Additional Functions (For details, please refer to the supplemental version <supplemental version for version 1.30>)
USB-HOST now supports USB flash drives, and the following functions have been added.
(1) Supports Audio playback of BWF files recorded on USB memory devices.
(2) USB flash drive is added as a copy destination for file copying.
(3) Added BGRD USB mode to Auto copy mode, which copies to USB flash drive in the background.
(4) USB memory stick is supported for future version upgrades.
(5) USB flash drive can create up to 32 folders (including bwff) in addition to the standard bwff folder created at the time of formatting. This expands the maximum number of files per partition to “250 files x number of folders.

Changed operation specifications
The operation of “file copy” was changed so that it copies files differently depending on their file names. Until the previous version, if a file with the same name as the file to be copied already existed in the destination folder, “_” was added to the beginning of the file name and the file was copied. The result is that All select is always selected. As a result, All select is always selected so that only files that have not been copied can be differentially copied. Note that if the same file name already exists in the destination folder and you want to replace it with a new file, you need to delete the file from the destination folder beforehand.
The menu screen can now be accessed while the menu screen is displayed (except for some menus).

Bug Fixes
When formatting a DVD-RAM disc, the address of the disc was read out differently than when writing to the disc.
Fixed a bug that the system hangs up when an ADL file is created and renamed when there is no song file in the partition.
Fixed a bug that GMT Offset setting was not set correctly at power-on.
Fixed a bug that search of FF and RWD was not set to the maximum speed of 100 times.
Fixed a bug that the buffer memory data might be corrupted due to abnormal termination or some other reasons when writing, and HDD might suddenly enter the state of “Unformat”.
When SYSTEM MEMORY is erased and the system is started up in a state where the settings are undefined, SYSTEM MEMORY is automatically set to the default settings.
Fixed a bug that TC start value sometimes had an abnormal time and TC display sometimes displayed abnormally when defualt TC start was set to 16:00 or more at a frame rate of 23.97 or 29.97.
When an ALE File was generated with a frame rate of 23.97, the Start and End times were calculated at 24 frames.
This has been corrected so that the correct 23.97 frames are calculated.
Cliping detected!” display is now synchronized with the ON/OFF setting of the Error tone > Input clip setting in SYSTEM SETUP, and “Cliping detected!
Fixed a bug that Record, Play, etc. may not be performed after File Copy, Disk Copy, or USB connection.
Moved the display position of File copy from the bottom to the top.

Specification change
The maximum size of the upgrade file has been extended from 4Mbyte to 8Mbyte. Since it is expected that the program size will exceed 4 MByte in the future, it is necessary to upgrade to Version 1.30 before upgrading to the next version.

Please initialize the SETUP memory after upgrading.

Update November 13, 2017.

We have addressed the issue that the installation may be interrupted at the “Digital Signature” authentication screen during installation on Windows 10 (Anniversary Edition) or later.
The following issues have been addressed: ▪ An issue where some anti-virus software would be misclassified as software that may be infected with a virus due to false positives.

We have requested a specialized third-party organization to investigate the safety of the installer application and driver, and have confirmed that they can be used safely.
Although the safety of the software has been confirmed, it may be judged as a virus depending on the update of the anti-virus software or pattern files you are using. In such cases, please contact the manufacturer, distributor, or developer of the anti-virus software you are using.

The installer is now common for both Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit versions.
