To
recover
requires
a
removable
EPROM
.
Apogee
Support
can
arrange
for
you
to
order
a
replacement
EPROM
directly
from
Apogee
with
instructions
on
its
installation
.
Use
the
EPROM
labeled
E33
in
the
AD16X
Use
the
EPROM
labeled
932
in
the
DA16X
To replace the EPROM:
- Unplug the host unit and remove the top cover.
- Locate the EPROM U9
- Locate the semi-circular notch at one end of U9, and note its orientation.
- Carefully remove the EPROM by gently prying each end of the chip until it may be easily removed by hand. Take care not to damage the circuit board.
- Gently place the new EPROM on top of the socket, taking care to correctly orient the semi-circular notch.
- After verifying that all the EPROM’s legs are correctly inserted, firmly press the EPROM into the socket.
- While simultaneously holding down PREV and NEXT turn the power ON.
- Let go of the buttons.
- WAIT 30 SECONDS or more (watch the dancing lights).
- Turn power off.
- Hold the PREV button while turning the power on.
- Display should read 203 for the AD-16X and 207 for the DA-16X.
- Turn power off.

Who Should Update
This

provides

and
Rosetta
series
users
compatibility
with
OS
X
Lion
,
Maestro
2
and
Apogee
ʼ
s

interface
.
Please

below
for
specific
hardware
connection
details
.
Who Should Remain on Previous Releases
- Apogee SBus is not currently supported in this release. If SBus is critical to your legacy Symphony system, remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The use of two Symphony 64 cards is not supported with this release. If you are using 2 Symphony 64 cards with legacy interfaces, remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The Save / Load functionality from Maestro 1 is no longer available; saved Maestro 1 setups will not be loadable into Maestro 2. If you need to Save and Load Maestro setups you should remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The Avid EuCon control protocol is not supported in Maestro 2.
To update
- If youʼre installing this release over a previously installed version of Symphony 64/Maestro 1, you should run the Symphony64 Uninstaller before updating to 4.2. If youʼre installing this release over a previously installed version of Symphony I/O software, you should run the SymphonyIO Uninstaller. If youʼve installed both versions, you should run both uninstallers.
- Double-click the Symphony System Software Installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation application.
- No firmware updates are required - the Symphony IO Firmware Updater is for Symphony I/O users only.
- You will be required to re-start your computer once installation is complete.
After updating -
After
updating
,
verify
that
the
Symphony
Source
setting
(
found
in
the
Maestro
2
&
gt
;
System
Setup
tab
and
Audio
MIDI
Setup
)
is
set
to
the
appropriate
Port
setting
:
- If interfaces are connected only to Port 1, set Source to Port 1 Chs 1-32.
- If interfaces are connected to both Ports 1-2, set Source to Ports 1-2 chs 1-64.
New Features - Legacy interfaces
- The “A” icon that previously appeared in the Apple Menu bar has been removed - Look in Maestro 2ʼs Toolbar System Status display for system information.
- To distinguish between an AD16X and DA16X when the interface is set to Advanced routing mode or a Rosetta 800 and 200, the setting Device Type is provided in Maestro 2 (Device Settings tab). This ensures that audio paths displayed in the Input and Output Routing tabs correspond to the actual hardware I/O. If neither a 16X Series in Advanced routing nor a Rosetta is connected, the Device Type drop down is not displayed.
Known issues - Legacy DA16X Interface
- When a single DA16X is connected in Advanced routing mode, it will initially appear as an AD16X. Simply choose DA16X under Maestro 2ʻs Device Settings > Device Type drop down menu for the interface to be correctly detected.
- When using Symphony I/O and legacy interfaces together, Routing tabs may not display the proper number of inputs and outputs. To work around this issue, restart the computer.
- The AD16X may initially be detected as a Rosetta 800. Workaround - restart the computer.
Using Legacy Apogee Interfaces with OS X Lion & Maestro 2
- Note that at the current time, the use of only 1 Symphony 64 card is supported regardless of the interface connected.
- When connecting legacy Apogee interfaces to a Symphony 64 or Mobile card, ensure that the interfaces are connected in a supported hardware combination, as listed below. With a Symphony 64 card, itʼs possible to connect one supported combination to each port.
- When connecting both Symphony I/Os and legacy Apogee interfaces to a Symphony 64 card, connect the Symphony I/O to Port 1 Channels 1-32 port and legacy interfaces (in a supported combination) to the Port 2 Channels 1-64 port.
- Legacy Apogee interfaces donʼt include Loop clock functionality (as found on Symphony I/O). Thus, when legacy interfaces are connected to a Symphony 64 card, the “Use Loop Sync” checkbox does not appear and Loop sync functionality is defeated on the Symphony I/O. Use one of the clock configurations described on pages 6-7 of the Symphony 64 Userʼs Guide v1.1.
