Zack Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 No Zack! The Nomad is soooooo six months ago. Looks like you're right Justin, I see two nomad user ideas in the 2.0 Maxx update notes. I would be a lot less bothered by this if we nomad users could get some kind of official statement that the nomad will get them as well very soon.

Jack Norflus Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Looks like you're right Justin, I see two nomad user ideas in the 2.0 Maxx update notes. I would be a lot less bothered by this if we nomad users could get some kind of official statement that the nomad will get them as well very soon. It is easier for Howy to write the code and implement it into Maxx's platform and debug there than to write it for Nomad. After writing it for Maxx and debugging it there makes the transition into Nomad is fairly easy - it is just that Howy hadn't optimized it for Nomad yet. So yes Zack as previously posted Maxx 2.0 features, as well as several future ones, will be implemented in Nomad. I am not sure the exact time frame due to the holidays - but it will be soon.

Zack Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Let me reiterate, which jack explained as for why already. I'd be less bothered if the nomad ideas came out on the nomad first, not a different device, but whatever Merry Christmas all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be less bothered if the nomad ideas came out on the nomad first, not a different device, but whatever Merry Christmas all I'm sure the Deva/Fusion owners, who paid almost twice as much for there machines would love things like Neverclip or auto mix.

Derek H Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Looking forward to testing the new features. I'll be using the extra track inputs immediately. Also, I'm looking forward to the new auto-pan mode. I wonder, will it work somehow along with the V-faders for the new A5 and A6 inputs? Jack, I was using your Peter Engh p21 to make the Maxx a "5 input" mixer which was working out okay but this will be a much better solution. You've been testing this software for awhile I gather, do you have any tips or known issue to share? Stable so far? Thanks to the Zaxcom team for a very useful update.

When you have the virtual faders on and the auto trim meter for input 5 is visible you will be able to autopan that input. The same is true for input 6. Auto pan is a pretty cool feature and I think it will help with some peoples concerns about the lack of individual pan knobs. Derek I would be curious to hear your thoughts on autopan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efksound Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm sure the Deva/Fusion owners, who paid almost twice as much for there machines would love things like Neverclip or auto mix I remember when the Nomad came out, Fusion/Deva owners had exactly the same feelings, and we were told that since there where "sharing" the same programming platform, a feature for one machine could be possibly ported to the other...you know the rest of the story I don't expect Neverclip, because it's hardware based and won't get automix either But still would like to see some of these features : Controllable output levels Assign card/disk tracks to outputs Limiter activity shown in meters Option to name files with Scene/Take info Option to have Mirror sticky Give a function to the wireless button (on the Fusion) Fix zaxnet gain bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 ... Fix zaxnet gain bug What's the "Zaxnet gain bug"? (asked by Deva owner, not Fusion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efksound Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 What's the "Zaxnet gain bug"? (asked by Deva owner, not Fusion). When you try to control the TRX900LA gain using zaxnet (with a IFB100) with the virtual faders on the Fusion you can only go up to 32db max gain on the TXs but the TRX900LA can go up to 52db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks for the explanation. I wonder if it's the same on a Deva. I'm guessing "probably," as they share code. I'll try it some time to see. I use the Deva's main faders (as opposed to the virtual ones) to control transmitter gain, but that's on a cart where levels can be controlled by the mixer.

But as for Neverclip, I know it's hardware based. But wouldn't it be great if Zaxcom said, Hey all you Deva/Fusion owners we still love you. Send it your units and we will upgrade them with Neverclip at no extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Send it your units and we will upgrade them with Neverclip at no extra cost. I dont remember anyone asking that Nagra might upgrade my Nagra 3 to a Nagra 4, or my Nagra 4 to a Nagrs 4S, or my Nagra 4S to a Nagra 4S TC, or even my Nagra 4S TC to a Nagra D. This is a ridiculous concept. If you had a SD744T would you have expected that SD upgrade it to a 788? The simple fact is that the hardware is different. As I understand it Neverclip requires completely different A to Ds than those that are designed into Deva and Fusion. Have very merry Christmas to one and all.

It would have to be a complete redesign of the entire unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually aware of that. I had checked into it when I had a Fusion. I was being a smartass. But you won't have to worry about that on here anymore with me. Have a Merry Christmas all.
