AudioCore Ver 8.81 and Preset Memory Allocation

8.81 - for most people, the only difference will appear to be the "1"!

8.81 – for most people, the only difference will appear to be the “1”!

First of all – if any of you have just downloaded version 8.80, then imagine we are the Adobe of professional audio and have just rolled out two updates in quick succession.  This is where the comparison falls apart, as we won’t be doing it every time you turn your computer on 😉

OK so I love Adobe as I love Flash and where would we be without pdfs, never mind Photoshop and Dreamweaver and so on…

This update is to sort out a little bug that most of you will never even witness, but it’s highlighting does allow me to introduce something else to you that you may never have played with…the memory allocation option in AudioCore.

Following up a technical support email which  amongst other things, asked how to import presets into AudioCore, I touched upon the ability for the software to pull presets out of a connected unit.  By “presets” here I mean speaker manufacturer’s settings stored in ROM (so locations 256 and above when you go to recall a “Xover” only).

You get to this through the File Menu > Options and then the Memory Allocation tab...

So when you build a system from connected units and then choose to upload current and memory settings, AudioCore will, in this instance, request the first 40 user memories and then skip to 256 and start requesting the first 60 presets.

The split between these two sets of memories can be adjusted through this option so if you want more user memories and no presets (maybe because there aren’t any installed) you’d choose 100 Memories and “None” for presets – you get the idea…

The bug fix associated with the release of version 8.81 over 8.80 was just to prevent a restart event* occurring if you tried to adjust this option before you had a system in place on screen.  By “system in place” I just mean at least one unit displayed.  This can be a workaround if you don’t want to update right now – make sure you’ve built your system before you access this option…

*there is another name for this type of behaviour – some people call it a crash 😉

      Hi Salek,

      Sorry for the late reply – we have been experiencing website problems recently and have now moved the site to a new server so it should work better.

      We do not have native AudioCore support on mac, but you might like to check out the DP4remote in the appstore for the iPad – this does most of what AudioCore can do.

      We do not won this app or profit directly from it (which is why it ins’t free!) , but we do endorse it and the guy who developed it will be able to help you out with any technical enquiries about how to configure the wireless connection.

      Hope this is of some help,

      Best regards,

      Waring Hayes

      Hi you need to do it in AudioCore – get online to it and choose “Modify Unit” from the right click menu over the device window – the names tab lets you change input and output labels, and the device name.
      Cheers,
      Waring
