Outline has announced the availability of a major firmware upgrade for the Newton DSP hub. It is accompanied by a complementary release (v1.6) for the Dashboard computer/remote control program.

The v0.76 upgrade is comprehensive, with its main features include two layers of IIR filters on every input channel, plus a further two layers of filtering on each output (in addition to the existing four) – one IIR filter and the other a dedicated all-pass filter, both with phase trace visible via Dashboard.

Output channels may now be grouped to facilitate control over multiple outputs simultaneously including group ‘flat’ where all parameter values within the group are reset to zero, and it is now also possible to create temporary links within input and output channels.

A new copy-and-paste function allows complete sets of parameters to be copied directly from one Newton unit to another, while a further feature allows all processing parameters from a single unit to be set back to flat if required.

Both new software and firmware versions can be downloaded from the App Store.
