If you can locate it easily, I'd appreciate it very much. We clicked on
the update options and were told we ahd the latest version. Your
instructions for what to do once you have the file seem very promising, and
we'll try them. Rob, my partner, can help me get through that--he's the
one with the functioning eyes...

Hi there the version of the firmware is 10.5 or something of that nature. You are looking for the file which is titled Project Mix 1_0_5Win32.exe. This file is needed to update your firmware, and must be installed before running it. I caution you though you'll need assistance in doing the firmware update, as I have found the firmware utility to be in accessible, unless I can find a way in which to script it. If you can't seem to find it I can send it off to you.

Michael, this sound interesting. We thought we had the latest firmware--went to the website and everything, and we didn't find anything that looked newer than what we have. Do you know what version your firmware is? We'll try again.
Gudrun At 05:30 AM 4/19/2006, you wrote:Hi Gord did you try updating the Firmware, I had the same issue when using the midi inputs as well. After updating the firmware though I didn't have this issue any more. As far as the scrubbing I noticed that after updating the firmware that it somehow seems to work better. I'm not familiar with the Transport from Frontier Design so I wouldn't know about the scrubbing feature. One more thing after updating the firmware, you need to set upt the Project mix so that it actually works in Sonar.
To do this
1. you need to download the Firmware update package found on M-audio's web site, and install it.
2. when running the Project Mix Firmware you need to get some sighted assistance in helping you update the Project Mix.
3. After updating the Project Mix, you next to hold down the aux 5 button while hlding the in and out buttons. Note: this feels like pressing the braille .
While holding these three buttons turn on the unit, and waite for about a minute or so while the units switch in to sonar mode.
4. turno off the Porject Mix and turn it on again, and you should be set to work properly in Sonar, and the sscrubb feature should work a little better. Hope this helps.

Well, I noticed a couple of other things too. The scrubbing doesn't work really, not nearly as well as it does with the frontier transport. And in all of the alt configurations, I nefver saw where you could adjust the gain of the four bans of eq. And of course there is the problem with the midi input. It didn't work when I tried installing Gudrun's on my laptop either. It was as if some buffer was getting overloaded, and we were using a good Kurzwiel keyboard with it. I did get the feeling that the mic pre's were quite good, and you could get the latency down really low.

** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-Hi,
I really liked the Project Mix that I had on evaluation. The only drawback
that I found (and it was enough for me to not keep it), was the way that the
Aux buttons worked - one press of Aux 1 would set up the rotary encoders on
the channel strips to do one thing. A second press got them to do something
else and so on. Others may not find this to be a problem but I found that I
lost track very quickly as to how the encoders were configured. A real
shame as, if the firmware were written differently, M-Audio could have
achieved the same result without using nested "pages" of setup by using
Shift+Aux1, Alt+Aux1, Shift+Alt+Aux1, etc.. The shift and alt keys exist on
the unit - I'll be raising this with my M-Audio rep to see if it's possible
to get the change into a future release.
Cheers.
Tim

I worked with Gudrun's project mix i/o last week and my initial impression
was that the project i/o software is quite accessible and could be scripted.
I certainly didn't explore it in home row or anything like that because I
was in the middle of training Gudrun, but I've certainly seen a lot worse.

Hi guys and gals on list. I know that Lew also has a Project Mix, my question is as follows 1. How were you able to update the Project Mix to the latest Firmware? and 2. In your opinion is the control panel on the porject Mix scriptable? I've been trying to fidle arround with reclassifying the windows, and trying to use the homerow feature to try and find my Window but Jaws reports that the Child window, nor the parrent Window can not be found. I just finished taking the script writing course in St. Peter's Burg, and of course at this time I'm no experct, so that's why I'm seeking advice. Let me know.
