Revision History / Release Notes

Version 1.0.10.11 - April 1, 2026
  • Fixed a problem introduced with 1.0.10.9 where SD card Next / Prev controls would only work once.
  • ATMOS scenes are now saved and recalled with normal NControl scenes. This means Quick-Recall scenes now have ATMOS scenes included. Scenes in the ATMOS page will still only include the ATMOS data (for use with the SD card > ATMOS Scenes function on the Aurora(n) front panel).
  • Added ATMOS controls for Firmware 1.36:
    1. Global attenuation: Sets the Global attenuation (pre-DSP) for all channels. Set this value if there are any positive gains on any channel's filter parameters to prevent clipping.
    2. Auto: Press to automatically set the Global attenuation based on all of the current filter data.
    3. Q-Type: Select between three different Q-Types: Constant Q, Proportional Q and the Lynx V1 Q (which is how Q was defined in all previous version of firmware). Default is Constant Q, which Lynx recommends.
    4. Optimize: When this checkbox is checked and the user presses the Global attenuation "Auto" button, the "Level to sub" will be automatically set based on the current number of channels and bass management settings.
  • Added Log Graph display below filter controls. This shows the frequency response curve for the selected channel based on the filters and bass management currently selected. Changing the controls in the UI will update the log graph, however the user must still press the "Apply" button to have those changes active in hardware.

Version 1.0.10.10 - February 13, 2026
  • Beta test version.

Version 1.0.10.9 - September 10, 2025
  • Changed scene recall to only update registers that actually changed instead of all registers. The prevents large numbers of register changes which might overload the Dante interface.
  • NControl Play pane and Thunderbolt record source dialog box now correctly shows the number of play and record channels if a custom number of channels is selected using the Adapter Setting dialog box.

Version 1.0.10.8 - May 12, 2025
  • Open and Save Scene now remember the folder that was last used, open will start in that folder when the File dialog box opens again.
  • About box will now show if the Aurora(n) is disconnected and the operating system version.
  • Adapter Settings will now show the serial number of the device.
  • Added MCU Pro and MCU Pro XT double-checks upon wake-up.

Version 1.0.10.7 - May 1, 2024
  • Added Thunderbolt driver check to "Check for updates" function. If a newer version of the Thunderbolt driver is available, a popup will inform the user of the newer version and ask if the user wants to download it. If the user presses "Ignore", the popup will no longer occur until the user selects Menu > Advanced > Check for updates.

Version 1.0.10.6 - March 27, 2024
  • Added "Dante device exclusion list" dialog. This allows exclusion of specific Dante devices to NControl. NControl must be restarted for the new exclusion to take effect.
  • Added "Identify" function to Menu.
  • Added MCU Pro commands: Function key F7 is GROUP A Mute; Alt+F7 is GROUP A Dim.
  • Modified MCU Pro sliders so any value -70.0dB or lower is muted.
  • MCU Pro commands now take action on key down instead of key up. This allows better integration with the Elgato Stream Deck + with the Midi plugin which only sends key down commands.
  • Dolby ATMOS scenes can now assign channel names from newer SonarWorks .TXT files.
  • Dolby ATMOS Setup page can now load preset .BIN files from Sonarworks Version 5.10 and up.
  • Copy and Paste (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V) now implemented for output volume and routing. First select a specific output pair and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Macintosh). This copies the output controls and all associated source channel controls to the clipboard. Next, select a different output pair and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Macintosh). This pastes the volume and routing to the newly selected output pair. A specific use case for this is if powered monitors are on Out 1+2, the volume and routing of Out 1+2 can be copied to the Phones so the Phones will have exactly the same feed as the powered monitors.
  • Added "Check for updates" to Menu > Advanced. If a newer version of NControl is available, a popup will inform the user of the newer version and ask if the user wants to download it. If the user presses "Ignore", the popup will no longer occur until the user selects Menu > Advanced > Check for updates.

Version 1.0.10.5 - October 20, 2023
  • Channel Bass Management settings are now preserved when loading a preset, since SonarWorks presets do not contain bass management settings.
  • Added "ATMOS Scene" section with "ATMOS Enable" button to adapter panel. This is a duplicate of the ATMOS Enable switch within the Dolby ATMOS setup page. This serves as a reminder that the ATMOS Scene is enabled since normal NControl routing is overridden by the Dolby ATMOS setup page. Holding down the "ALT" key while pressing the ATMOS Enable button will immediately launch the Dolby ATMOS setup page (Ctrl+A [Windows] / Cmd+A [Mac] will also launch the Dolby ATMOS setup page).

Version 1.0.10.4 - September 29, 2023
  • Changed Load REW Preset dialog so that the "Open Files" button is disabled until the user has actually assigned a file to a speaker.

Version 1.0.10.3 - September 9, 2023
  • Fixed issue where Group selection and volume was not restored from USB connected Aurora(n).
  • Fixed issue where Monitor Out or Phones would not save or restore properly from ATMOS Scenes when selected as the output.

Version 1.0.10.2 - September 6, 2023
  • Fixed issue introduced with 1.0.10.1 where Sonarworks import of 2.0 (Stereo) .TXT would cause a crash.
  • Disable LFE settings when Sub mix is set to Sat Only.

Version 1.0.10.1 - August 23, 2023
  • Fixed issue where Sonarworks import of 7.1.4 .TXT would select 7.1 instead of 7.1.4.

Version 1.0.10 - June 23, 2023
  • Changed to Dante API Version 4.6.2.5.
  • Added support for Dolby ATMOS room correction.
  • Fixed issue where trim for TRS In 1+2 on LM-A24 may not switch properly depending on the configuration of the Aurora(n).
  • Fixed issue where selecting certain higher numbered outputs as the rotary control volume channel might cause NControl to not open properly upon quit / reopen.
  • Added "Allow clock change if active" to Advanced menu.

Version 1.0.9 - October 20, 2022
  • Added support for macOS AudioDriverKit driver.
  • Fixed issue with 8-channel Aurora(n) with LT-USB and LM-A24 or LM-A04 where LT-USB would always show 8-channel mode instead of 16.

Version 1.0.8 - July 11, 2022
  • Meter data are ignored for the first 125ms upon startup to avoid showing a meter deflection when none exists from hardware.
  • Now using JUCE 7 library.
  • Macintosh version now supports Apple Silicon (M1) Dante connection method.
  • Macintosh version now has OpenGL disabled by default since JUCE 7 now supports Metal rendering.
  • Macintosh version now supports macOS 10.10 and up (the oldest version of the OS supported by the Audinate Dante library).
  • F8 key now properly does Group Swap A/B for both Windows and Macintosh version.

Version 1.0.7.6 - March 31, 2022
  • Fixed issue that may cause abnormal program termination when selecting an output, depending on the configuration of the Aurora(n).

Version 1.0.6 - August 19, 2021
  • Added Play pan and volume controls for the first 12 outputs, Phones and the selected Monitor Out. Only available with Aurora(n) Firmware 1.25 and higher.
  • Added Zoom levels of 50%, 66% and 80%. These values were selected because they are the inverse of 200%, 150% and 125% font scaling factors that may be applied by the operating system on high-DPI monitors.
  • Added Output Select to scene storage. This allows the scene to remember which output is currently selected when the scene is saved so NControl can return to the exact same state.

Version 1.0.5 - July 6, 2021
  • Added Pan law menu popup in Menu > Advanced. Only available with Aurora(n) Firmware 1.24 and higher.
  • Added Swap A/B to Adapter panel when Group A+B Enable is set. This replicates the functionality of pressing the rotary encoder on the front panel of the Aurora(n) when on a meter page and Settings > RE click is set to Swap A/B. If Group B is disabled then the Swap A/B panel will be hidden. Only available with Aurora(n) Firmware 1.23 and higher.
  • Updated to Dante 4.4 API. Please note that Audinate does not support Dante on Apple Silicon M1 based computers. Supports Big Sur on Intel.
  • Fixed issue where the scribble strip may not recall properly when multiple Aurora(n)s are present in a single system.
  • Fixed issue saving and restoring LSlot routing in scenes. PLEASE NOTE: Scenes previously saved with NControl will set the LSlot Record Source incorrectly. User must recall the old scene, manually set the LSlot Record Source then resave the scene to correct.

Version 1.0.4 - May 05, 2021
  • Windows only release. Included with V2 Build 24d driver.
  • Added Advanced > "ASIO Buffer Size" when Thunderbolt connection is detected.
  • Added "Auto" to Advanced > Adapter Settings > Channel Mode for Hilo-TB; Hilo-TB3; Aurora(n)-TB; Aurora(n)-TB3. When unchecked, allows the user to control the number of channels presented to the operating system instead of reading the channel count from the device.
  • Changed to WinRar 6.01 for self-extracting archiver to avoid false positive virus detection issues.

Version 1.0.3 - November 20, 2020
  • macOS only release. Included with Build 59A driver.

Version 1.0.2 - November 20, 2020
  • Added support for Group A and Group B master volumes (requires Firmware 1.23 or higher).
  • Each output pair can only be assigned to Group A or Group B or neither, but not both.
  • An example setup is: The end user assigns all of the line outs to Group A and the digital outs to Group B, then there is a master for each set of outputs as a group.
  • The group masters cannot be "Selected" like other outputs since there are no sources to route. It is possible to assign the rotary encoder to the group by "Control+Click" on the group title (just like all of the other output titles).
  • When the LSlot Record Source dialog is up, the background now stays dimmed to show the dialog box is modal.
  • When the Advanced > Adapter settings is up, the background now stays dimmed to show the dialog box is modal.
  • Sample rate is displayed on the Adapter pane as "Not connected" when there is no connection to the Aurora(n) as there was no immediate indicator of the connection status without bringing up the connection menu.
  • Added support for macOS 11 Big Sur and Apple Silicon. Please note that the Dante connection method is not supported on Big Sur or Apple Silicon due to limitations from Audinate.

Version 1.0.1 - March 27, 2020
  • Fixed issue where NControl would exit when saving a scene where no "Quick Recall" scene was active.
  • Made "Quick Recall" scene no longer active once a scene is opened or saved using "Open scene" or "Save scene" menu or command.
  • Sample Rate, Sync Source and SynchroLock status are no longer saved with a scene, but are recalled if they are present in the scene file. This prevents unintended sample rate or sync source changes when recalling a scene.
  • Added the ability to remove "Quick Recall" scenes. Hold down the Alt key and click on "Store scene". Text of the Store scene button will change to "Remove scene" and the Quick Recall scenes that are valid will blink. Click on the scene you wish to remove and the scene will be removed and the name will be reset to the default scene name. To cancel the Remove scene function, just click on the Remove scene button.
  • Changed the extensions of the "Quick Recall" scenes from .xml to .ncs to match the "Open scene" and "Save scene" commands. Quick recall scenes scenes are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Lynx for macOS and C:Users*UserName*AppDataRoamingLynx on Windows. Previously stored "Quick Recall" scenes will need to be manually renamed (one-time) to continue to be seen by this and future versions of NControl.

Version 1.0.0 - February 17, 2020
  • Added support for DB-ADAT

Version 0.9.8 BETA - November 11, 2019
  • Added keyboard shortcuts for several functions within NControl:

    Adapter Settings (Only with LT-TB or LT-TB3)
    Show PCIe Latency (Only with LT-TB or LT-TB3)
    Payload Size (Only with LT-TB or LT-TB3)
    Set Aurora(n) date & time

Version 0.9.7 BETA - August 13, 2019
  • Fixed issue that caused meters for AES Out 9-16 to not be displayed properly.
  • Added AES Input Status to input source panel.
  • Added data throttling to network connection for LT-DANTE.
  • Changed "LSlot" to "Dante" in Clock Source popup for LT-DANTE connection.
  • NControl is now 64-bit on both macOS (notarized) and Windows (signed).
  • Lynx recommends the use of Firmware 1.19 (August 5, 2019) or higher with this version of NControl.

Version 0.9.6 BETA - May 1, 2019
  • Added keyboard support:
    • Available if your keyboard has media controls:
    • Mute mutes/unmutes current output
    • Volume +/- changes volume on current output
    • Play plays/pauses SD card
    • Stop stops SD card

    • D dims/undims current output
    • Tab / Shift-Tab & left arrow/right arrow moves currently selected output
  • Fixes store scene issue that showed all scenes as available after saving just scene 1

Version 0.9.5 BETA - April 16, 2019
  • Added LSlot record routing menu option in addition to LSlot record routing page. This new popup page allows the end user channel-by-channel control of routing from the Aurora(n) back to the record streams on the computer. Holding the "Control" key while selecting a specific menu item will set the remaining 8-channels of a channel block in order. (If the user starts with channel 4, for instance, holding control and clicking "Line In 4" will set channels 4-8 to Line In 4-8.) This new page also gives the user the ability to loopback LSlot channels so LSlot record channels gets it's source from an LSlot play channel.

Version 0.9.4 BETA - April 4, 2019
  • NControl for Macintosh now 64-bit application and is notarized by Apple.
  • NControl for Windows is 32-bit application (so it can load on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems).

Version 1.0 Build 58K BETA - March 13, 2020
  1. Aurora(n)-TB, Aurora(n)-TB3, Hilo-TB, Hilo-TB3 now have the sample rate and sync source read from the device upon driver load so the device retains the sample rate and sync source, not the driver. This prevents a cable disconnection from overriding the sample rate or sync source stored on the device.
  2. Lynx Mixer > Settings > Advanced > Adapter Settings > Channel Mode now controls the number of channels shown for a classic Aurora 8-TB where previously it was fixed at 16-channels. Channel Mode in Lynx Mixer for classic Aurora 8-TB now allows 2 thru 16-channels to be selected.

Version 1.0 Build 58J BETA February 17, 2020
  1. Added support for DB-ADAT connected to LM-DIG inside Aurora(n).
  2. Added NControl to driver package.
    1. Supports DB-ADAT.
    2. Fixes issue with Mic Pre not showing Gain when in Hi-Z mode.
    3. Fixes issue with About box not showing driver version info properly.
  3. Changed to "Packages.app" for installer to allow for notarization on Catalina
  4. Added register update after card info write to prevent streaming issues after an EEPROM write.
  5. Saves Hardware Payload Size in EEPROM instead of MixerState.xml so it is restored properly if the device is plugged in or turned on after the Mac has started.
  6. Lynx Mixer now shows and can select clock sources for LM-DIG and/or DB-ADAT with Firmware 1.21 on Aurora(n).
  7. Changed smallest Hardware Payload Size when on "Auto" to 8 (from 4).
  8. Added NControl 1.0.0 to driver installation package. NControl will be installed into the /Applications folder and will automatically be launched if the user launches Lynx Mixer with an Aurora(n)-TB3 (which doesn't support Lynx Mixer).

Version 1.0 Build 58I BETA - November 14, 2019
  1. Fixed issue with CARDID read on driver load that might cause firmware updates to timeout.

Version 1.0 Build 58H BETA - October 10, 2019
  1. Fixed issue with Lynx Mixer not allowing mute changes for sources to anything other than Out 1&2 (introduced on 58G).

Version 1.0 Build 58G BETA - September 20, 2019
  1. Driver and all applications are 64-bit and notarized by Apple for Mojave (10.14) and Catalina (10.15) and up.
  2. Changed interface for FWUpdate to 64-bit. Older versions of FWUpdate will no longer function. User must use FWUpdate for 58G if a firmware update is required.
  3. Sample offset fixed for Aurora(n)-TB. Added one sample for play and one sample for record.
  4. Now includes Hilo Remote 1.0.19.
    1. Hilo Remote no longer automatically resizes the window based on the number of channels.
    2. Added "Advanced" menu option of connection method is Thunderbolt which may contain the following menu options depending on hardware configuration:
      1. Added "Adapter Settings" dialog to allow adapter settings previously only available with Lynx Mixer to be changed with Hilo Remote.
      2. Please note: This setting is for advanced use and normally should never need to be changed by the end user. Added "Hardware Payload Size". This should normally be left on "Auto" to allow the driver to determine the payload size (see note 5 below).
      3. Please note: This setting is for advanced use and normally should never need to be changed by the end user. Added "Show PCIe DMA Completion Latency". This option will temporarily display the PCI Express DMA completion latency on the toolbar while streaming. This setting is not saved so each launch of Hilo Remote will have this option unchecked. The latency value can be used in conjunction with the Settings > Advanced > Hardware Payload Size to insure glitch free streaming. The current maximum value will be displayed in both microseconds and samples (adjusted for the current sample rate). The Hardware Payload Size should always be double the worst-case latency number in samples. The software buffer size should always be a minimum of 4 times the Hardware Payload Size.
  5. Changed how the Hardware Payload Size is automatically calculated. The default values are 8 samples for 44.1kHz and 48kHz; 16 for 88.2kHz and 96kHz; and 32 for 176.4kHz and 192kHz. If Advanced > Hardware Payload Size is set to "Auto", each time the streaming is stopped, the driver evaluates the computers performance and may set a new default Hardware Payload Size if the driver based on the that performance measurement. This may result in either a higher Hardware Payload Size being selected, or a lower Hardware Payload Size depending on the speed of the computers PCIe DMA Completion Latency value.
  6. In Lynx Mixer: Changed "Hardware Buffer Size" to "Hardware Payload Size" to keep it from being confused with the software buffer size. This should normally be left on "Auto" to allow the driver to determine the payload size (see note 5 above).
  7. Please note: This setting is for advanced use and normally should never need to be changed by the end user. In Lynx Mixer: Added "Show PCIe DMA Completion Latency". This option will temporarily display the PCI Express DMA completion latency on the toolbar while streaming. This setting is not saved so each launch of Lynx Mixer will have this option unchecked. The latency value can be used in conjunction with the Settings > Advanced > Hardware Payload Size to insure glitch free streaming. The current maximum value will be displayed in both microseconds and samples (adjusted for the current sample rate). The Hardware Payload Size should always be double the worst-case latency number in samples. The software buffer size should always be a minimum of 4 times the Hardware Payload Size.
  8. In Lynx Mixer: Added the ability to change the Sync Source on the Aurora(n)-TB. Please note that Firmware 6.4 is required on the LT-TB for this to function properly.

Version 1.0 Build 58E BETA - March 1, 2019
  1. Driver and all applications are now notarized by Apple for Mojave (10.14) and up.
  2. Changed name of Hilo with LT-TB from "LT-TB" to "Hilo-TB".
  3. All applications are now 64-bit to avoid warning on Mojave.
  4. Transmit FIFO full check now performed for internal MIDI connection on LT-TB.
  5. Sample offset fixed for LT-TB 5.5 firmware.

Version 1.0 Build 58D - November 14, 2017
  1. Added support for Aurora(n) with LM-DIG board.
  2. Fixed issue for startup scene on certain configurations.
  3. Driver now supports macOS 10.9 to macOS 10.13.

Version 1.0 Build 58C - June 2, 2017
  1. Added support for Aurora(n)-TB.

Version 1.0 Build 58B - May 16, 2016
  1. Added work-around for issue with DMAV2PLUS that would occasionally cause dropped samples on input.
  2. Added support for fixed recording timing DMAV2PLUS firmware:
    AES16e: 14.1
    LT-TB: 6.2
    E44/E22: 2.1
  3. Added support for non-mixable integer format. This allows applications to bypass the Float32 to SignedInt32 conversion (which is bit-perfect, so there is no sonic difference either way).
  4. Includes Hilo Remote Version 1.0.12.
  5. Added new signing certificate for OS X 10.9 and up.
  6. Driver now supports OS X 10.9 to OS X 10.11.

Version 1.0 Build 58 - August 27, 2015
  1. Added support for DMAV2PLUS for AES16e/LT-TB/E44/E22.
    DMAV2PLUS supports the following features:
    - Smaller transfer sizes to reduce latency to under 1ms round-trip (96kHz, 32 sample buffer)
    DMAV2PLUS is supported with the following firmware:
    AES16e: 14.0
    LT-TB: 6.0
    E44/E22: 2.0
  2. Added new controls in Lynx Mixer to support DMAV2PLUS. Settings > Advanced > Hardware Buffer Size. This settings should be left at 'Auto' unless you are working with Lynx Technical Support on a specific issue. Changing this control sets the amount of audio buffered in the hardware. The smaller the number the faster the CPU must respond to interrupts before audio breaks up.
  3. Includes Hilo Remote Version 1.0.11.

Version 1.0 Build 57A - April 9, 2015
  1. Added support for 32-bit Kernel for OS X 10.6 and 10.7.
  2. Fixed issue that caused Build 57 driver to not load properly on OS X 10.8.
  3. Included Hilo Remote 1.0.0.8.

Version 1.0 Build 57 - December 9, 2014
  1. Added full support for E44 and E22 PCI Express cards.
  2. Corrected issue with Hilo-TB where the delay compensation was off by 1 sample for input and output.
  3. Included Hilo Remote 1.0.0.6.
  4. Added support for 2, 4 and 8-channel modes (in addition to 16, 24 and 32) for AES16e and LT-TB.

Version 1.0 Build 56 - February 7, 2014
  1. Added full support for LT-TB Thunderbolt adapter for Aurora and Hilo converters.
  2. Added new Lynx Mixer application which gives the following new features:
    • Tabs for each adapter installed instead of a separate floating window.
    • Adapter; Record and Play pane may be displayed
    • Rate Lock now available in OS X, which allows the sample rate to be fixed.
    • Mixer Lock now available in OS X, which keeps the user for accidentally changing any control.
    • Same look and feel for both Windows and OS X.
    • Saves scenes in a standard XML file which are no longer version or OS specific.
    • Added "Disable CPU Power Management" in driver which will turn off CPU power management whenever the driver is streaming. This may cause additional power draw for your computer while streaming audio, which may result in shorter on-battery time and higher heat generated. You may disable this new feature by un-checking the menu item while streaming is not active. If glitches in audio playback occur at higher sample rates or higher numbers of channels, we recommend leaving this item checked.
    • For the AES16e+Aurora combo, new Aurora menu items appear within the Settings menu. This replaces Aurora Remote Control which is no longer needed for the AES16e+Aurora combo.
    • New method for controlling the monitor sources.
    • Inputs and Outputs change name based on what is connected. For the AES16e by itself, I/O will be labeled as Digital In and Digital Out. For the AES16e+Aurora combo, I/O will be labeled as Analog In and Analog Out.
    • LS-ADAT fully supported with "ADAT Clock Source" selection in Settings Menu and LStream clock lockout for when the ADAT Clock Source is set to Slave.
    • For the Aurora-TB and AES16e+Aurora combo, the Adapter Settings dialog now flashes the front panel of the Aurora when each device is selected. This allows easy identification when selecting the order of the adapters.
  3. When driver is operating in 16-channel mode, outputs 17-32 (AES16e: ADAT or AES50 / Aurora 16-TB: AES/EBU) are mirrored from the first 16-channels.
  4. When setting up an aggregate device in Audio/MIDI Setup, it is important to: Clock all devices from the same source; Set the Sync Source in Lynx Mixer to External for all "slave" devices (please note setting the clock source in Audio/MIDI setup has been removed); Turn "Drift/Resample" off for all "slave" devices in Audio/MIDI setup.

Version 1.0 Build 55 - November 2, 2013
  1. Added full support for OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Installer and driver are now digitally signed (which is required by OS X 10.9). Signed driver is installed in /Library/Extensions and unsigned driver is installed in /System/Library/Extensions (for OS X 10.6; 10.7 and 10.8) as required by Apple.
  2. Channel mode and card order (for a multi-card system) can now be set from within Lynx Mixer. Lynx Mixer > Settings > Adapter Settings. Please note that you must restart the computer for these settings to take effect. You must have firmware version 12.11 on your AES16e for this to work properly.
  3. Remove ability to control output volumes from Audio/MIDI Setup. If you need this capability, please use Build 54.
  4. Changed where Lynx Mixer stores the last used scene for restart. It is now stored in the Home Folder/Library/Preferences.
  5. Added complete support for Thunderbolt hot plug and unplug. Please note that for some Thunderbolt chassis, OS X 10.8.5 is required for hot plug to work properly.
  6. The AES16e-50 card defaults now has the AES50 port routed for all of the inputs.

Version 1.0 Build 54 - August 1, 2012
  1. Added full support for OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Installer is now digitally signed (which is required by OS X 10.8).
  2. Installer can now change from one channel mode to another (16/24/32) without rebooting the computer. Please note that you may need to uninstall the previous driver using the Lynx OS X Driver Uninstaller (see link above) before installing this driver to allow the channel mode change without reboot feature to work properly.
  3. Added support for 24-channel mode.
  4. Lynx Mixer now supports 16/24/32-channel mode and shows all controls for each mode. The channel mode currently selected is shown in About Lynx Mixer.
  5. Audio/MIDI Setup can now control the output volumes, output mutes, input mutes and feed-through mutes. This allows the user to change these controls without launching Lynx Mixer (and also allows applications other than Lynx Mixer to change these controls).
  6. Lynx Mixer now saves/restores all 32-channels upon exiting Lynx Mixer which allows channels 17-32 to remember the input routing through a reboot.
  7. Increased the number of active devices to match the maximum number of devices available (except for 4X rates where it maxes out at 8 devices / 16 channels). Previously it was set to 8; 8 and 4.

Version 1.0 Build 53 - March 13, 2012
  1. Added full support for Thunderbolt expansion chassis. Implements hot-plugging and unplugging as well as sleep mode. Please note that Thunderbolt expansion chassis with the Lynx Audio Card must be connected and enabled when powering on the Macintosh otherwise the boot-loader will not allocate resources for the device and the driver will not be able to load.
  2. Defaulted "Allow Clock Source Change while Active" to TRUE. Previously this control might get set to FALSE when doing a Restore Defaults, which would keep some applications from being able to change the sample rate until the streaming was stopped.

Version 1.0 Build 52 - July 22, 2011
  1. Set "Allow Clock Source Change while Active" to TRUE when loading driver and starting streaming.

Version 1.0 Build 51 - March 2, 2011
  1. Internal Test Builds.

Version 1.0 Build 50 - December 8, 2010
  1. Added support for 64-bit kernel.
  2. Removed "Output Select" from LS-ADAT page in Lynx Mixer when running with an AES16e.
  3. Added additional error messages to the kernel.log (Applications > Utilities > Console > kernel.log) if the driver fails to load.v
  4. This is an Intel Only Build compatible with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) 32-bit and 64-bit kernel.

Version 1.0 Build 49 - March 9, 2010
  1. Added support for AES16e-50.
  2. Added support for AES16e Firmware Build 11, which includes 64x32 mixer. Please note that driver defaults to 8 record and 8 play devices active so to use all 32-channels (16-devices) will require changing the Device Settings from within Lynx Mixer. Only the first 16-channels are routable on the Record/Play page (the top 16-channels are defaulted to LStream). Only the first 16-channels are routable on the Outputs page (the top 16-channels are defaulted to 1:1 from the play devices). This just means that it is not possible to do a record monitor (without software latency) on channels 17-32.
  3. This is an Intel Only Build to make it compatible with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) 32-bit kernel.

Version 1.0 Build 48i - October 6, 2009
  1. Fixed issue where Record Sources may be incorrectly listed as AES16 Digital Inputs instead of LynxTWO/L22 Inputs.
  2. Removed MIDI Plugin.
  3. This is an Intel Only Build to make it compatible with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) 32-bit kernel.

Version 1.0 Build 47 - November 13, 2008
  1. Fixed issue where restoring scenes may cause kernel panic on LynxTWO/L22.

Version 1.0 Build 46 August 7, 2008
  1. Added FWUpdate support for AES16e.
  2. Fixed LynxTWORestoreSettings so it now runs on system startup.
  3. Added About Box to Lynx Mixer. Please note when you open the About Box it places the text of the About Box into the clipboard so you can paste it to an email or our support forum without having to retype any information.
  4. Fixed Sleep support so system can now go to Sleep and Resume from sleep without a Kernel Panic.
  5. Fixed Sample Rate select control in Lynx Mixer so it always show the correct sample rate instead of occasionally being blank.
  6. Renamed all devices (including MIDI) to show consistent device names.

Version 1.0 Build 45 - April 17, 2008
  1. No FWUpdate support for AES16e.
  2. Fixed Logic 8 set 192kHz sample rate issue.
  3. Included LynxRestoreSettings.
  4. Saving scenes now saves all controls.

Version 1.0 Build 44 - April 11, 2008
  1. LynxRestoreSettings is not included.
  2. Saving a scene in Lynx Mixer will not save all
    3. of the controls. This just means that when you boot the Lynx Mixer will always start with the default settings..
  3. Fixed Logic 8 set sample rate issue.
  4. Updated Lynx Mixer AES16 Adapter page so status controls are color coded.
  5. Fixed Lynx Mixer for PPC so font changes don't crash the program.
  6. Fixed Interface to Aurora Remote so launching ARC will not Kernel Panic the computer.

Version 1.0 Build 43 - April 1, 2008
  1. Added support AES16e.
  2. Universal Binary. Will work with either Intel or PPC Macintosh.

Version 1.01 Build 42 - April 14, 2006
  1. Added support for Aurora Remote and Aurora Update applications.
  2. Renamed installer package to Lynx_OSX_xx.pkg.
  3. Changed to ZIP file format for installer package.
  4. Holding down the 'control' key while changing a main output volume now changes all 16 main output volumes together. The shift key still changes stereo pairs.
  5. Holding down the 'control' key while selecting the monitor source or record source sets all the monitor sources to the right of the current control to next valid source.
  6. Driver now supports both big endian and little endian firmware. This means if the Lynx PCI audio card already has Windows firmware on it, there is no need to update it to Macintosh firmware. All future firmware releases will be little endian (Windows) only. Please Note: This change allows the driver to use a Lynx PCI audio card with either Windows or Macintosh firmware. This driver will only work on a Macintosh with G5 and G4 processors, not Intel processors.
  7. L2Update programs X21 and older will no longer function with this driver. If you must use an older L2Update program, first DesInstall this driver, restart the computer, run L2Update, power down then power back up and reinstall the driver.

Version 1.01 Build 41 - March 6, 2006
  1. Internal Test Build.

Version 1.01 Build 40 - June 2, 2005
  1. Fixed permissions issue for OSX 10.4 with StartupItems.
  2. Fixed Recalibrate Converters button that was broken in Build 39.
  3. Fixed audio erasure playback issue that was broken in Build 39. This would cause a 'stuttering' sound when multiple applications tried to playback audio from the same device (such as iTunes and Peak).
  4. Fixed Restore Settings problem that may overwrite some trim controls values.
  5. Fixed Restore Settings version so older settings files will no longer load.
  6. Driver now only advertises to applications that the AES16 can do 32kHz to 192kHz. Previously the driver would advertise it could do 11.025 & 22.05kHz when it actually could not.

Version 1.01 Build 39 - May 10, 2005
  1. Changed how the Sample Clock Source selection works. Now, the control 'Preferred Clock Source' allows selection of the desired sample clock source. Once every 250 milliseconds (4 times a second) the sample clock source is evaluated by looking at the appropriate System Clock Rate (Frequency Counter next to the Preferred Clock Source selection button) to determine if the Preferred Clock Source is valid. If the clock source is valid, the driver switches the Sample Clock Source to the Preferred Clock Source. If at any time the Preferred Clock Source becomes invalid (clock cable disconnected, external gear that is feeding the clock is turned off), the driver changes the Sample Clock Source back to Internal, even if the card has a device that is actively playing or recording.
  2. Removed the 'Sample Clock Reference' control as it was no longer needed because the driver automatically detects the different clock references (Word/Word256/13.5MHz/27MHz).
  3. Added 'Rate Lock' control. Default is OFF. When ON, the driver will ignore all requests to change the Sample Clock Rate, including those coming from applications. The effectively causes all files not running at the currently selected clock rate to be software sample rate converted (if available) during playback/recording. When clocking to an external word clock, the Rate Lock function is effectively ON regardless of this switch setting, and the rate is locked to the same rate of the incoming word clock.
  4. Fixed a problem on startup that would cause the driver to be out-of-sync with the hardware. This caused additional latency to be added to the audio stream.
  5. Changed the number of transfers per interrupt from 2 to 8, which reduces the CPU load for processing interrupts.
  6. Added output mixer source volume controls to Lynx Mixer Outputs page. This allows individual volume control over each source going to each output for custom mixes. Note: Holding down the shift key will change the volumes in stereo pairs.

Version 1.01 Build 38 - December 22, 2004
  1. The driver now recognizes Lynx L22 with serial numbers 230408XXXX and LynxTWO-A with serial numbers 200401XXXX as having the Rev A analog to digital converter chip. This corrects for a phase problem between channels 1 & 2 (and 3 & 4 on the LynxTWO-A) during recording. PLEASE NOTE: Only cards with these two specific serial number sequences would have exhibited any phase problems during recording and this driver corrects the issue.

Version 1.01 Build 37 - December 9, 2004
  1. Renamed 'LynxTWO Mixer' to 'Lynx Mixer'.
  2. Fixed AES16-SRC Adapter Page in Lynx Mixer to correctly display SRC Enable & SRC Match Phase controls upon startup.
  3. Lynx Mixer now saves the state of all the AES16 controls upon exiting and when saving a Scene.
  4. Added Settings > Device Settings dialog box to Lynx Mixer to allow for configuration of the driver performance. PLEASE NOTE: The driver must not be active when making changes to the Device Settings dialog box. You must manually ensure the the transfer size set in the Lynx Mixer is less than or equal to the buffer size set in the application, otherwise audio break-up may occur. Reducing the number of active devices does not change how the driver appears inside an application, it only turns off the PCI Bus transfers for those devices - thus freeing the system to do other work.
  5. Lynx Mixer now only shows the appropriate Settings menu items for the type of card in use.

Version 1.01 Build 36 - June 25, 2004
  1. First non-beta release of driver.
  2. Added support for changing the sample clock source from within applications, such as Nuendo and Audio & MIDI Setup.
  3. Put the maximum limit on number of devices at high sample rate (>96kHz) to 5 (giving 10in+10out channels).

Version 1.01 Build 35 - June 9, 2004
  1. Changed when the time stamp is reported to fix problem with larger record buffers and record buffer wrapping problem.

Version 1.01 Build 34 - May 28, 2004

  1. Complete rewrite of ISR and buffer handling to improve latency performance. Internal Release Only.

Version 1.01 Build 32 - March 25, 2004
  1. Changed how the DMA transfers are handled to improve reliability (GLIMIT to 256, SO to 256).

Version 1.01 Build 31 - March 9, 2004
  1. Fixed a problem that misreported the latency to CoreAudio.
  2. Changed how the DMA transfers are handled to improve latency performance (GLIMIT to 32, SO to 32).
  3. Changed the DMA buffer size to 16 x 256 sample-frames.
  4. Fixed the LS-ADAT window to correctly display the position from the Sync In port.
  5. Changed the frequency counters in the LynxTWO Mixer to show only one decimal point of accuracy in the kHz range.
  6. Fixed a problem with the AES16-SRC Adapter Page that wouldn't allow enabling of the SRC Check Box.
  7. Put the maximum limit on number of devices at high sample rate (>96kHz) to 2 (giving 4in+4out channels) as a temporary measure until the next rev of the driver.

Version 1.01 Build 30 - January 12, 2004
  1. Added support for the AES16 and AES16-SRC.

Version 1.01 Build 29 - October 17, 2003
  1. Put the maximum limit on number of devices at high sample rate (>96kHz) back to 4 (giving 8in+8out channels).

  1. Added Record Source Lookup for Output Page in Lynx Mixer.

Version 1.01 Build 26 - October 14, 2003
  1. Record Sources Menu in Record/Play page is now adapter specific.

Version 1.01 Build 25 - October 11, 2003
  1. Fixed a problem that caused audio breakup at higher sample rates (>96kHz).

Version 1.01 Build - 24 October 8, 2003
  1. Increased the "tolerance" for overruns from 0 to 8.

Version 1.01 Build - 23 October 4, 2003
  1. Fixed a problem that caused the device to not play anything after using a high sampling rate (>96kHz).
  2. Put the maximum limit on number of devices at high sample rate (>96kHz) to 4 (giving 8in+8out channels).
  3. Improved overrun detection and recovery.

Aurora(n) Firmware Revision History

Version 1.36 - March 17, 2026
  • Added global pre-DSP attenuation control to prevent clipping when filters with positive gain are present.
  • Fixed Q calculation and added a control to select Constant Q, Proportional Q, or Lynx V1 Q (previous method). Note: Constant Q is the most common type used by most apps and devices including Sonarworks and REW (generic mode).
  • Fixed bug in high shelf and low shelf filter implementation.
  • Fixed bug that prevented an ATMOS source from being routed to multiple physical outputs.
  • Increased resolution of ATMOS channel gain to allow 0.1dB increments instead of 0.5dB increments.
  • NControl 1.0.10.11 or higher is required to access the new features.
  • The new features are described in detail with the Aurora(n) ATMOS User Manual.

Version 1.35 - Jan 12, 2026
  • Internal release.

Version 1.34 - Oct 30, 2025
  • When an SD card is inserted that does not have a valid exFAT or FAT file system on it, the Aurora(n) will now prompt to format the card.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause the Aurora(n) user interface to hang if the SD card is removed while playback or recording was active.
  • Supports LM-DIG Firmware 3. If a DB-ADAT is connected, LM-DIG Firmware 3 is required for the DB-ADAT to function properly with Aurora(n) Firmware 1.34 or higher.
  • Clock Setup: 2X and 4X rates are now user selectable when ADAT input is locked on Optical In 1 and the S/MUX bit is not turned on.
  • Optical Settings: Optical In 1 & 2 now show ADAT or SPDIF indication if locked.

Version 1.33 - March 25, 2024
  • Fixed issue where volume control might not mute completely when turned all the way down.

Version 1.32 - October 12, 2023
  • Dolby ATMOS filters are now stored in the startup scene. After an ATMOS Scene is made active, you should be able to power cycle the Aurora(n) and have the ATMOS Scene stay active. The scene is saved to EEPROM immediately upon opening a scene from the SD card or pressing "Apply" from NControl.
  • The ATMOS Enable checkbox should now accurately show the state of the Aurora(n).
  • When recalling an ATMOS Scene from the SD Card, if the scene did not have an LFE channel, it would not load properly. This has been corrected.
  • When recalling an ATMOS Scene from the SD Card, the scene is marked as an active NControl scene so the routing page will warn about losing the scene.

Version 1.31 - March 17, 2023
  • Added ATMOS support.
  • Changed Trim values to show full scale value: +20 dBu and +6 dBV.
  • Moved Restore Defaults from About page to Function Menu.
  • Moved SD card Format from SD Card page to SD Menu.
  • Added SD Menu to Function Menu. Moved "SD Card", "Sessions", "ATMOS Scenes", "Scenes", "Playlists", "Format" and "Firmware Update" to SD Menu.

Version 1.30 - March 17, 2023
  • Fixed issue with SD Record Setup page where the last selected group could have been hidden.
  • Fixed issue where selecting only LSlot inputs on SD Record Setup page would not turn on Record button for the LT-DANTE board upon power up.

Version 1.29 - January 18, 2023
  • Fixed SD Record Setup page when no SD card is inserted.

Version 1.28 - November 11, 2022
  • Fixed issue introduced with Version 1.27 that kept the firmware upgrade process from completing successfully when upgrading with LynxFirmware application. If you have Firmware Version 1.27 currently on your Aurora(n), you must upgrade the firmware using the microSD card. Instructions for this are linked on our website.

Version 1.27 - October 11, 2022
  • Fixed issue where the installation of an LM-A24 or LM-A4 into the upper slot in Bay 1 would disable the inputs of an LM-AIO8E board at sample rates above 48kHz.
  • Fixed issue where the installation of an LM-A24 would swap the controls of the two output trims for any LM-AIO8E board.
  • Fixed issue where selecting only LM-A24 inputs on SD Record Setup page would not turn on Record button.
  • Fixed issue where selecting only LSlot inputs on SD Record Setup page would not turn on Record button.

Version 1.26 - March 1, 2022
  • Added SD Record Enable to remote registers so NControl can update the SD Record Enable. Only available with NControl 1.0.7.4 and higher with MIDI Control Surface enabled.
  • Changed timing on setting LSlot device ID to improve firmware revision detection on LT-DANTE.
  • Fixed issue where NControl could not get volume or pan for source channel exactly equal to 32 (setting worked correctly). Requires NControl 1.0.7.4 or higher.

Version 1.25 - August 13, 2021
  • Added Play pan and volume controls for the first 12 outputs, Phones and the selected Monitor Out. Only available with NControl 1.0.6 and higher.

Version 1.24 - July 6, 2021
  • Fixed issue where NControl may see meter activity stop after a period of time.
  • Fixed issue where NControl could not control volume or pan for sources greater than 32. If the Aurora(n) has more than 32 inputs, NControl 1.0.5 or higher is also required for this to work properly.
  • Fixed issue where 48V and PAD relays may not engage for Preamp Channel 1 on certain configurations of Aurora(n).
  • Fixed issue where some control changes may not be applied when recalling a scene from NControl.
  • Fixed issue where LSlot record source would not save or recall properly from Scenes page.
  • Changed pan control to a modeled cross fader instead of a linear cross fader to more closely match to a physical hardware pan control.
  • Added Pan law to Settings page with values of 0.0dB, 3.0dB, 4.5dB or 6.0dB. This allows the user to set the amount of gain reduction applied when a mono source is panned to the center.
  • Added Swap A/B to Settings page: Rotary encoder click. When selected, pressing the rotary encoder when on any meter page will cause the "Group A" and "Group B" mutes to be toggled. This allows for two set of outputs to be swapped for comparison, such as full range monitors vs. control room monitors or a surround mix to a stereo mix. Selecting "Swap A/B" will also set "Group A/B" as the "RE volume" and set "RE wheel" to Volume.
  • Added Mute to Settings page: Rotary encoder click. When selected, pressing the rotary encoder when on any meter page will cause the selected "RE volume" output pair to be muted.
  • Added "Mute" indication to volume popup.

August 20, 2020 - Version 1.23
  • Fixed issue where trim may not be recalled properly upon power up with LT-USB installed.
  • Added support for "Group A" and "Group B" master volumes.
  • Group A or Group B can be selected as the Rotary Encoder volume so entire sets of channel volumes can be controlled with the rotary encoder.
  • Only NControl can assign outputs to Group A or Group B (NControl 1.0.2 and up).
  • By default only Group A is enabled, Group A volume is unity and all outputs are assigned to Group A. This allows Group A to be selected as the monitor out volume controller in the Settings page and control all outputs with the rotary encoder.
  • Added the ability to format the microSD card with exFAT format through the SD Card page.
  • About page channel display changed to only show types of channels currently installed.

March 26, 2020 - Version 1.22
  • Added "Playlists" page. Please see the Aurora(n) User Manual for full details on Playlists.
  • Scenes are now named *.ncs to match NControl, so scenes can be directly shared between NControl and the Aurora(n).
  • Scenes saved on the Aurora(n) now have the source volumes encoded to match NControl.
  • After recalling a scene that scene name is now shown with a highlighted background and the user interface stays on the Scenes page (instead of switching to the Meters page).
  • Fixed startup issue seen with a very small number of Aurora(n)'s with Firmware Version 1.21.

Feburary 15, 2020 - Version 1.21
  • Added support for DB-ADAT connected to LM-DIG. Please note that LM-DIG must have Firmware 2.0 installed to support DB-ADAT. Upgrade order should be:
    1. Install Firmware 1.21 on Aurora(n) then power off Aurora(n).
    2. Install Firmware 2.0 on LM-DIG then power off Aurora(n).
    3. Install DB-ADAT.
  • Added "Optical Settings" page which allows selection of Optical Out Mode of either ADAT, SPDIF or following the format of Optical In 1. Default is "Follow Optical In 1".
  • When a DB-ADAT is installed, on the Horizontal Meter Page > Meter Select will only show ADAT In and ADAT Out when user presses and holds the Function button for 1/2 second. Function button will have a blue back-light when over AES In, AES Out, ADAT In or ADAT Out as a reminder of the "hidden" function.
  • Added "Scenes" page. This new page allows saving and restoring scenes (which include all routing options) to the /Scenes folder on the microSD card. The scene file format is the same as the NControl scene format so scene files can be easily shared between the two. This makes recalling a specific routing setup in the field without a computer connected easy as the routing can be saved from NControl and recalled directly on the Aurora(n) from the microSD card.
  • Changed how "To LSlot Out" (where LSlot is replaced with the computer interface name) is selected on the Routing page. Now each source type can be enabled or disabled independently just like the "To Line Out" and "To Digital Out" routing options. If there are too many source channels to route to the LSlot outputs (when the USB is in 8-channel mode, for instance), source buttons are turned off to show which channels are actually being routed. Please note that Preamp In source will never be automatically turned off. This means that the Aurora(n) PRE1608-USB model running in 8-channel USB mode will need to have the Preamp In source turned off manually before Line In source can be selected. Custom LSlot channel routing can be done in NControl by using the Menu > LSlot record source (again, where LSlot is replaced with the computer interface name.)

November 5, 2019 - Version 1.20
  • Improved LT-HD2 sample rate changes to prevent ProTools error messages with HD Native card (requires LT-HD2 firmware 6).
  • Fixed issue where NControl LSlot record routing was being overwritten on startup.
  • Fixed issue where SynchroLock would unlock if clocking externally and microSD card record was started.
  • Please note: If the Aurora(n) currently has 1.14, 1.16 or 1.18 you must update the firmware using the microSD card method described above.

August 5, 2019 - Version 1.19
  • Fixed issue that prevented NUpdate from completing a firmware update over the bus (Thunderbolt, Dante or USB). If the Aurora(n) currently has 1.14, 1.16 or 1.18 you must update the firmware using the microSD card method described above. If the Aurora(n) has 1.10A or below, NUpdate will function normally.

April 4, 2019 - Version 1.18 BETA
  • Fixed issue that ignored FAT32 4GB file size limitation for the SDCard support (32GB or smaller microSD cards). Now when a FAT32 formatted microSD card is used, the time remaining will count down to the 4GB file size limitation instead of the space remaining on the SDCard. Recording will automatically stop when the file reaches 4GB in size. Formatting with exFAT removes the 4GB file size limitation.
  • Added Settings page to allow user to select 5 customizable settings:
  • Phones Source: Allows the user to set the Basic or Advanced phone source page is shown when the "Phones Source" button is pressed. Please note that when using NControl the Aurora(n) will only show changes in NControl when using the Phones Source Advanced page.
  • LSlot Meter: Allows the user to select if the LSlot meter page is shown as Separate or Combined (if possible). Previously if the LSlot meters could fit on a single "All I/O" page, it would combined them. Now the user as the option of forcing the LSlot meters to a separate page. If there are too many meters for a combined page, the Combined button will be disabled.
  • RE click: This setting allows the user to select what pressing the rotary encoder button will do when on the meter pages. Valid selections are:
    • Function Menu (abbreviated "Function") will show the Function Menu.
    • Preamp (if a LM-PRE4 board is installed, will show the Preamp page.
    • DIM, will reduce the volume of the Monitor Out by 20dB.
    • Nothing, will do nothing when the rotary encoder is clicked. This prevents and inadvertent rotary encoder bump from changing settings on the Aurora(n).
  • RE wheel: This setting allows the user to select what rotating the rotary encoder will do when on the meter pages. Valid selections are: SD Shuttle (previously the only action available) and Monitor Out Volume (abbreviated "Volume"). When Volume is selected, the Monitor Out volume is set with the Monitor Out button.
  • Monitor Out: Allows the user to select which output pair are designated as the "Monitor Out" for both the "RE click: DIM" function and the "RE wheel: Volume" function.
  • When date and time are set from NControl, a date and time popup appears over the meters page for 3 seconds to let the user know the setting was accepted by the Aurora(n).
  • Preamp Settings page: Removed "Rotary encoder click" setting as this is now changed on the "Settings" page.
  • Allowed remote control of the "Monitor Out" channel selection from NControl. Hold the "Control" key on the keyboard while clicking on the output select button. Visual indication of the Monitor Out select is show as a highlighted box around the name of the output selected.
  • Fixed a bug on the Phone Source Advanced page where the Function button was Cyan instead of Blue (pressing Blue Function button moves the Blue group focus; pressing the White Select button moves the White control focus).
  • Added front panel control lock function to disable all front panel buttons. Press and hold the "Meter/Exit" button for 1/2 second to engage front panel control lock. All button LEDs will go out except "Meter/Exit" will turn Red. Press and hold the "Meter/Exit" button for 1/2 to turn off front panel control lock.

January 14, 2019 - Version 1.16
  • Added support for LT-HD2 LSlot card.

November 28, 2018 - Version 1.14 BETA
  • Added support for NControl.
  • Added new Phone Source page to go along with support for NControl so changes in NControl are reflected on-screen.

November 2, 2018 - Firmware 1.10A
  • Lynx recommends doing a Restore Defaults after a firmware update. Function Menu > About > Select > OK.
  • Fixed issue with Firmware 1.10 that may rarely cause the Aurora(n) to not startup properly if the Aurora(n) is turned on then off very quickly.

November 2, 2018 - Firmware 1.10A
  • Lynx recommends doing a Restore Defaults after a firmware update. Function Menu > About > Select > OK.
  • Fixed issue with Firmware 1.10 that may rarely cause the Aurora(n) to not startup properly if the Aurora(n) is turned on then off very quickly.

May 30, 2018 - Firmware 1.10
  • Lynx recommends doing a Restore Defaults after a firmware update. Function Menu > About > Select > OK.

  • Changed SD Record Setup page to allow for individual channel selection.

November 9, 2017 - Firmware 1.7
  • Lynx recommends doing a Restore Defaults after a firmware update. Function Menu > About > Select > OK.
  • For Aurora(n)-16 USB only: To Digital Out source for USB Play are channels 1-16 instead of just after the analog channels.
  • Added the ability to update LT-HD firmware from the SD card.
  • Added support for LM-DIG board in UI. If LM-DIG board is installed in SLOT 4 (under LSlot connector) this will add 16-channels of AES/EBU. Please note the LSlot boards have a maximum of 32-channels, so an Aurora(n) with 24-channels of analog i/o and an LM-DIG will exceed the maximum channels that can be routed to the LSlot board. The Routing Menu allows the user to select having either the Analog channels first, or the Digital channels first to accommodate this.
  • Phones Source: Mixing and individual input volume control are now possible for the phones source. Please see Section 6.3 of the Aurora(n) User Manual for more information.
  • Phones Source: If SD Card is not installed, SD Play channels are no longer shown.
  • Phones Source: If LSlot (Thunderbolt/USB/Dante/HD) is not present or not connected, LSlot Play channels are no longer shown.
  • Test Tone: Added the ability to send test tone to the LSlot (Thunderbolt/USB/Dante/HD) outputs, to aid in testing computer routing and connection issues.

July 11, 2017 - Firmware 1.5
  • Fixed screen DMA copy issue while recording at high sample rates/channel count.
  • Ignore hidden folders (Sessions) and files (Takes).
  • Fixed issue where renamed Session would not update the take names because the session folder had changed out from underneath the take.
  • Changed horizontal meter scale to go from -80 to -60dB to match All I/O page meters.
  • Disallowed LSlot clock update while recording and playing.
  • Horizontal meter page: Fixed bottom meter right channel overloads

Aurora(n) Firmware Revision History

Version 1.36 - March 17, 2026
  • Added global pre-DSP attenuation control to prevent clipping when filters with positive gain are present.
  • Fixed Q calculation and added a control to select Constant Q, Proportional Q, or Lynx V1 Q (previous method). Note: Constant Q is the most common type used by most apps and devices including Sonarworks and REW (generic mode).
  • Fixed bug in high shelf and low shelf filter implementation.
  • Fixed bug that prevented an ATMOS source from being routed to multiple physical outputs.
  • Increased resolution of ATMOS channel gain to allow 0.1dB increments instead of 0.5dB increments.
  • NControl 1.0.10.11 or higher is required to access the new features.
  • The new features are described in detail with the Aurora(n) ATMOS User Manual.

  • Fixed issue where some control changes may not be applied when recalling a scene from NControl.
  • Fixed issue where LSlot record source would not save or recall properly from Scenes page.
  • Changed pan control to a modeled cross fader instead of a linear cross fader to more closely match to a physical hardware pan control.
  • Added Pan law to Settings page with values of 0.0dB, 3.0dB, 4.5dB or 6.0dB. This allows the user to set the amount of gain reduction applied when a mono source is panned to the center.
  • Added Swap A/B to Settings page: Rotary encoder click. When selected, pressing the rotary encoder when on any meter page will cause the "Group A" and "Group B" mutes to be toggled. This allows for two set of outputs to be swapped for comparison, such as full range monitors vs. control room monitors or a surround mix to a stereo mix. Selecting "Swap A/B" will also set "Group A/B" as the "RE volume" and set "RE wheel" to Volume.
  • Added Mute to Settings page: Rotary encoder click. When selected, pressing the rotary encoder when on any meter page will cause the selected "RE volume" output pair to be muted.

August 20, 2020 - Version 1.23
  • Fixed issue where trim may not be recalled properly upon power up with LT-USB installed.
  • Added support for "Group A" and "Group B" master volumes.
  • Group A or Group B can be selected as the Rotary Encoder volume so entire sets of channel volumes can be controlled with the rotary encoder.
  • Only NControl can assign outputs to Group A or Group B (NControl 1.0.2 and up).
  • By default only Group A is enabled, Group A volume is unity and all outputs are assigned to Group A. This allows Group A to be selected as the monitor out volume controller in the Settings page and control all outputs with the rotary encoder.
  • Added the ability to format the microSD card with exFAT format through the SD Card page.
  • About page channel display changed to only show types of channels currently installed.

March 26, 2020 - Version 1.22
  • Added "Playlists" page. Please see the Aurora(n) User Manual for full details on Playlists.
  • Scenes are now named *.ncs to match NControl, so scenes can be directly shared between NControl and the Aurora(n).
  • Scenes saved on the Aurora(n) now have the source volumes encoded to match NControl.
  • After recalling a scene that scene name is now shown with a highlighted background and the user interface stays on the Scenes page (instead of switching to the Meters page).
  • Fixed startup issue seen with a very small number of Aurora(n)'s with Firmware Version 1.21.

Feburary 15, 2020 - Version 1.21
  • Added support for DB-ADAT connected to LM-DIG. Please note that LM-DIG must have Firmware 2.0 installed to support DB-ADAT. Upgrade order should be:
    1. Install Firmware 1.21 on Aurora(n) then power off Aurora(n).
    2. Install Firmware 2.0 on LM-DIG then power off Aurora(n).
    3. Install DB-ADAT.
  • Added "Optical Settings" page which allows selection of Optical Out Mode of either ADAT, SPDIF or following the format of Optical In 1. Default is "Follow Optical In 1".
  • When a DB-ADAT is installed, on the Horizontal Meter Page > Meter Select will only show ADAT In and ADAT Out when user presses and holds the Function button for 1/2 second. Function button will have a blue back-light when over AES In, AES Out, ADAT In or ADAT Out as a reminder of the "hidden" function.
  • Added "Scenes" page. This new page allows saving and restoring scenes (which include all routing options) to the /Scenes folder on the microSD card. The scene file format is the same as the NControl scene format so scene files can be easily shared between the two. This makes recalling a specific routing setup in the field without a computer connected easy as the routing can be saved from NControl and recalled directly on the Aurora(n) from the microSD card.
  • Changed how "To LSlot Out" (where LSlot is replaced with the computer interface name) is selected on the Routing page. Now each source type can be enabled or disabled independently just like the "To Line Out" and "To Digital Out" routing options. If there are too many source channels to route to the LSlot outputs (when the USB is in 8-channel mode, for instance), source buttons are turned off to show which channels are actually being routed. Please note that Preamp In source will never be automatically turned off. This means that the Aurora(n) PRE1608-USB model running in 8-channel USB mode will need to have the Preamp In source turned off manually before Line In source can be selected. Custom LSlot channel routing can be done in NControl by using the Menu > LSlot record source (again, where LSlot is replaced with the computer interface name.)

November 5, 2019 - Version 1.20
  • Improved LT-HD2 sample rate changes to prevent ProTools error messages with HD Native card (requires LT-HD2 firmware 6).
  • Fixed issue where NControl LSlot record routing was being overwritten on startup.
  • Fixed issue where SynchroLock would unlock if clocking externally and microSD card record was started.
  • Please note: If the Aurora(n) currently has 1.14, 1.16 or 1.18 you must update the firmware using the microSD card method described above.

August 5, 2019 - Version 1.19
  • Fixed issue that prevented NUpdate from completing a firmware update over the bus (Thunderbolt, Dante or USB). If the Aurora(n) currently has 1.14, 1.16 or 1.18 you must update the firmware using the microSD card method described above. If the Aurora(n) has 1.10A or below, NUpdate will function normally.

April 4, 2019 - Version 1.18 BETA
  • Fixed issue that ignored FAT32 4GB file size limitation for the SDCard support (32GB or smaller microSD cards). Now when a FAT32 formatted microSD card is used, the time remaining will count down to the 4GB file size limitation instead of the space remaining on the SDCard. Recording will automatically stop when the file reaches 4GB in size. Formatting with exFAT removes the 4GB file size limitation.
  • Added Settings page to allow user to select 5 customizable settings:
  • Phones Source: Allows the user to set the Basic or Advanced phone source page is shown when the "Phones Source" button is pressed. Please note that when using NControl the Aurora(n) will only show changes in NControl when using the Phones Source Advanced page.
  • LSlot Meter: Allows the user to select if the LSlot meter page is shown as Separate or Combined (if possible). Previously if the LSlot meters could fit on a single "All I/O" page, it would combined them. Now the user as the option of forcing the LSlot meters to a separate page. If there are too many meters for a combined page, the Combined button will be disabled.
  • RE click: This setting allows the user to select what pressing the rotary encoder button will do when on the meter pages. Valid selections are:
    • Function Menu (abbreviated "Function") will show the Function Menu.
    • Preamp (if a LM-PRE4 board is installed, will show the Preamp page.
    • DIM, will reduce the volume of the Monitor Out by 20dB.
    • Nothing, will do nothing when the rotary encoder is clicked. This prevents and inadvertent rotary encoder bump from changing settings on the Aurora(n).

Wichtige Hinweise und Haftungsausschluß
Das Updaten benötigt nur wenige Minuten. Sobald der Updatevorgang erfolgreich abgeschlossen ist, müssen Sie ihren Computer herunterfahren und ausschalten bzw. Ihren Wandler vom Netz trennen, damit die neue Firmware aktiviert wird.

Sollte das Updaten fehlschlagen, schalten Sie den Computer bzw. den Wandler solange nicht aus, bis der Updatevorgang erfolgreich war. Da das Update nur aktiviert wird, wenn der Computer bzw. der Wandler ausgeschaltet war, können Sie nach einem fehlgeschlagenen Versuch den Rechner gegebenenfalls neu booten und den Updatevorgang wiederholen.

Bitte beachten: Schließen Sie alle laufenden Applikationen, bevor Sie die Firmware des Lynx Wandlers updaten. Unterbrechen oder stoppen Sie den Windows Task Scheduler (System Agent) und stellen Sie sicher, daß die Stromversorgung für Ihren Computer während des Updatevorganges nicht unterbrochen werden kann (Netzstecker überprüfen). Sollte das Updaten während des Vorganges unterbrochen werden, kann dies zu einem nicht mehr funktionierenden Lynx Wandler führen, der nur noch per kostenpflichtigem Service des Herstellers repariert werden kann.

Haftungsausschluß: Die unsachgemäße Anwendung des Firmware Updates kann dazu führen, daß Ihre Lynx Wandler anschließend nicht richtig oder nicht mehr funktioniert. Sie sollten das Update nur dann durchführen, wenn Sie sich sicher sind, daß Sie dieses fehlerfrei anwenden können. Die Firma Lynx Studio Technology hat beim Erstellen der Update Routinen größtmögliche Sorgfalt für deren sichere Anwendung walten lassen. Dennoch übernehmen weder Lynx Studio Technology noch Digital Broadcast Systems GmbH eine Haftung für eventuelle Schäden, die durch unsachgemäße Anwendung der Update Routinen an der Hardware- oder Software-Installation des Benutzers entstehen könnten.
