Updating further the many V2.0 features and additional functionality within console automation, V2.1 further enables VCA group deployment, with pressing of the SELECT button on a VCA deploys the VCA group members on the console surface. Switching between input-driven and mix-driven Fader Follow is enabled at a touch of the screen. It is now possible to view and access single input channel contributions to multiple busses, or a single bus' contributions from multiple inputs when in Fader-Follow mode.
New features already incorporated in version 2 software - launched at Prolight+Sound in March - include individual channel section isolation and global automation safe in the console snapshot automation, as well as snapshot-specific recall filtering. Other unique new features include pre/post VCA aux send options and auto-assign VCA options.
Other performance enhancements in version 2.1 also include remote stagebox auto-detection and real-time diagnostics, with the console automatically displaying connected I/O type and connection status. Additional functionality for the user-assignable keys includes enabling Mute Group buttons to be configured to provide instant access to FX pages or tap-tempo delay programming.
Version 2 software is multilingual, currently supporting Chinese, English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian Spanish and Danish, allowing the user to label the console in their chosen language.
