Amp Editor V1.3.3 for Win 10/8.1/8/7 (Previous version)

  • This version supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7.
  • Since this software was not designed to be operated via a touch panel in Windows 10/8, we cannot guarantee operation via a touch panel.
  • Use the Editor with the supported firmware listed in the following table.
  • If you have already installed an older version of Amp Editor, please un-install it first and then install the new version.
  • Amp Editor V1.3.3 supports XMV firmware V1.12 or later. If you are using an XMV unit that has firmware V1.11 or earlier, you must use MTX-MRX Editor to update the firmware to V1.12 or later.
  • Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend that:
  • 1. If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic. 
    2. If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches. 
    * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.

Amp Editor/XMV Firmware/TXn Firmware/ACD1 Firmware Compatibility

Compatibility List

New Features, Improvements

Amp Editor

  • XMV firmware V3.0 is now supported. The XMV firmware is included in the downloaded zip file.

XMV

V1.30 
  • Up to 8 simultaneous external remote control connections are now possible via the NETWORK connector or Dante connector.
V1.31 
  • In the Dante model, Dante Device Labels can be changed arbitrarily and permanently. These changes can be made from the Dante Controller software. 
    However, since the five initial characters are used for device identification (decided by UNIT ID), do not change them they should not be changed. The 6th character and subsequent ones can be changed arbitrarily. 
    Moreover, the following rules in Dante Device Label are common to all Dante devices (and not just this one): 
    • Conventional characters (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase), numerals, or hyphens (-) can be used.
    • A maximum of 31 characters can be entered.
    Before firmware V1.30, if the Dante Device Label was changed, the default Dante Device Label would automatically be re-written when the power supply is rebooted

Fixed Bugs

Amp Editor

None

XMV

V1.30
  • Fixed a problem which caused an output level fade-in, following a 1000 or more second’s wait for an audio input signal to be applied to the amplifier.
  • Fixed a problem which incorrectly set the value of HPF to 40 Hz instead of 80 Hz, if initialization was performed with any pair of output channels set to High Impedance mode.
  • Fixed a problem in which when turning off the power, a popping noise may occur. (Dante model)
V1.32
  • Fixed a problem in which an error was returned and the parameter value was not changed, after a “setn” remote control command was received with a value outside of the specified range. Please refer to the Remote Control Protocol Specification document to check the correct behavior when a value outside the valid range is received.
  • Fixed a problem which incorrectly set the value of HPF to 40 Hz instead of 80 Hz, if initialization was performed with any pair of output channels set to High Impedance mode.

Known issue

  • If the power of the network switch located between the computer and the XMV is repeatedly restarted, there are rare occasions in which the XMV can no longer be recognized from Amp Editor. If this occurs, the XMV must be restarted.

NOTICE

  • It is not possible for an XMV unit assigned to a MTX system to be monitored/controlled from Amp Editor. After an XMV unit has been used within the MTX system, that XMV unit must be initialized if you want to monitor/control it from Amp Editor.
