This is version 1.18 of the ADAT-HD24 Firmware. This release adds additional support for manufacuring. This release also fixes a bug where pressing [STOP] in between punch points from a master sync device while auto-recording would cause the next PLAY command to re-enter auto-recording mode on the slave HD24s, rather than play mode.
It also fixes a second bug where record-enabling a track (where previously no tracks were recordenabled) after [RECORD] was pressed from the master sync device while in autorecord mode would cause the slave HD24s to not actually record audio even though its record LEDs are steady Specific information for this release can be reviewed in the Release Notes.
