Update 3.069, 08/26/2008

- TotalMix: OVER LED moved by one pixel.

- TotalMix: The folder for custom bitmaps must now have the name bmp_hdsp (before bmp). This change allows to have different custom bitmaps for the Fireface mixer (bmp) and the HDSP mixer (bmp_hdsp).

- WDM: The Settings dialog of HDSP 9652 and Digiface allows to limit the number of WDM devices. The entered number is checked for validity.

- Vista: MMCSS can be enabled in the Settings / About dialog (not recommended)

*Note: This version supports ASIO timecode (APP) only, converting LTC to MTC is not supported. Please note that the hardware design requires to use an additional word clock cable in the folling case:
Generating an audio clock out of the incoming timecode requires a BNC cable from the TCO's word clock output to the word clock input of the Multiface/Digiface. In the Settings dialog Pref. Sync Ref has to be set to TCO and Clock Mode must be set to AutoSync. If the incoming timecocde is not used to clock the HDSP system the BNC cable is not needed.
