Artist Control Banks Independently

This option is only available when an Artist Control is selected in the My Surfaces list. Multiple Artist Mix units always bank as

a single unit.

All Surfaces

All Surfaces shows all Artist media controllers on the network. A device shown in light gray is already connected either to your

own or another instance of EuControl running on a different workstation. In both cases, it is not selectable. Y

My Surfaces

My Surfaces shows the Artist media controllers connected to your instance of EuControl. There can be one Artist Control, one

Artist Transport, and up to four Artist Mixes in the My Surfaces list, linked together as a single large surface.

The top-to-bottom order corresponds to the left-to-right order of the surfaces, respectively. The left-most surface is assigned to

fader strip 1. Use the + and – buttons to reorder the list.

Each Artist media controller can be renamed by double-clicking the existing name and typing a new name.

Add

Click Add to add the selected All Surfaces entry to My Surfaces. This connects the selected Artist media controller to your instance

of EuControl. You can also click and drag an Artist media controller from All Surfaces to My Surfaces.

Add is disabled if all Artist media controllers in All Surfaces are connected to any instance of EuControl.

Remove

Click Remove to remove the selected surface from My Surfaces and make it available to other instances of EuControl.

Remove is disabled if no surface is selected.

Automatically Add

The Automatically Add menu has two settings that control what happens to stored Surfaces between shutdown and startup.

All Surfaces (Default) This setting is best used when you are the only person running EuControl in your home or studio. It pro-

vides an easy plug-and-play experience by automatically adding your All Surfaces list to your My Surfaces list so you never have

to manually edit the My Surfaces list.

My Surfaces Only This setting is useful in facilities where other EuControl users are on your network. When EuControl starts,

only the surfaces from your My Surfaces list are added. Because a surface can only be claimed by one user at a time, this avoids

claiming another user’s surfaces.

Update Firmware

Each time a new version of EuControl is installed, it checks each Artist Transport, Artist Control, and Artist Mix in your system

to determine if any firmware updates are required. The firmware is embedded in EuControl so an Internet connection is not re-

quired.

Select each Artist media controller in the My Surfaces list (Shift-click to select multiple devices). Click Update Firmware to update

their firmware. If a dialog displays a message that the firmware is up to date, no further action is necessary.

Follow the instructions in the EuControl dialog box.

• The Artist Series controllers must be plugged into a working power source.

• Do not power off any Artist Series controllers during the update or attempt to interrupt the update.

• The status for each Artist Series controller being updated is displayed on that device as well as in the EuControl dialog.

Show Info

Select an Artist Series controller and click Show Info to display the name of the unit, and hardware and software information.
