- While recording, the Take List’s Circle option for the Current Take is no longer available.
- Fixed
- Arming paired LR or X1/X2 tracks using the CL-12 LR, X1/X2 pots did not correctly operate on the pairs.
- Track Name entries from Input Settings Window would not hold if that track name already existed.
- Channels turned off from the CL-12 were reverting back to On after a power cycle.
- Some channel fader values, if attenuated to -infinity after power down, are not correctly applied after powering unit on.
- CL-12 Mix Bus Track LEDs could get out of sync when linked.
- When scrolling frequency upwards in the Rx Screen with the Lectrosonics SRc in Normal Tuning mode the frequency jumps incorrectly to the last frequency in the band.
Requirements for Remote Control of 6-Series
Through collaboration with third-party companies—Ambient Recording & Lockit Network GmbH, and Timecode Systems & PureBlend Software—Sound Devices supports wireless remote control of any 6-Series mixer (688, 664, and 633) via web-based and iOS mobile devices. Remote control of the mixers is also supported by connecting these systems to the Sound Devices CL-12 liner fader controller.
For proper integration between a 6-Series mixer and third-party remote control systems, certain hardware and minimum software/firmware is required. For instance, firmware v3.10 or later on the 6-Series mixers is required. Please refer to the tables below for more requirements related to the type of integration.
