EUCON 2024.10 now available for download
Key enhancements relate to software stability and performance. The update also includes improved softkey functionality, channel mode display, markers and meters, and new settings for the AVID Control Desktop interface. A number of enhancements have also been made to the S4 and S6 user interfaces.
Here are the most important new features in EUCON 2024.10:
- Improved Stability and Performance: EUCON 2024.10 is a significant release focusing on stability and performance. Much of the underlying code has been rewritten to support the new features added in recent years.
- AVID Control enhancements: AVID Control has been improved in terms of speed and integration with EuControl.
- Selecting tablet mode in AVID Control: AVID Control has a new mode selection drop-down list. Once tablets have been added to the My Surfaces list, you can use the new tablet mode selection to assign tablets to an available mode.
- Latching/non-latching talkback: A new Latching Talkback setting is available in EuControl Settings > Preferences. This setting allows you to set talkback so that it never latches.
- New Softkeys: New surface softkeys are available to focus on different sets of knobs (functions) such as Input, Inserts, Dynamics or Sends. Additional softkeys have also been added for navigating function pages, toggling channel mode on and off, and toggling flip on and off.
- Improved channel mode display on the OLEDs of the hardware control surface: the channel mode is now indicated by a bright yellow background, making the track data easier to see.
- Improved marker display and settings: The two previously available settings for "Show marker type" and "Show ruler marker colours behind track markers" have been combined into a single new setting that is more intuitive and flexible.
- AVID Control Desktop Show/Hide/Peek: New settings have been added to bring the AVID Control Desktop to the front when touching a fader, knob or button on the associated surface, with an adjustable timeout.
- Additions to S4 and S6: Various workflow improvements have been made to S4 and S6:
- Removed ATO from Trim switch
- Updated MTM DHCP server software
- You can now press and hold to reset all meter types and track meters to "unspecified".
- Layout+ now clears mapping if mapping already exists
- Improved PECDIR off-disk and input meter synchronisation when cascading busses and inserting plug-ins.
- Added a manually adjustable sync amount for each track and an option to recalibrate sync. Requires Pro Tools 2024.10 or higher.
- Also fixes sync issues with PEC/DIR on S6 consoles.
