the Amplifier and Processor icons have been added. Previously, double-clicking these did nothing. For a complete list, see the SymVue topic in the Help file.
For specifics, see the SymVue topic in the Help file. For example, in a British EQ frequency display, if the control screen shows These rounding discrepancies are visible due to the very high precision shown in EQ frequencies and should be insignificant since they are generally less than 0.
For best results, leave any filters in Q mode if they need to be exported to SymVue. To work around this, first lock the image via the right-click menu. Then hold down the Alt key when wireframe selecting controls. This has always been the case due to limitations inherent to CobraNet. Express units manufactured after the release of SymNet Designer 9.

This will save the file to your local drive. Repeat for all connected units. Upgrade the firmware as described below. Re-download your entire site file to the hardware. Open the site file in SymNet Designer 9. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you may also want to review the release notes from the relevant intermediate releases e.
These can be found on the SymNet web site. SymNet Designer V5. It is recommended that all users of V5. For users who do not use SymNet RS devices, the upgrade is optional. You must upgrade all firmware after installing this release to receive all the enhancements. Various other minor Modular ARC display issues were fixed as well.
ARC-2 firmware version 2. New Microprocessor firmware V5. For users who do not use Modular ARC hardware, the upgrade is optional. If a site file containing a Modular ARC was saved and then re-opened, the following three settings would be scrambled: "Enable locking with hardware lockout input pins"; "Locked when hardware lockout input pins open"; and "Auto-Dim after 30 seconds".
The ARC-2 is similar in look and feel to the original ARC, but includes many enhancements such as more menu items, longer menu text, scrolling menu text, limits on continuous parameters, field-upgradeable firmware, and additional user options.
The ARC-Custom allows for various user-defined combinations of switches and knobs. See the SymNet web site for more information on these products. These room combining modules support background music source selection and a room volume for each room. When rooms are combined, the background source and room volumes are automatically linked. Additional versions of these modules are also available for use with automixers.
These modules can be used in paging applications, allowing the highest priority input source to be selected and routed to the output. Mono and stereo modules with sizes from 4 to 16 inputs are available. These act as a complement to the existing gap-sensing modules. They can sense and adjust for background noise changes without requiring a gap in the foreground audio. It is intended to reduce echoes in simple teleconferencing applications.
It can be found under the Conferencing heading. These very simple modules allow summing mixing two or more audio signals with minimal DSP usage. Think of them as mixers with all gains set to unity. The following channel counts are offered: 2, 3, 4, 8, and This can be enabled on a per-controller basis. Data is sent out whenever it is changed or explicitly requested.
New accessory commands have been added to allow enabling and controlling this feature. This feature enhances the ability to control SymNet devices in more complex network environments. Compressors, Expanders, and AGCs are all improved. This can speed up the process of creating ARC set-ups, especially when custom enumerated menus are used. The copied menu can later be edited and fully customized e.
