Pyramix v10.1 projects are not be backwards compatible with the previous Pyramix releases.
In order to open such projects in the previous release, please make sure that you perform the proper Save Special. A Save Special “Save as Version xx” was added to the list.
v10.x Libraries format are not compatible with older Pyramix release as v7.1.
Save as v7.1 is available in the Library menu.
Pyramix v10.0 has a warning message of “Not Enough Streams available”.
This happens when reaching the maximum record inputs available. In such case we recommend that you reduce your inputs number count or disable the Background Recorder that are consuming inputs.
If you afterwards get a constant Message Box “Re-activating Project” at each Playback start, close and re-open your project to avoid this.
Be aware that under the VS3 Control Panel if you have enable the Secondary Device/ASIO bridge or Rewire active, you will consume Streams, disable this option if not in use.
Pyramix Multi channel PreAmps support
Multichannel MCS strips do not support the PreAmps control but VCA strips does.
Make sure that you install the latest Horus Firmware for proper communication.
VST Plugins not seen under Pyramix v10
By default the “\Program Files\VstPlugins” directory will be scanned.
User can select their VST plugins directory by going under the Pyramix Settings>Mixer>VST Plug-ins Settings and adding the directory where the installed VST plug-ins are.
The initialization of third parties VST plugins takes place at the Pyramix Launch and can take a long period of time (Close to 4 minutes for a Waves plugins bundle scan) on the first scan.
Be patient if you see that your Splash screen remains in display.
If a crash occurs during the scanning the VST scan will be automatically relaunched, up to 3 times in a row, if a fourth crash occurs the user will be ask if he wants to relaunch the VST scan.
The faulty plugins dll will be displayed in red.
Force Rescan (From Pyramix Settings>Application>Mixer>VST Plugins) will retry to register the VST blacklisted plugins.
Pyramix v10 – 64bit does support natively 64bit VST plug-ins.
A workaround for VST 32bit plugins users under a 64bit OS is possible by simply installing the jBridge third party application, without running jBridge (no need to create 64bit proxy VST dlls).
32 bit Waves plugins not supported by Merging when using jBridge under a 64bit OS. Please use Waves 64bit plugins in such case.
Merging is not responsible for any eventual instabilities and side effects caused by the use of jBridge.
Background Recorders: Can cause a "Runtime Pure Virtual Call" error crash when removed.
Do not have the Background Recorders that you want to remove selected in the Transport.
Please monitor you memory usage and it might be a good thing to reduce the Pre-Buffering and the track record count.
Take logger buttons do not show up in dialog, Rating icons not visible
Go under Windows Control Panel > System > Advanced System settings.

Timeline and Realtime Sampling Rate Conversion: clicks or noise may occur when doing playback or mixdown
Current limitation of the real time SRC :
When 2 overlapping clips reference the same media with different sampling rate than project, noise will occur on the overlapping section.
Convert those medias to the project's sampling rate, prior to using such a workflow.
Generate CD image will not stop past last Marker if project is in Safe Record mode (MT5625)
Deactivate the Safe Record option.
Library and Media Manager: Copy / Paste not possible if Tab is undocked
Dock the Libraries and Media Manager tabs or use the Edit drop down menu of the Media Manager / Library tab.
Convert: might create gaps at some edit points due to conversion applied
Rejoin the edits with trim.
StripTools: not always opened from "Fx" button on Track Header
Open Strip tools form the mixer and scroll through the display once.
Trimmer: No cursor and playback location possible with some library snapshot
Make sure in Edit menu that the “Edit/Update Original TC On Move ON” is enabled prior to making your library snapshots.
Project Convert DXD to MTFF or FLAC (to 2FS) end with wrong result
This issue does not affect the other file formats, please use PMF or BWF.
Interchange: AAF non-embedded export to Pro Tools 7x could generate "Could not complete your request because an unexpected error happened while trying to find an audio media file’s format" error.
We recommend to use AAF Embedded when exporting to ProTools 7. ProTools 8 is known to be working in such case.
