Program Details

Here are a few technical details you may or might not want to know:

On Myxyr Cast

Myxyr can handle max 200 tracks/channels and max 200 Myxyr Ear connections

Myxyr Cast has been compiled as both 32-bit i386 and 64-bit plugin, so it is usable in 64bit and 32bit DAW programs.

Instances: only one Myxyr Cast can be working at a time. It opens TCP port 37875 for connections from clients. If you activate a second Myxyr in a second DAW project, the second one may not work, and it will see the channels or could hamper functionality of the first one. Better close them both and only restart one. In this case, you could choose to deny the permissions window to stop the Myxyr network. Myxyr will see when starting, that it is already (still) active, so you won't have to activate it again.  

At the very first start: if your Ears cannot connect, it might be needed to do a setting in Internet Connection Sharing', this is a manual action described in the Install Guidelines in the download zip. 

Some (old) Wi-Fi drivers cannot switch to Host mode. A driver is allright if you have a Virtual Wi-Fi Miniport next to your real Wi-Fi device. How to check:  go to Network Centre, then in the left tasks menu click 'adapters' or 'connections' to get your list of network devices. Two of them should have the Wi-Fi icon (5 bars from low to high), one is the real Wi-Fi card, one is the virtual Wi-Fi miniport.  If the virtual miniport is missing, check if you can find an updated driver, or get support. 

In case you have stopped the DAW with Myxyr Cast, and have not deactivated the Myxyr network, here is a way to do this manually: 
- Start a Command Prompt in administrator mode
- To stop the Myxyr network (hosted network in Windows) enter command > netsh wlan stop host
- To activate normal Wi-Fi networking and connectivity, enter command > netsh wlan set auto yes *

Myxyr Cast has been developed in JUCE (see www.juce.com), so we will a.s.a.p. make an AU version available. 

On Myxyr Ear

In the Myx screen there is a bottom line with signal information.
• The first number is a counter per 100 blocks, followed by the average block size in bytes. 
• The 3 numbers after the i are counters of missed data blocks. The second is cumulative, so may grow over a period of time. 
• The 3 numbers after the colon (:) are sample latency information, average over the last second. The first indicates the incoming Wi-Fi buffer, second the audio buffer, third the estimated total latency. These figures count approximately at 2200 :: 25 msec. 

Myxyr Ear finds Myxyr Cast by connecting to its 'gateway', to TCP port 37875, using a local 'any' free TCP port. After connecting it gets 'its' number and will open a UDP port 37876 for receiving audio. The TCP port stays connected and is used for control info like volume changes etc.

Myxyr Ear can handle 200 channels.

Myxyr Ear has been developed in JUCE (see www.juce.com), so an Android version will follow a.s.a.p. We still have some problems with Android audio driver latency. (who doesn't ?)
