Topic: MT II - new firmware v1.0.1

[anhisr]

Ben, seems to  work at advertised.

The old MT had a menu option that you could set the time in which it disappears and one of the options was never turn off; does that not exist anymore?

Does pressing a button (any button) while the hold switch is on bring the light back on? That was what I'd do on the MT 1 sometimes when not using an external battery. Yes, I'd get a "hold button is on" message, but the unit would light and I could see the meters behind the message. Just curious to know, but I too would very much want the freedom to keep the light on all the time.

Message goes on but, the light does not.

Going to upgrade to v1.0.1 and hope it fixes a problem no one has reported. 

Namely the 88.2K recording mode DOES NOT WORK! Instead the deck rolls off the audio at 21.5K Hz like it's still working in the 44.1 recording mode.

In 96K mode audio goes out to 44.5K Hz like you'd expect.

On page 11 of the manual it states.

When “Always on” is selected, the back light will be on
whenever MicroTrack II is powered on.

Nothing about except when put on hold.

open a ticket about it.  Maybe they will change their mind. 

Done.

RE: BACKLIGHT ISSUE

I opened a ticket too. I still only have the original MT which I really love, but I want to get the new on for the seamless split. I think with enough noise, they'll make the switch which I have to beleive was an oversight anyway. Their initial response makes no sense.

I'd recommend anyone with some time, go to the site and make this request. That way the issue will be elevated. Thanks, and to those who already have a Microtrack 2, I hope this helps! Keep the info coming on how it is performing.

Backlight will not stay lit on Microtrack 2
The backlight will not stay lit on the Microtrack 2. There should be an option to allow the screen to stay lit always. I also have the MT 24/96 too and that DOES have an option to allow the screen backlight to stay on always. The new model, the Microtrack 2 does not. Please fix this as it is impossible to use in the dark. Battery savings is not important to me, and having the option to turn the backlight on always is critical. Thank you.
