As part of on-going 20th anniversary celebrations planned for 2016, RME have issued several updates to both drivers and firmwares, as well as TotalMix FX for iPad.
These updates include numerous new features and an improved FX section within TotalMix FX, RME’s popular monitoring solution, which is part of all currently available interfaces. Echo and Reverb have been completely reworked. Eight new reverb types have been added and the existing ones have been given improved tonal character, higher density and better fade out behavior. The echo effect has been given an adjustable high cut and supports being operated with BPM values. In addition, many small improvements in usability have made working with TotalMix FX even more efficient and pleasing.
RME interfaces with a dedicated DSP, like the Fireface UFX, UCX, 802 or the MADIface XT, need a firmware update to support these new, improved FX and to be able to deliver them in stand-alone mode. In fact even more firmware updates are available, as RME have added several improvements to Class Compliant mode and normal operation. Additionally all USB devices are now compatible to the Corning USB 3 optical cable, which is not only a perfect USB 3 cable for the MADIface XT, the world’s first and most advanced USB 3 audio interface, but also a good, long cable for USB 2 operation.
Improved MADIface series driver
The MADIface series driver, currently supporting MADIface USB and MADIface XT, now supports 32 samples as the smallest ASIO buffer size. Also the sophisticated WDM device configuration found in the HDSPe series driver has been implemented. It gives free choice of activated WDM devices/channels as well as free selection of one or more speaker devices, perfectly addressing the needs of professional users in broadcast and television.
TotalMix FX version 1.31
TotalMix FX for iPad version 1.31 has been released in the App Store and incorporates the new FX. In combination with the latest firmware updates all interfaces that can work with the iPad now support internal Loopback and switching the EQ/Dynamics in and out of the recording path.
Various other surprises planned to celebrate 20 successful years
RME will continue to release exceptional updates throughout 2016 to make it a year to celebrate for all our customers.
