Midas Version 1.11 for XL8

Share this Post:

Midas’ latest software upgrade for the XL8 Live Performance System, free to XL8 owners, includes a comprehensive new feature set targeted specifically at theatrical applications.
Most digital consoles will perform crossfades between two snapshots: a timed transition between two fader positions.

The new XL8 v1.11 software allows the user not only to crossfade fader levels on a global basis, but to configure one or multiple groups within each snapshot recall, which can fade up and down, and at different rates of change.

These ‘morph’ groups can be used perform the more common fader transitions, but other console parameters such as bus sends and pan positions, including surround imaging, can be programmed to morph between two states, as automated timed events.

Fade-in and fade-out times can be configured separately, and specific ‘switched’ events – ie mutes – can be triggered at the start or end of each morph process.

Hardware provision in the form of a jog wheel is included for quick user intervention to speed up, slow down or pause the morph process at any time during a transition.

The new XL8 v1.11 functionality will also be available to PRO6 owners.
