LCedit+ v3.2.1 released for MacOS, OS X and Windows.

August 18, 2004, Maassluis, NL -

CDS advanced technology bv announces the v3.2.1 release of LCedit+, the advanced LanBox lighting editor, for multiple platforms. This new version of LCedit+ adds, besides bug fixes, new pdf documentation, some new features for the LanBox-LCX, LanBox-LCE and LanBox-LCM. The most important feature is the new v2.01 firmware which adds e.g. fast bulk data transfer via UDP over Ethernet on the LCX and LCE.

** LCX, LCE & LCM users should install firmware v2.01 **

LCedit+ v3.2.1 bug fixes

* On Windows; LCedit does not load your CPU up to 100% anymore.
* On Windows; Re-written TCP/IP interface, which is far more stable.
* Custom Icons can be pasted in groups.
* Wait on step (MIDI quarter beat) is working again.
* Many small but annoying bugs are fixed.

New features of LCedit+ v3.2.1

* Supports up to 3072 channels on a LanBox-LCX.
* New UDP tab in global settings, in order to set UDP broadcast of mixer channels, and to configure distributed universes with multiple LCXs (or LCX + multiple LCEs)
* The working of the cuelist editor is greatly improved, especially for theatre applications.
* LanBox-LCE (mini DMX controller with Ethernet) support is added.
* New manuals in pdf, and updated tutorial.
* New MAX4 examples using TCP/IP, UDP, Serial/USB, MIDI, MSC, SysEx, including new externals for MacOS, OSX, and Windows XP.
* From firmware v2.xx, a firmware upload can also be done via a TCP/IP connection.



What's new in LCX/LCE/LCM v2.01 firmware:


* Firmware v2.01 supports UDP broadcasting, and UDP based bulk data receiving on the LCX and LCE. This makes distributed universes over EtherNet, and high speed bulk communication with third party applications (like MAX, Capture 3D) possible. Capture, 3D visualizer is now standard supporting LanBox UDP.

* Changing the chase speed now also changes the fade speed of the steps.
* Relaxed MIDI controller requirements for the Go command. Controller 21, 53, 86 and also bankselect + program change do not need to be tight together anymore, but can be send at any moment.
