New EUCON Update Delivers Custom Plugin Mapping and Meter Creation for Avid Control Surfaces
August 04 2021 - 2:24PM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced a major update to the Avid
EUCON™ ethernet protocol that powers Avid control surfaces used in
Pro Tools®, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo and other digital audio
workstations (DAW), from the free Avid Control app to the flagship
Avid S6™. Now, thanks to EUCON 2021.6, audio creators can customize
everything from knob layouts for all their favorite plugins to the
metering information displayed in the Avid Control app. These
features offer unparalleled tactile control and visual feedback
over all aspects of a mix.
This version of EUCON includes a highly requested feature that
enables users of any EUCON-enabled DAW to customize how they
interact with all plugins from the control surface to suit their
specific workflows and projects. Users can set up custom knob
layouts for their preferred plugins, any way they want, to ensure
that the most-used plugin parameters are always right where they
want them located, significantly speeding up their mixing
workflows. Separate custom layouts can be optimized for various
control surface knob configurations; for example, 1x8 for Avid S1™,
2x4 for the Avid Dock, as well as 1x8, 2x4, and 4x8 for Avid S4™
and S6.
“Whether you use Pro Tools or another DAW, our EUCON control
surfaces have long led the industry when it comes to functionality
and integration. They’ve literally put the power of your software
at your fingertips,” said François Quereuil, VP Audio Product
Management at Avid. “We constantly focus on expanding their feature
set to overcome audio production challenges and speed up mixing
workflows.”
Avid S1, Avid S3™ and Dock control surfaces tightly integrate
with the free Avid Control app, which brings highly-detailed
S6-style metering from mono to surround formats. With EUCON 2021.6,
users can create their own meter strip layouts to optimize the
visual information presented while mixing to include exactly the
parameters that they want to see, in whatever order they want,
without cluttering up the mixer view with unneeded elements.
Along with custom knob layouts and meters, EUCON 2021.6 delivers
several other capabilities, including Pro Tools Auto Match
Indicators in Avid Control to aid in smoother automation writing
(previously only offered in Avid S4 and S6), Solo/Mute clear
buttons, GPO Fader Start for Avid S4 and S6, and many more
enhancements.
EUCON is Avid’s open, high-speed Ethernet control protocol that
allows its control surfaces to connect to a variety of Avid and
third-party creative audio and video software solutions. The
protocol delivers integrated control over multiple applications and
workstations, resulting in increased efficiencies and
cost-effective workflow expansions. EUCON is currently supported by
a wide variety of creative software, including Pro Tools, Media
Composer, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Adobe Premiere, Adobe
Audition, and many more.
