Audio 6/10 firmware update
Posted on: 21.02.2013 by Pansy Shiveley
Today... is a good day! The new Audio 6/10 firmware introduces Core Audio support, not only making them iPad compatible, but finally fixing the USB 3.0 issue for Windows devices (well, for me at least). Appears to be stable!

Grab it here: http://co.native-instruments.com/ind...raktor_Audio_6
(Note: this is a firmware update, not a driver update, so you can't find it in service center)

I just updated the firmware. You still can not control the master volume output of your Audio 6/10 within OSX. It must be done via software.

I doubt it. I have an Audio 8 and they probably won't release for mine either.

it's NI's way of saying they are becoming obsolete. probably time to upgrade to a 10 soon..

core audio is not something that they can restrict to only Traktor DJ if it were restricted it was not core audio

It works with DJ Player and there is a timecode signal being received. I can't get it out of the white currently though even with the threshold set to max.

Edit. Not sure actually if I'm picking up timecode signal or a ground loop..looks more like the latter.

Nope, definitely Core Audio (see http://www.native-instruments.com/en...pecifications/)
I've once read on the NI board that the current Audio series would probably never be USB Class Compliant, because of something with asynchronous buffering iirc.

"Changes in Firmware version 47 (Traktor Audio 6) and version 48 (Traktor Audio 10): Added support for iOS for Traktor Audio 6 and Traktor Audio 10."

I thought they explained they are now class compliant, not core audio support. So class compliant implies they will function with any class compliant audio device/app.

No firmware updates for 4/8 in sight, but let's not forget there is a beta driver from late january (that I just noticed) for all interfaces which supposedly alleviates some of the USB 3.0 issues... that's at least something. Hopefully it doesn't stay a beta.

Sometimes the hardware is not capable of certain features as well though
