Value and GUI changes: - EQ ON/OFF switch available in mobile view and not only in desktop view. - Input Gain/Trim changed from +/-10dB to +/-15dB. - Input clip detection changed to -0.5dBFS. - VU meters now have scales, peak hold, and peak hold value. - Mono/Stereo buttons changed and moved next to the VU meters. - Other minor GUI changes and bug fixes. Bug fixes: - DSP updated while amplifier in standby. - Speaker Preset Customization. - Speaker Preset cannot use non-ASCII characters. ----------------------------------------- Version 1.2.0, released 03-10-2022 New features: - Added internal speaker library for storing speaker presets, found under the settings tap. - Improved API for better 3rd party control capability. Value and GUI changes: - RMS limiter now adjustable in 70V and 100V mode. ----------------------------------------- Version 1.1.1, released 01-10-2022 New features: - All speaker-related parameters (speaker EQ, driver alignment, crossover, etc.) are now moved to a sub menu called speaker preset. - Speaker presets can now be generated, imported, and exported. During export it is possible to choose which blocks are included in the preset and which blocks are protected (and thereby invisible after loading). Blocks that are not part of the preset or not protected can be edited by the user – examples of non-protected blocks could be “Polarity” or “Crossover”. - Added a switch to the speaker EQ settings to show the combined speaker EQ and crossover response. - Butterworth 36dB/octave and 18dB/octave high pass and low pass filters are added to the crossover section. - Low shelf 6dB/octave and High shelf 6dB/octave filter types are added to the EQ and speaker EQ sections. - Low shelf 12dB/octave and High shelf 12dB/octave filter types are added to the EQ and speaker EQ sections. - Low pass 6dB/octave and High pass 6dB/octave filter types are added to the EQ and speaker EQ sections. - All Pass (1st order) filter type are added to the EQ and speaker EQ sections to complement the All Pass (2nd order) filter. - Each output now supports loading an FIR filter up to 512 taps (48kHz) to be included in the speaker presets. - The output limiter section has been improved with RMS limiters to complement the peak limiters. RMS limiters are typically used to protect the connected loudspeakers from thermal overload. - The output limiter section has been improved with Clip limiter “disable”. This is normally only used when designing subwoofer presets where the load is well known, and the designer adjusts the system to avoid overload. - WIFI client mode supported. Value and GUI changes: - Maximum Q of parametric, Notch, Lowpass and high pass filters changed from 10 to 30. - Driver alignment enable switch default changed from enabled to disabled. - Zone Compressor parameter hold time is added. - Output limiter name changed from “Limiter” to “Peak limiter”, (function is unchanged). - (peak) Limiter maximum attack time changed from 50ms to 100ms. - (peak) Limiter maximum release time changed from 1000ms to 2000ms. - (peak) Limiter knee parameter is added. - Equalizer name changed from “Equalizer” to “EQ”. - Other minor GUI changes and bug fixes.
