Soundcraft and Sound Technology are pleased to announce the availability of software release v6.4 for all Vi1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 7000 and Vi200/400/600 consoles.

This release includes several major new features which provide significant workflow enhancement to these Vi consoles:

• Autocomplete Patching
• Strip Lock: Lock fader strips or a temporary bay in place on the surface
• User Layers in Snapshots, with Isolation and Scope control

In addition to the new features described above, a number of bug fixes and reliability improvements have also been made in the V6.4 release:

• Support for patching of Soundcraft MSB16i and MSB32i Stageboxes
• Various stability improvements in response to customer-supplied log files, including when manipulating cue list order
• Improvement to touchscreen response in User layer assignment pages
• PFL Solo now not affected by Pan

An updated version of the Virtual Vi Offline Editor is also available allowing pre-programming of Show files.

The ViSi Remote app is updated to V3.5.1 to correspond with this release, which adds compatibility with Vi1000 and provides bug fixes. The new version is available now from the Apple App Store.
