Dear X AIR friends,

We are happy to announce that we can now offer PC, MAC and Linux versions of our X AIR EDIT application 0.5.1 beta, for controlling the BEHRINGER X AIR mixers remotely, and performing firmware updates easily.

Yes, there are some known issues, and maybe some yet to be discovered While we are still working on substantial feature updates and fixes for X AIR EDIT in parallel, we want to make sure everyone can benefit from its present features, now!

PC: http://www.behringerdownload.de/XAIR/X-AIR-EDIT_PC_0.5.1.beta.zip
Mac: http://www.behringerdownload.de/XAIR/X-AIR-EDIT_MAC_0.5.1.beta.zip
Linux: http://www.behringerdownload.de/XAIR/X-AIR-EDIT_LINUX_0.5.1.beta.tar.gz

We have also uploaded an update to our X18/XR18 firmware, version 1.08, which fixes a couple of glitches that were addressed in this forum.

Firmware: http://www.behringerdownload.de/XAIR/X18-XR18_Firmware_1.08.zip

The updates will be reflected on behringer.com, soon. However, please feel free to download from the links given above, check it out and let us know what you think.

Dear X32 Users,
We are pleased to announce that new versions of X32-Edit and X32 Mix are now available, as well as a 2.04 Firmware update for X32 consoles. You can find the updates here: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/X32.aspx#softwareContent

X32-Mix 2.2 is now available in the Apple App Store.

The software versions mentioned above are all working together and we recommend updating all of them. The only exception being unfortunately iPad 1 users, who have no choice but keeping the old app and staying with console firmware 1.15.

Please be aware that we strongly recommend backing up the internal data of the X32 console on a USB thumb drive before updating to the new firmware. The upgrade process may reorganize the internal memory and erase all previous show/scene data. Restoring old show/scene data from USB on the new firmware is no problem, however.

The Version 2.0 firmware includes a number of channel and presets that were contributed by famous X32 artists. These will be loaded when initializing the console's internal library. Make sure you have saved your own presets on USB or via X32-Edit, before you initialize the library!

We hope you enjoy this significant update to the X32 and apps!

Dear All,
While we are busy with adding many more great features to our X AIR mixers (including Mute, Fader and Auto-Mixing Groups), we are excited to share the first X AIR EDIT 0.5 Beta with you later this week. X AIR EDIT is an X AIR mixer remote control and editing application for personal computers. It provides full remote control for all the BEHRINGER X AIR series mixers (X18/XR18/XR16/XR12), and also features a fresh new GUI approach that was conceived especially for touch-based operation. Enjoy intuitive and responsive parameter control, scalable window size, plus independent pop-up windows that can remain open while editing the main Mixer window.

As you can imagine, we are very excited about the whole X AIR project and we will continue to upgrade the mixer firmware as well as its remote applications over the coming weeks and months. This means that there will be continuous updates to our X AIR apps for Android smartphones/tablets and for Apple iPad, so stay tuned. We have been told that the first XR18 mixers have just arrived at Sweetwater, but if you are not among the first ones to get your hands on one of these X AIR mixers, make sure you check out the X AIR EDIT offline editor to see how BEHRINGER X AIR Mixing will change the way we mix in the future.

Please let us know what you think about our new X AIR mixers and share your live experiences! You can find more information on the X AIR app from our website: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/XR18.aspx

Dear all,

We're very pleased to announce that a new firmware update (v1.7) for the DL32 Stage Box is now available as a free download on the Midas website.

http://bit.ly/DL32_firmware_v1_7

The firmware update 1.7 for DL32 adds performance improvements and new features to the I/O box operating system. This new version improves AES3 (AES/EBU) status bits, adds MIDI remote control of head amps and prevents clicks when using the Mute All Outputs function with very high subsequent gain.

The firmware update can easily be done via USB using a Windows PC/laptop computer. Please follow the update instructions at the end of this document.

This new DL32 Firmware version contains:

New Features
• Hold the MUTE button during power-on to disable the fan
• Version 1.3 with increased fan voltage to support new fan model
• Version 1.5 includes aes/ebu validity and status bits changed (fixing no-sound issue with Lab.gruppen iPD series)
• Version 1.6 adds MIDI preamp remote control (as in DL16)
• Version 1.7 Mute all function changed to digital mute, only

MIDI Remote Control
• Note: The DL32 will only accept MIDI controls when its preamps are not controlled from
a console (i.e. M32 series) already
• When DL32 is connected to any AES50 clock master that does not control its preamps, (e.g. Lynx AES16e-50), then its rear panel MIDI input allows controlling head amp gain and phantom power
• Rx/Tx on MIDI CH01 CC80...95, 0-19 > Input 1-16, Gain, 2.5 dB steps, -2.5 dB...45 dB
• Rx/Tx on MIDI CH01 CC96...111, 0/127 > Input 1-16, Phantom power, on/off
• Rx/Tx on MIDI CH02 CC80...95, 0-19 > Input 17-32, Gain, 2.5 dB steps, -2.5 dB...45 dB
• Rx/Tx on MIDI CH02 CC96...111, 0/127 > Input 17-32, Phantom power, on/off

Requirements:
Windows (WinXP or higher) PC with USB connector and administrator account required for running the updater executable (DL32update_1-7.exe)

Update Process:
1. Download and unpack the updater zip file from midasconsoles.com on your Windows PC
2. While the DL32 is switched off, connect its USB port to your PC using a standard USB cable (type A -- type B)
3. Upon powering up, the DL32 will detect the USB connection and wait for the update
4. Make sure you have started your Windows session with Administrator access, then start the DL32update_1-7.exe
5. The terminal window will inform you about the update progress. Wait approximately 1 min until it shows completed
6. Disconnect the USB link and switch the DL32 power off / on

MIDAS M32 V 3.04 Firmware

The M32 Firmware Update V 3.0 features performance enhancements to the MIDAS M32 operating system. The Version 3.0 firmware adds automixing with Dugan-style gain sharing on two independent groups to the input channel 1-8 processing. Mixing speech oriented events such as boards or panels, presentations, corporate or worship events from MIDAS M32 has never been easier. The automatic mixer algorithm dependably distributes the total amount of gain among the assigned channels in the same group, considering their speech level, fader level and the adjustable weighing factors. The speaker with the highest combination of volume, fader level and weighing factor will receive higher gain in the mix, while the others would be attenuated by the same amount, ensuring a stable low background noise floor without any gating/ducking artifacts. The update to 3.0 also allows you to control the MIDAS M32 remotely using Behringer X-TOUCH control surfaces via Ethernet network or MIDI, directly.

MIDAS is constantly adding new features and making enhancements to this extremely stable operating system, so that you always experience the best possible performance from your M32. Visit midasconsoles.com and check for updates regularly.

Note: It is recommended that you backup all data (export Show and Libraries to USB) before updating, as a firmware upgrade may erase data currently stored on your M32. Please be aware that firmware 3.0 is required for our new M32-Edit 3.0 on PC / Mac / Linux computers, preferably in wired networks. Connect the M32 to a Wifi router for controlling it wirelessly with M32-Mix 2.3 or higher on Apple iPads (min. iOS 7), or with X/M32-Mixingstation for Android (min. 4.0). Note that automixing control will be supported on the iPad in a future release of the M32-Mix app.

ENHANCEMENTS
• Supports new X32-EDIT 3.0 remote control application for Win/MacOSX/Linux/RPi2

NEW FEATURES
• NEW Automixing option for input channels 1-8 with adjustable weighing and metering

• 2 independent automix groups available to cater for separate source groups or zones

• Channel scribble displays indicate the automix group assignment “X” or “Y” in channels 1-8
