• A new setting entry was added within Pyramix under Settings>Hardware>MicPre
Remote
• Users can configure their Settings so that either the PreAmps parameters of the Horus
are recalled or the parameters of the Mixer itself are.
DSD render
For DSD64/DSD128/DSD256 rendering:
 A new feature (Project > DSD Render) allows the processing of edits (Fades/Gains/Cuts) of a
DSD Timeline.
 This applies to DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 and DXD projects. For the latter, the user has to
specify which DSD sampling rate the processor will be setup with. With DSD projects, this
sampling rate is forced to the project's sampling rate.
 Supported input file formats and sampling rates:
• DSDIFF (.dff) at 64 Fs (2.8224 MHz), 128 Fs (5.6448 MHz) and 256 Fs (11.2896
MHz)
• DSF (.dsf) at 64 Fs (2.8224 MHz) and 128 Fs (5.6448 MHz)
• WSD (.wsd) at 64 Fs (2.8224 MHz) and 128 Fs (5.6448 MHz)
• DSD MTFF (.mtff) at 64 Fs (2.8224 MHz), 128 Fs (5.6448 MHz) and 256 Fs (11.2896
MHz)
 Supported output file format and sampling rates:
• DSDIFF (.dff) at 64 Fs (2.8224 MHz), 128 Fs (5.6448 MHz) and 256 Fs (11.2896
MHz)
 User also specifies the range, i.e. whether he/she wants to process
• The whole composition
• The region between Mark-In and Mark-Out markers
• Or a selection, if any.
Note: If selection is chosen all tracks will still be taken into account, only retaining
the clips between start and end of selection's time range
 The processor will then parse the composition, ignoring any clip which has a different
sampling rate than the specified one. Any portion of a DSD clip which involves a fade-in/
fade-out or gain different than 0dB will be requantized, while preserving the rest of DSD
data, yet resyncing the DSD stream on cut points. At the end of the process, the resulting
media is a DSDIFF file with the same number of channels as the number of track in the
Pyramix's composition. Its sampling rate is the same as specified one, and its length is the
same as the specified range, with 2 seconds post roll.
Dirac Time-stretch and Pitch-shift support
 New Time-stretch & pitch shifting renderer
 New Dirac Merging key needed
 The Default Time-stretch tool in Editing replaces the Timezone
• It can also be defined under Settings>Application>Editing>Time Stretch Tool
• TimeZone is deprecated and no longer available
 Dirac configuration is available in the Pyramix Settings
• Under Settings>Application>Time Stretch>Dirac
• Three quality modes are available: Good, Better, Best
• Time/Frequency localization setting
1: Selects full time localization. Good setting for single instruments and voice
2: Time/frequency localization with emphasis on time localization. If setting #1
produces echoes this might be a better
3: This sets the time/frequency localization halfway between time and frequency
domains. It is the best setting for all general purpose signals and should be set as
default for non-preview processing
4: Higher frequency localization and less time localization. Might be a better choice
for classical music than the lower Time/Freq localization settings
5: Highest frequency localization. This might not be an ideal choice if you’re dealing
with signals that have very sharp attack transients
