Euphonix DP Update

[Frodo]

Just saw this in MIX Magazine online:

It's really nice to hear that this has worked out.

Is the driver still Public Beta, or have they updated it since IO's last report?

[IO]

BETA - correction as i spoke with Euphonix... THEY SAY ITS NOT BETA...

[IO]

So if you have been reading this post you have read the issues i have been having, i just spoke with tech support @ euphonix and he said yeah they know about it and to uninstall the eucon software and reinstall it.. also to change the application name from Digital Performer 6.01 to Digital Performer 6. i am doing this now and will let you know how it turns out.. i was about to go pick up an mc control.. but what good would it do me if the driver does not work fully everytime...

[IO]

Same thing i can never get the first 3 channel strips to register a oled volumes level... it works in logic.. but not DP.. just a heads up...

[aaronengraves]

for the mackie console ....when you go to the website, click each link of software representation and it describes three different compatability options.
DP is only listed for two. They made it with logic in favoritism.


it seems like euphonix has the SAME exact issue

Let's hope they roll out the updates on it before they produce another piece of hardware that is far superior. Hope the euphonix works out for you guys~!

[IO]

So i have a call today with the "DP specialist" @ euphonix @ 3:00 pm to discuss the current issues with the DP eucon adapter, i will post the results of this call later.... For now produce in DP and mix in Logic Pro 8

From what i got from the call today... Euphonix is aware of the issues and a .0X release will happen in about a week or so to resolve the issues.. So until then...

[IO]

and the new revison of the eucon adapter is out version 1.2.3 i am downloading it now and will reply with my findings...

EuControl Software Package Version 1.2.3
Mac OSX
Software for both MC Control and MC Mix. Improvements for MOTU Digital Performer and other applications. Included firmware addresses fader position spikes.

[IO]

So for the low down...

1. the OLED level meters never worked on the MIDI, instrument, and master Faders.. They still dont work, but on audio tracks they are fine.
2. the Master track pan is always set hard right, dont hear a difference though..
3. The old version of eucontrol 1.2.2 crashed dp on quit.. This one does too...
4. DP does not follow the euphonix when switching banks...

overall it feels snappier.. can i say that..?

[Frodo]

S.. also to change the application name from Digital Performer 6.01 to Digital Performer 6.

That's an odd suggestion at first glance-- but since there's been a more recent update maybe it's moot.

I guess there are no residual problems with changing the app name.

I cant my jog wheel on the Control to actually jog time in DP ? Can anyone else? works with Logic Pro fine though.

[IO]

i have the MC mix.. i was hoping this eucon adapter would be ready... but sadly its not so i didnt bother buying the MC control yet... Curious to ask how the soft keys function in DP..? are they responsive..? thanks

[pastiche27]

They are responsive. However, they are not well organized in their default layout and they are rather sparse. The implementation is very beta unlike the layout for logic 8 which was done very well. You can edit the softkeys , I just haven't had the time to sit down and do this as of yet.
