  • 14.1.0 Beta 1 : 5.1.2 / 7.0.2 / 7.1.2 / 9.1.2 busses/strips plug-ins

    Some VST3 plug-ins inserted on x.x.2 busses (5.1.2, 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 9.1.2) where instantiated as Stereo only.
    This was due to the definition of .2 in Pyramix being Top Front Left and Top Front Right channels where these plug-ins were expecting Top Side Left and Top Side Right.

    Four new speaker layouts have been added to solve the issue: 5.1.2 Side, 7.0.2 Side, 7.1.2 Side and 9.1.2 Side. These layouts should now be used for inserting such plug-ins.

    Former 5.1.2, 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 9.1.2 layouts have been preserved for compatibility and renamed 5.1.2 Front, 7.0.2 Front, 7.1.2 Front, 9.1.2 Front.

    Both are properly supported by the Atmos ADM Export feature and export either Top Front or Top Side depending on the selected type.

    When importing an Atmos ADM, 7.1.2 and 7.0.2 do create a Top Side configuration now.

  • 14.1.0 Beta 1: Dolby Atmos Master Export - Options - Force Main Bed to 7.1.2
    Force Main Bed to 7.1.2 (14.1 Beta 1) - Generates the main bed as 7.1.2 whatever the bus configuration, as requested by Universal Music.
    Note that this does not modify the audio, the additional Bed channels will be empty, and the Top and/or Wide channels will remain as Objects, as in previous Pyramix version.
  • 14.1.0 Beta 1: Mixer Dolby Atmos Advanced dialog
    Audio Routing Options:
    • Connect starting with First Audio Output with optional Offset - to route all busses and objects to regular audio outputs. An offset is now offered to allow to keep the first audio outputs channels for other purpose, like monitoring, then use the followings for connecting to the Dolby Atmos Renderer.
    • Connect to MT ASIO Bridge - to route all busses and objects to the MT ASIO Bridge outputs. This is useful for MassCore users willing the run the Dolby Atmos Renderer in the same computer as Pyramix. Dolby Atmos Renderer version 5.0.0 and above is required.
      Native users willing the run the Atmos Renderer in the same computer should preferably use the MAD Bridge.
  • 14.1.0 Beta 1Bus/Group Solo Safe improvements:
    Mix Bus:
    Solo Safe protects any input strip sending to that Bus from being muted when soloing any other input strip. (Unchanged)
    Mix Group:
    Solo Safe protects any input strip sending to that Group from being muted when soloing any other input strip. It also protects the Mix Group Return Strip from being muted when soloing any other strip.
    When Solo Safe is not enabled, the Mix Group Return Strip is automatically protected anyway when soloing any input strip sending to that Group, but not when soloing any input strip not sending to that Group.
    (Changed as described above since 14.0.6)
    Aux Bus:
    Solo Safe protects any input strip sending to that Bus from being muted when soloing any other input strip. (Unchanged)
    Aux Group:
    Solo Safe protects the Aux Group Return Strip from being muted when soloing any other strip. (Unchanged)
  • 14.1.0 Beta 1 : Archiving Metadata
    A set of predefined values can be set in the registry in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Merging Technologies\Pyramix\ArchivingMetaData\ PredefinedValues as String entries where the names of the strings are the predefined values for the Value field.
    XTOC metadata can be generated along with the ArchivingMetadata using the following registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Merging Technologies\Pyramix\ArchivingMetaData.  Add a DWORD “Include XTOC” = 1
  • 14.1.0 Beta 1 : AAF Import Performance
    AAF Import performances improved in case of large existing media manager or libraries
    Global media cache (Media_Library_.pml) is automatically updated when loading Pyramix.
    Existing quick mount libraries (QuickMount7_.pml) in every media folders can be re-created by refreshing the media folders manually. This has however lower impact on the performances than the global media cache mentioned above.
