< Maintenance items >

  • The MODULE (INPUT/OUTPUT) screen has been redesigned.

This allows for easier monitoring of multiple assigned output ports, especially in the MODULE (OUTPUT) screen.

  • Specifications have been changed so that functions set to ON in GPIO-IN/Foot Switch can be turned ON/OFF using the physical buttons, User Key, and screen buttons on the main unit.
  • The lower limit of the THRESHOLD value for DUCKER has been changed from -30 dB to -60 dB.
  • When turning on the main unit, GPIO-OUT with assigned User Key OUT would not output as set. This has been fixed.
  • The Snapshot Lock state would not be saved in All System Data. This has been fixed.
  • When loading a non-MAIN L/R registered All System Data file to the master module, the master module would change to MAIN L/R. This has been fixed.
  • Data was not updated after overwriting a file with the same name when exporting All System Data. This has been fixed.
  • When connecting the Sonicview to a Windows PC via USB, some noise would occur at the start of playback in some applications. This has been fixed.
  • When the sample rate on a Windows PC was set to 96 kHz and a sound source was ​playing on it, if the Sonicview was turned on/off audio was not output correctly while the sound source was being played. This has been fixed.
  • The GPIO-IN/Foot Switch pin input state was different from the GPIO-IN/Foot Switch pin input state when starting up the main unit and when reading All System Data. This has been fixed.
  • When a stereo module was assigned to the Compressor and Ducker Key In Source, the Key In meters and gain reduction would operate in mono. This has been fixed.
  • When backing up All System Data to a USB flash drive, all System Data could not be backed due to an insufficient capacity alert. This has been fixed.
  • After backing up All System Data to a USB flash drive or SD card for the first time, files were not displayed when the RESTORE screen was opened. This issue has been fixed.
  • Specifications have been changed so that SOLO is turned off after Factory Reset and All System Data Load.
  • After Factory Reset, Paste MODULE or UNDO/REDO would be performed. This has been fixed.
  • The User Key did not light up in the following case:

When the SB-16D's GPIO-OUT port is set to Local and the corresponding GPIO-OUT port is assigned to Parameter 2 of LED Indication > GPIO-OUT in the User Key setting of the Sonicview main unit. This has been fixed.

  • When setting SB-16's GPIO-IN performance mode to "ALL Local", the Sonicview GPIO-IN would also operate. This has been fixed.
  • When an SB-16D was mounted to the Sonicview, regardless of the settings, all SB-16D GPIO-OUTSs would turn to OPEN. This has been fixed.
  • Improved meter display.
  • Operation stability has been improved.
