New function

V1.02 addition

A new filter function has been added for the purpose of enhancing the sound quality of the mic inputs.

This new function allows you to boost sound frequencies of 400 Hz and below. By using this function, you can record low frequencies with greater richness. The following changes have been made with the addition of this function.

The “LCF” icon (third from left) at the top of the Record Screen has been changed to “FILT.”

On the INPUT SETTING screen, the “LOW CUT” (LOW CUT FILTER) item has been changed to

FILTER.”

On the INPUT SETTING screen, the “FILTER” item setting parameters now include OFF, +400Hz,

-40Hz, -80Hz and -120Hz.

NOTE

The –40Hz, –80Hz and –120Hz still function as before, cutting frequencies below 40, 80 and 120 Hz, respectively.

Maintenance items

V1.01 changes

A bug that caused the LINE input level to be fixed and prevented REC LEVEL volume changes when level control was set to “AUTO” has been fixed.

A bug that caused “Write Timeout” to appear when recording an MP3 file at 48-kHz sampling frequency has been fixed.

A bug that prevented recording from continuing correctly after using the track increment function when PRE REC was set to ON has been fixed.

A bug that prevented recording an MP3 file from continuing correctly after pausing and resuming recording has been fixed.
