Sound Devices MixPre Firmware v3.00 with Ambisonics and binaural recording
  • Changes introduced in 3.00 include:

    New

    For all models:

    • USB control from the Korg NanoKontrol Studio, Korg NanoKontrol2, Akai MidiMix, and Novation Launch Control XL USB control surfaces. Other USB control surfaces are not supported. Includes support for fader, trim, pan, low cut, reverb, solo, mute, track arm, monitor, transport control, LR output level, and user-programmable shortcut buttons.
      Note: available features depend on the control surface being used and whether Audio or Music projects are enabled. For more information, see the USB Controller chapter in your MixPre User Guide.*

    For MixPre-3, -6, and -10T only:

    • Pre-roll: saves up to 10 seconds of audio before the "record" button is pressed. Select up to 10 seconds of pre-roll on the MixPre-10T and 5 seconds of pre-roll on the MixPre-3 & -6. Pre-roll time is reduced at 96 kHz and higher sampling rates.

    For MixPre-3 and 3M only:

    • Phase invert option now available for the MixPre-3. Phase invert is already available for all other MixPre models.

    For MixPre-6 and -10T only:

    • Ambisonics and binaural recording/monitoring (-6 and -10T Audio projects only). Requires installation of the free Ambisonics Plugin available at the Sound Devices Plugin Store.

    For all M models and Music projects on models with Musician Plugin:

    • Bluetooth LE wireless remote control using the Android or iOS Wingman app. Includes 12-track monitoring, mix metering, transport control, time counter, track naming and arming.
    • Support for the new Windows ASIO driver, v2.9.92.1. This enables a MixPre running a Music project to be used as a multichannel USB audio interface with Windows computers. This ASIO driver is required when using the MixPre-3M, -6M, or -10M or when running Music projects in the MixPre-3, -6, or -10T.

    Changed

    For all models:

    • Meter scale now included on Channel screen meter.
