1.8.1 Operation
The M32R offers functionality for playing back uncompressed stereo WAV files,
and for recording any stereo signal in the console directly onto USB stick or
compatible USB hard drive. Note - multi-channel recording is only available via
the DN32-USB card.
To record to a USB stick, perform the following steps:
1. Plug a FAT-formatted (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) USB stick into the USB port
as illustrated above.
2. Press the VIEW button in the RECORDER panel. This will then display a
graphic representation of an analogue tape deck on the Main Display
home tab.
3. On the config tab you can select the source of the recording , the
default being the main L & R outputs.
4. Press the fifth push encoder, labelled Record.
5. To adjust the volume during playback, press the AUX IN/USB button
next to the input channel faders, and adjust the volume using AUX
faders 7 & 8.
1.8.2 Firmware Updates
The M32R firmware can easily be updated by performing the following steps:
• Download the new console firmware from the M32R product page onto the
root level of a USB thumb drive
• Plug the USB thumb drive into the front panel USB connector while the
console is turned off
• Hold the USB View button depressed while switching the console on.
While booting, the M32R will run a fully automatic firmware update,
which will take 2-3 minutes longer than the regular boot sequence
When no update file is available on the USB drive, or when it is corrupted,
the update mode will remain active, preventing the M32R from booting
regularly. Switch the console off and back on without holding the USB View
button to boot the console with the existing firmware.
The USB socket is not suitable for other non-memory USB devices like keyboards,
mice, lamps, etc.
