RIVAGE PM Firmware V6.11

RIVAGE PM Firmware / Editor / StageMix Compatibility

Follow the version compatibility chart in the link below to make sure that all firmware versions are compatible with CS-R10, CS-R10-S, CSD-R7, CS-R5, CS-R3, DSP-R10, DSP-RX, DSP-RX-EX, RPio622, RPio222, RIVAGE PM Editor, RIVAGE PM StageMix, and MonitorMix when you operate the RIVAGE PM system. Using an unsupported Editor/firmware combination may result in unexpected behavior.

For TWINLANe network cards to be updated simultaneously with their host device (HY256-TL, HY256-TL-SMF), install them into a corresponding slot. If any additional cards are installed after performing the update, please execute the update program again.
To update a Dante card (HY144-D, HY144-D-SRC), use the Dante Firmware Update Manager or the Dante Updater of Dante Controller.

RIVAGE PM/DM7/CL/QL/R/Tio/DM3 Compatibility

Dante I/O Supported device information

Fixed bugs in V6.11

• Fixed a problem where Channel Dynamics parameters in the console’s current state might be changed in RIVAGE PM V6.01 when a console setting file created with firmware prior to V5 was loaded into V6.01. This could happen regardless of Recall Safe and Focus Recall settings.
• Fixed a problem in which, when either HY144-D or HY144-D-SRC cards were inserted in HY Slot1 and multiple Dante I/O devices such as Rio-D2/D were mounted, control of HA gain, patch settings, etc. might become disabled.
• Fixed a problem where Channel Dynamics parameters might be changed to the default values when an Actor Library saved on firmware prior to V5 was recalled to V6.01.

Changes in V6.10

• Adds support for a new internal circuit board due component changes. Product produced with this board has a "B" marked next to the model number on the serial number label, and these products cannot be downgraded to firmware versions earlier than V6.10. This applies to CS-R10, CS-R10-S, CSD-R7, and CS-R3.
• 
• Changed the display color of some error and warning messages.

Improvements in V6.10

• Added support for the latest variants and frequency ranges of Shure RF products (QLX-D, ULX-D, AXT Digital).

Fixed bugs in V6.10

• Fixed a bug that caused distortion when using the FET channel compressor on specific stereo channels in multiples of 6 (channels 6+7, 12+13, 18+19 and so on).
• Fixed a problem in which the gain metering of the Dugan Automixer was incorrectly displayed.
• Fixed a problem with the DaNSe effect plug-in in which audio parameters edited following the LEARN function being activated, would result in delayed processing of those parameters. The application speed of the LEARN function itself has been shortened.
• Fixed a problem in which the mouse pointer would appear when editing plug-in parameters by touch-and-drag even when no mouse was connected.
• Fixed a problem in which touching a knob of a plug-in would unintentionally change the parameter value.
• Fixed a problem in a RIVAGE PM V6.01 system with DSP-RX where BPM values were not synchronized with plug-in parameters such as DELAY TIME even if the Sync button of the plug-in was switched on.

Known issues

• A problem has been found in RIVAGE PM5 or RIVAGE PM3 V6.0.1 or later versions where operating the Fn knob to which HA Gain, HPF, or LPF is assigned can cause the parameter to jump to an unexpected value when a Shure wireless receiver is mounted as a Dante I/O device. Please do not assign these functions to the Fn knob.
• A problem has been found in RIVAGE PM V6.01 or later versions where in rare cases the "Software Exception has been detected" error message may appear when selecting FET Limiter or Diode Bridge for the Dyn2 channel and switching the channels from Input to Output on the DYNAMICS1/2 pop-up screen that can be displayed by pressing the DYNAMICS field on the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW. If this occurs, press the [RESET] switch on the control surface.
• A problem has been found in a system with multiple Dante I/O devices mounted on the RIVAGE PM, where some channels appear to be unpatched and their HA cannot be controlled from the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW when a preset file is loaded from the connected Dante Controller PC application software. However, the HA can still be controlled from the Dante I/O device control screen, and audio is processed without any problems. This can be resolved by rebooting the HY144-D and HY144-D-SRC from Dante Controller.
• A problem has been found where the Dante INPUT PATCH may disappear on power-up in a system with a Rio series mounted on the RIVAGE PM. This problem may also cause the Dante I/O devices to reflect the current HA GAIN parameter settings of the control surface, regardless of the RECALL SAFE setting. This problem can be avoided by powering up the Rio Series first and then the RIVAGE PM
• A problem has been found where the mounted Rio series remains in the “Discovering” state and does not become controllable when a configuration file created in the RIVAGE PM Editor that contains settings for mounting the Rio series is loaded into the RIVAGE PM system. The HA Gain and other parameters are still controllable even in this state. This problem can be resolved by restarting the Rio series.

Notices in version updating

• When updating CS-R5 from V4.00, the touch panels may not respond when the update is completed. If this happens, skip the proper shutdown procedure and turn the power switches off and back on again. The console will operate normally once correctly updated to V5.00.
• When updating console or DSP firmware, the progress bar may stop or the update may close with an error. If this continues for 10 minutes or longer, turn the power to the device off and on, and then retry the firmware update.
• It is not possible to update DSP-RX(-EX) when using DSP Mirroring and the engine is in ‘Standby’ state. Please set DSP-RX(-EX) to ‘Active’ state and then proceed with the update.
• The project file saving method has been changed from V1.20.
  When loading a project file saved by V1.16 or earlier, the patching of plug-ins may be unintentionally removed. If this happens, manually patch them again.
• When loading a project file saved by V1.21 and earlier, the RACK Focus status indicator on the SCENE screen may not light even if effect plug-ins or GEQs are the target of Focus Recall. To indicate the Focus status properly, open the SCENE SETUP (FOCUS) pop-up screen once, and then close it. After doing this, save the revised project file to remove this problem in the future.

Notices in version downgrading

• Do not load a project file saved by V1.51 and later to a system running V1.21 and earlier. When loading, all plug-ins will be un-mounted in all Scenes including the current memory. In this case, re-mounting and setting up of parameters will be required.
• When downgrading the firmware, be sure to initialize all systems after downgrading.
• When loading data including the MixToInput settings of the V3.00 system, the MixToInput function will work in RIVAGE PM systems even of less than V3.00. However, be careful of the possibility of unwanted signal loops, etc.

Notices for usage

• The RIVAGE PM can only play back MP3 and WAV files whose file name is no longer than 60 single-byte characters or 20 double-byte characters excluding the extension. Please note that a file name exceeding this limit will not appear in the list on the RECORDER window.
• An error dialog “Console Network ring connection open! Check cable connection.” may rarely be displayed when the sampling rate is changed on the WORD CLOCK screen. However, it does not affect the actual operation.
• When INPUT patching is performed with the maximum number of channels of the HY256-TL or HY256-TL-SMF card exceeding 256, it appears to be correctly patched but no patch is established and no audio is input.
• In rare cases, a “DSP Disconnected!” message could be shown. If the message appears, take the following course of action:
  1. Re-Sync manually. Check this first for the fastest possible recovery (Doesn’t apply to RIVAGE PM7).
  2. If that doesn’t solve the problem, use the [RESET] button on the back of the console (Operations 1 and 2 do not mute the audio).
  3. If that doesn’t solve the problem, restart the console.
  4. If that doesn’t solve the problem, restart the DSP Engine (Doesn’t apply to RIVAGE PM7) (Operations 3 and 4 mute the audio).
• If you recall a Scene in which a very high HA gain was set, from a scene having a low HA gain, even if no signal is patched, a very loud pink noise signal is occasionally output for a few seconds.
• When a certain type of USB keyboard is connected to the console, the following message may appear:
  You must restart your computer to apply these changes [Restart Now] [Restart Later]
  If this message is shown, remove this USB keyboard. It is not compatible with the console and cannot be used. The console does not need to be restarted.
• When a DSP mirroring failover occurs and the DSP engine B is set to active while the DSP engine A is the word clock leader and is still powered on, the Word Clock leader will not change automatically. To prevent audio dropouts, do not turn off the power of the DSP engine A even after a failover occurs.
• The channel name LCD cannot display unsupported characters such as Japanese kanji used in the Dante channel labels.
• If there are multiple DSPs in the same TWINLANe ring, or multiple HY144-D or HY144-D-SRC cards in the same Dante network in one DSP, only one of the cards should be enabled for SYNC TO EXTERNAL and that card should be set as the PTP LEADER.
• The Dante Domain Manager (DDM) SMPTE flow is displayed as AES67 to patch. There is no problem in the actual operation.
