A beta firmware version (dfw_180096069.pfw) has now been released for your Pacemaker featuring the following changes (compared to the last official Tonium release Version 14142). This is the first ever official update from the new Pacemaker Music team, congratulations to them for making the Pacemaker live on!
Change Notes:
- Scratching (Vinyl Mode)
Enable it under (Settings, Mix Control, Vinyl Mode). Simply touch the edges of the navigation pad on the Pacemaker to scratch your music. - Beat Lock/Sync Mode
Enable beat lock by holding the P-Button down and pressing Play on the second deck. The second deck will be synced to the same tempo as the first and held there until this process is repeated. - Sync Tempo
Hold the P-Button down and press Cue on the second deck. The second decks tempo will now match the tempo of the first deck. - Beat Jump
Enable beat jump by holding the P-Button down and pressing ‘REW’ on a deck. ‘Beat Jump Enabled’ will be displayed. Repeat this process to jump backward in time in the track or hold the P-Button down and press ‘FWD’ to jump forward in the track. You can change the length of the jump by holding the P-Button down and pressing the ‘REW’ and ‘FWD’ buttons simultaneously. Great for creating a ‘stutter effect’. - Fixed Loop Length
Set Fixed Loop Lengths in (Settings, Mix Control, Fixed Loop Length) and all loops you create will default to that length. - Snap Loops
Set this on under (Settings, Mix Control, Snap Loops) and all loops that are created will be snapped to the nearest beat.
- Digital Output (Play mode only)
Requires an A/V cable (Digital out where video should be) and this mode only works on the line-out channel (Hardware limitation)
- Scratch effects (Vinyl Mode) can’t be saved.
All scratch effects used in a recorded mix will not be saved. They will not be shown in the Pacemaker Editor either when you attempt to edit your mix. - Looping Artifact
Audio from a loop in a previously loaded track can sometimes reappear. - Scratching
Sound quality needs to be improved. - Translations
Wrong translations for other languages other than English. - Legal notice
Requires updating, some listed 3rd party libraries are no longer used.
