Firmware Release For Outline’s ‘Newton’
Following its launch at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt in April, Outline noted the availability of a major firmware upgrade for their Newton DSP hub. It is accompanied by a complementary release (v1.6) for their ‘Dashboard’ computer/remote control program. The new v0.76 upgrade includes two layers of IIR filters on every input channel, plus a further two layers of filtering on every output (in addition to the existing four), one IIR and the other a dedicated all-pass, both with phase trace visible via Dashboard. Output channels may now be grouped to facilitate control over multiple outputs simultaneously. 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. Another new 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 now
