RIVAGE PM Firmware V6.61

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 V6.61

• Solved a problem found in V6.60, in which the VSS4HD and NonLin2 plugins did not work correctly.
• Solved a problem found in V6.60, in which some parameters of the following plug-ins – Interphase/VSS4HD/NonLin2, etc. could not be selected for control using the Touch and Turn encoder.
• Solved a problem found in V6.60, in which the Reverb Time of the REV-X plug-in was shown incorrectly.

New features in V6.60

• Added Dynamic EQ6 plug-in.
• Added control of HA parameters for DM7/DM7 Compact.
• Added Digital Audio Labs Livemix Personal Monitor System devices to DANTE SUPPORTED DEVICE list.
• Now supports Waves WSG-Y16 V3 mini-YGDAI I/O Card.

Improvements in V6.60

• When multiple USB memory drives are connected to a console surface, it is now possible to switch between different USB volumes in the SAVE/LOAD menu.
• The default setting of +48V Main on the control surface has been changed to ON.
• The default setting of MONITOR SOURCE DEFINE has been changed to ST A.

Fixed bugs in V6.60

• Solved a problem in RIVAGE PM5 or RIVAGE PM3 V6.01 or later versions, where operating the Fn Encoder Knob to which a parameter such as HA Gain, HPF, LPF or Fader Level was assigned, would cause that parameter to jump to an unexpected value, when any wireless receiver was mounted as a Dante I/O device and wireless control was assigned to that channel.
• Solved a problem in RIVAGE PM V6.01 or later versions where in rare cases, the following error message may have been displayed - “Software Exception has been detected”, when selecting FET Limiter or Diode Bridge compressors for Channel Dyn2, followed by switching the Selected channel from Input to Output whilst in the DYNAMICS1/2 pop-up.
• Solved a problem in which recalling a Dante Preset from Dante Controller PC application software when the RIVAGE PM system contains a high number of mounted Dante I/O devices, could result in some channels being unpatched and HA parameters would not be displayed correctly in the SELECTED CHANNEL and 12-Channel VIEWS. Please note that following a Dante Preset recall, it may take approximately 1 minute for the system to fully refresh all Dante patch and channel HA information.
• Solved a problem with the H3000Live plug-in that caused incorrect metering to be displayed.
• Solved a problem in which recalling a channel library to a channel patched to an RPio input port would cause the HA parameter values to be recalled to a lower-numbered channel, when that channel was patched to an input port of a different io device with the same port number as the original channel.
• Solved a problem in which when a User Defined Key was used as the Trigger of a Macro, pressing the USER DEFINED key would not execute the Macro following a Scene Recall.
• Corrected the default parameter values for the Dynamics type of Matrix channels.
• Fixed a problem in which the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen and the OUTPUT PATCH screen might display incorrect values for the Patch or Port names when a Dante I/O device is patched to an output channel. If the problem has already occurred, it can be resolved by updating to V6.60 or later and unmounting and remounting the Dante I/O device.

Known issues

• When the SAVE/LOAD screen is displayed in RIVAGE PM V6.60, and a USB storage device is inserted, after it is removed the Windows User folder may very rarely be displayed in the folder path.
  • If this happens, the problem can be temporarily avoided by re-displaying the SAVE/LOAD screen in a different bay (not applicable to CS-R3).
  • To otherwise resolve the problem, the console will either need to be rebooted, or reset using the button on the rear panel.
• In a RIVAGE PM system with the Rio series mounted, the Dante INPUT PATCH might disappear upon powering on. Additionally, when this issue occurs, the current HA GAIN parameters on the control surface may be reflected in the Dante I/O devices, regardless of the RECALL SAFE setting. This issue can be avoided by turning on the power of the Rio series before turning on the RIVAGE PM system.
• When a configuration file created with RIVAGE PM Editor, including settings for mounting the Rio series, is loaded into the RIVAGE PM system, the mounted Rio series will remain in “Discovering” status and does not become controllable. However, control over parameters such as HA Gain is still possible. Restarting the power of the Rio series resolves this problem.

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.
