Symetrix has announced the release of Composer 7.2 for Windows, the latest version of the company’s programming software for Edge, Radius NX, Prism, and Solus NX DSPs. Composer enables integrators to program a complete end-to-end DSP signal path using one application.
Version 7.2 adds a new Emailer Module that enables sending email notification directly from the DSP hardware, triggered by any event in the DSP design. By using commonly available email-to-text gateways, SMS text messages may also be sent.
In addition, amplifier monitoring and control has been added for the Powersoft Duecanali, Quattrocanali, Ottocanali, X4, and X8 amplifiers, and for Panasonic WP-DM9XX amps. This these amps to communicate current, alarms, thermal, and impedance stats directly to the DSP for real-time display on portable and fixed devices.
The number of simultaneous TCP/IP connections Control Server can host has been increased from 6 to 1,000, allowing far more simultaneous users and control interfaces.
A new right click Change Unit Type option has been added that transforms a site file DSP into any other Symetrix DSP hardware type, making it easier to convert a design from, for example, a Radius 12×8 EX to a Radius NX. In-place copy transfers all processing, control assignments, and SymVue control screens that are not connected to physical device I/O. This makes every design file a viable template.
Further, the new UpDown fader type changes any fader images to create user-friendly touch controls for incrementing or decrementing a parameter. Users can edit text in place for buttons, label, and text objects, which is faster and more intuitive than using the Properties pane.
A hot key enables changing font size when designing control screens. A reorganized Toolkit in Site View lines up audio, network, and control tools logically by type. In matrix selectors, the display of the selected input now shows the input name instead of the channel number.
New Composer 7.2 is available immediately via the company website here.
