Avid announced the immediate availability of a new version of EUCON software. The update introduces enhanced functionality to all Avid audio control surfaces, including Pro Tools S6, Pro Tools S3, Pro Tools Dock, and Artist Mix, as well as Pro Tools Control, Avid’s free iOS iPad app.

It includes new monitoring control, ICON-style scroll and Intelligent Attention workflows, allowing customers to deliver superior mixes even faster.

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, delivering integrated control over multiple applications and workstations, resulting in increased efficiencies and cost-effective workflow expansions.

EUCON is currently supported by a wide cross-section of Macintosh- and Windows-based applications, including Pro Tools, Media Composer®, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Premiere, Audition and many more.

EUCON 2019.5 delivers:

Full EUCON Monitoring Control from the Pro Tools | Control App

Controls any EUCON-enabled monitoring system (Pro Tools | MTRX, XMON, D-MON, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase and Pyramix) from an iPad

Sections of the control surface can be locked for dedicated monitor control while the rest of the controls can be used to mix another DAW

Full control of Source Selection, Speaker Cuts, Talkback and Cues

Free Pro Tools | Control App can be used standalone or integrated with Pro Tools | Dock for physical knobs and Softkey buttons
