Especially the integration of the BLC and the BLC's sources has been improved, For example one can select a tracknumer on a cd or with the BS9000 one can select which cd should start.
Also the Join/Link of ML sources BLC connected are working better/simpler.

It's such a cool physical product thats so underutilized with its simple software.  Shame.

Carolpa.

Excuse me, but are you saying that you can control BS9000 with the Halo? How?

simple answer: Yes

I start the BS9000 als source of the Shape. Then one can select which cd to play by selecting a number (new in this sw version)
I will post pictures later today.

I didn't try to select a tracknumber on the BS9000 after a certain CD is playing, but on my BS7000 CD I can now select a track.

Are you playing the BS9000/ 7000CD through a core? I am interested to see how you have connected up? And how are you selecting source? I have the new Halo update. I don't see any numbers anywhere?

You need a Beolink Converter to use the Halo for control of the 9000 unless you have the 9000c with it's updated connection module.

The Beosystem 7000 is connecter to a BLC the BS9000 to another BLC. Schermafbeelding 2024-12-06 185642 Selecting a number changes which CD is playing on the BS9000. To select tracks you have to use previous and next. Selecting a number (or combination of numbers), the appropiate CD track is played on the Beogram CD 7000. some other features:

Very cool Carolpa 👍 The idea and technology to link classic products with new products, especially the control, are unique, bravo B&O 👏
A bit of topic, now that the beoplay charging pad is no longer sold, what charger do you use for your beoremote Halo?
Is there a "B&O style" charger on the market?

That looks fantastic! 'Just what I am trying to achieve. I need to get a Beolink NL/ML Converter. 'Working on it already.

The Beomaster 7000 needs to be controlled through the "speaker 2" 4 pin DIN Datalink outlets by the converter by the look of it?

How are you connecting to the NL/ML converter? I have a Masterlink/Datalink converter which I think may be required but connecting to that, 2X 4 pin DIN to  1 8-pin DIN looks like an impossible cable?
