Free software update v2.0 adds two new TonePrint types to BG250
BG250 bass combo ships with Chorus, Flanger, Vibrato and Octaver effects in its download arsenal. Updating to v2.0 adds SpectraComp and BassDrive to the line-up.
SpectraComp
SpectraComp is a three-band compressor that basically applies compression to each individual string as it handles bass, mid and treble frequencies individually. Traditional one-band compressors tend to be controlled only by the lower strings, but with SpectraComp compression now becomes much more musical. It can add subtle and transparent compression, but also be brutal and give a thunderous punch by applying heavy compression. Whatever type of bass compression is needed, SpectraComp delivers exactly that. SpectraComp has been ported directly from TC's high-end amps: Blacksmith and RH750 and is an integrated part of the overall Bass Amp 2.0 concept that TC introduced in 2009.
BassDrive
BassDrive is, as the name implies, an overdrive tailored specifically for bass. BG250 already features TubeDrive that adds warn, tube-like character that emulates not only the tubes of an analog preamp, but also a tube power amp section. The new BassDrive takes it a step further as it can be seriously cranked to become a growling and snarling overdrive monster - perfect for hardcore musical styles.

- A rare BSOD could occur when receiving MIDI input data
- The driver could exhibit audio dropouts and large spikes of CPU usage on some Windows 7 systems
- On Windows 7, the "Safe Mode Level 1 - 3" Operation Modes are now better at allowing the driver to operate on a system with a high DPC latency (at the expense of additional audio latency). The minimum ASIO buffer size has increased when using one of the Safe Modes on Windows 7
- The Control Panel's System tab now reports more details about the system configuration and an OHCI chipset's capabilities
- A BSOD could occur when changing WDM settings with certain WDM channel mapping configurations.
- A workaround has been added to avoid an intermittent BSOD that could occur in Microsoft's new 1394 OHCI bus driver on Windows 7 64-bit systems with a quad-core processor
- A BSOD could occur because of an error in the driver's WDM channel mapping logic.
- A BSOD could occur when attempting to view the WDM Microphone's properties

MAC Driver: Version 3.5.3
Supports 10.5.x/10.6.x- The driver has been updated to include Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" 64-bit driver support.
- If a device was attached while certain applications were active (iTunes and applications that use QuickTime, including web browsers), the CPU usage would increase and these applications' audio playback could become distorted.
- The uninstaller application would not correctly detect and uninstall the driver on a Mac running OS X 10.6 if the driver had been installed before the Mac was upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.
- If the user's language was set to a non-English language, MIDI could
- Channel names were not displayed in Audio MIDI Setup's speaker configuration window
- The driver could fail to load at system bootup with a device attached
- The driver would hang when used with a device that used a large channel count and a particular channel configuration
- A Kernel Panic could occur in low memory conditions
- MIDI output is now more accurately aligned with the audio
- The driver will now ignore any devices that are not on the same firewire bus as the master device
- Using large Core Audio buffer sizes on PowerPC Macs would often result in audio glitches
- The driver's streaming engine has been improved to minimize CPU usage
- Audio could become silent or distorted if other real time processes delayed the driver's streaming engine from processing its FireWire audio
- The driver is now much faster at reconfiguring its streaming engine, for instance after selecting a new sample rate
- When loading Cubase projects that used different sample rates, the driver would sometimes not switch to the correct sample rate
- After attaching a device for the first time, a device could sometimes appear in Audio MIDI Setup with 0 input channels and 0 output channels and could not be used for audio input or output. The workaround was to toggle the sample rate or clock source to get it to be republished correctly
- On rare occasions, the driver could hang when a device was removed
- In the Control Panel application's Event Log window, the device lock changed bits were displayed in reverse order
- The driver's streaming engine would unnecessarily restart twice when a device's channel configuration would change because of a change to the sample rate
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A device's nickname could become corrupted when it was shortened
- On rare occasions, a device's nickname would not be restored correctly after a system power-cycle
Control Panel
- SK48: +4 switch was inversed. Fixed.

New driver for PC:
Driver 3.5.0- The driver's performance on a system with high DPC latencies has been improved
- On Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft's new 1394 stack would sometimes fail to deallocate the isochronous bandwidth, requiring a system restart to restore the driver's functionality
- A BSOD could occur on multi-processor/core systems when the audio streaming configuration was changed or when it recovered from a dropout
- On Windows 7, the driver's minimum buffer size was not reported correctly
- An ASIO host application's audio could become distorted after a large DPC latency spike occurred on the system
- After putting a Windows 7 system to sleep, Microsoft's new 1394 stack was causing the driver to hang when the system was resumed

- A rare BSOD could occur when receiving MIDI input data
- The driver could exhibit audio dropouts and large spikes of CPU usage on some Windows 7 systems
- On Windows 7, the "Safe Mode Level 1 - 3" Operation Modes are now better at allowing the driver to operate on a system with a high DPC latency (at the expense of additional audio latency). The minimum ASIO buffer size has increased when using one of the Safe Modes on Windows 7
- The Control Panel's System tab now reports more details about the system configuration and an OHCI chipset's capabilities
- A BSOD could occur when changing WDM settings with certain WDM channel mapping configurations.
- A workaround has been added to avoid an intermittent BSOD that could occur in Microsoft's new 1394 OHCI bus driver on Windows 7 64-bit systems with a quad-core processor
- A BSOD could occur because of an error in the driver's WDM channel mapping logic.
- A BSOD could occur when attempting to view the WDM Microphone's properties

MAC Driver: Version 3.5.3
Supports 10.5.x/10.6.x- The driver has been updated to include Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" 64-bit driver support.
- If a device was attached while certain applications were active (iTunes and applications that use QuickTime, including web browsers), the CPU usage would increase and these applications' audio playback could become distorted.
- The uninstaller application would not correctly detect and uninstall the driver on a Mac running OS X 10.6 if the driver had been installed before the Mac was upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.
- If the user's language was set to a non-English language, MIDI could

- The driver is now much faster at reconfiguring its streaming engine, for instance after selecting a new sample rate
- When loading Cubase projects that used different sample rates, the driver would sometimes not switch to the correct sample rate
- After attaching a device for the first time, a device could sometimes appear in Audio MIDI Setup with 0 input channels and 0 output channels and could not be used for audio input or output. The workaround was to toggle the sample rate or clock source to get it to be republished correctly
- On rare occasions, the driver could hang when a device was removed
- In the Control Panel application's Event Log window, the device lock changed bits were displayed in reverse order
- The driver's streaming engine would unnecessarily restart twice when a device's channel configuration would change because of a change to the sample rate
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A device's nickname could become corrupted when it was shortened
- On rare occasions, a device's nickname would not be restored correctly after a system power-cycle
Control Panel
- SK48: +4 switch was inversed. Fixed.

Driver 3.5.0- The driver's performance on a system with high DPC latencies has been improved
- On Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft's new 1394 stack would sometimes fail to deallocate the isochronous bandwidth, requiring a system restart to restore the driver's functionality
- A BSOD could occur on multi-processor/core systems when the audio streaming configuration was changed or when it recovered from a dropout
- On Windows 7, the driver's minimum buffer size was not reported correctly
- An ASIO host application's audio could become distorted after a large DPC latency spike occurred on the system

New driver for PC (3.5.3 replaces 3.5.0):
- A rare BSOD could occur when receiving MIDI input data
- The driver could exhibit audio dropouts and large spikes of CPU usage on some Windows 7 systems
- On Windows 7, the "Safe Mode Level 1 - 3" Operation Modes are now better at allowing the driver to operate on a system with a high DPC latency (at the expense of additional audio latency). The minimum ASIO buffer size has increased when using one of the Safe Modes on Windows 7
- The Control Panel's System tab now reports more details about the system configuration and an OHCI chipset's capabilities
- A BSOD could occur when changing WDM settings with certain WDM channel mapping configurations.
- A workaround has been added to avoid an intermittent BSOD that could occur in Microsoft's new 1394 OHCI bus driver on Windows 7 64-bit systems with a quad-core processor
- A BSOD could occur because of an error in the driver's WDM channel mapping logic.
- A BSOD could occur when attempting to view the WDM Microphone's properties

- Audio could become silent or distorted if other real time processes delayed the driver's streaming engine from processing its FireWire audio
- The driver is now much faster at reconfiguring its streaming engine, for instance after selecting a new sample rate
- When loading Cubase projects that used different sample rates, the driver would sometimes not switch to the correct sample rate
- After attaching a device for the first time, a device could sometimes appear in Audio MIDI Setup with 0 input channels and 0 output channels and could not be used for audio input or output. The workaround was to toggle the sample rate or clock source to get it to be republished correctly
- On rare occasions, the driver could hang when a device was removed
- In the Control Panel application's Event Log window, the device lock changed bits were displayed in reverse order
- The driver's streaming engine would unnecessarily restart twice when a device's channel configuration would change because of a change to the sample rate
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A device's nickname could become corrupted when it was shortened
- On rare occasions, a device's nickname would not be restored correctly after a system power-cycle

New driver for PC (3.5.3 replaces 3.5.0):
- A rare BSOD could occur when receiving MIDI input data
- The driver could exhibit audio dropouts and large spikes of CPU usage on some Windows 7 systems
- On Windows 7, the "Safe Mode Level 1 - 3" Operation Modes are now better at allowing the driver to operate on a system with a high DPC latency (at the expense of additional audio latency). The minimum ASIO buffer size has increased when using one of the Safe Modes on Windows 7
- The Control Panel's System tab now reports more details about the system configuration and an OHCI chipset's capabilities
- A BSOD could occur when changing WDM settings with certain WDM channel mapping configurations.
- A workaround has been added to avoid an intermittent BSOD that could occur in Microsoft's new 1394 OHCI bus driver on Windows 7 64-bit systems with a quad-core processor
- A BSOD could occur because of an error in the driver's WDM channel mapping logic.
- A BSOD could occur when attempting to view the WDM Microphone's properties

- When loading Cubase projects that used different sample rates, the driver would sometimes not switch to the correct sample rate
- After attaching a device for the first time, a device could sometimes appear in Audio MIDI Setup with 0 input channels and 0 output channels and could not be used for audio input or output. The workaround was to toggle the sample rate or clock source to get it to be republished correctly
- On rare occasions, the driver could hang when a device was removed
- In the Control Panel application's Event Log window, the device lock changed bits were displayed in reverse order
- The driver's streaming engine would unnecessarily restart twice when a device's channel configuration would change because of a change to the sample rate
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A device's nickname could become corrupted when it was shortened
- On rare occasions, a device's nickname would not be restored correctly after a system power-cycle
Control Panel

Disclaimer
The M350 firmware upgrade can only be done using a PC running Windows. We have only tested it under Windows XP, but it may also work under other versions of Windows.We recommend using one of the following MIDI interfaces for the update:
• Creative Soundblaster PCI-128 • Edirol FA101 • M-Audio Oxygen 8 • Midiman USB Midisport 1x1, 2x2, 8x8 • Midiman Uno • MPU-401 compatible soundcards • Steinberg USB2 • Terratec EWS88These MIDI interfaces cannot be recommended for the update, as they have exhibited mixed results:
• Creamware Luna II • Emagic MT4 & Unitor8 • Edirol UM-1 • Edirol UM1S • Edirol PCR-50 • Edirol SD-90 • RME HDSP Digiface • RME FireFace • Steinberg MIDEX3 • Steinberg MIDEX8 • Turtle Beach VoyetraPlease note, this does not mean that the ones above are bad MIDI interfaces - they just don't work in this particular case.
If you do not have one of the above listed interfaces but another one not mentioned, please feel free to try it anyway.
For an updated list of MIDI interfaces, please refer to this support article:
http://tcsupport.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/tcsupport.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1860Please note, the software firmware cannot be made under Mac OS X.
This is not a deliberate choice on the side of TC Electronic. We know a lot of studios and musicians use the Mac.
Some customers have reported success using Virtual PC under Mac OS X with one of the recommended MIDI interfaces, but this is not a supported configuration.
The software firmware also does not work with standalone MIDI sequencers/workstations.
