Channel Sel and Rec/A Switches
The channel strip features channel
Sel
and
Rec
/
A
switches
that operate as follows:
Sel
Selects that track in the application, and
attentions
it.
.
Rec/A
Record-enables a track in the application.
• In Pro Tools, the
Rec
switch flashes red to indicate that track is enabled (armed) for recording, and is lit solid when recording
is in progress.
• Pressing a lit
Rec
switch disables that track for recording.
A (SHIFT + Rec/A)
Changes the automation mode for a track.The selected automation mode appears in the channel strip (Mixer
view) and Track tile (Tracks view) on-screen in the Control app.
Configuring the Rec/A Switch Priority
You can swap the default function of this switch in EuControl. When swapped, the default function (without
SHIFT
) changes the
track automation mode, and the
SHIFT
function record enables the track. For more information, see the
Using EuControl Sur-
faces.pdf
.
Control Room/Monitor
This encoder defaults to Control Room level, and its
SHIFT
function to Monitor level in supported applications. The
Monitoring
page in the Pro Tools Control app lets you assign and manage monitor controls. The
Monitoring
page supports any hardware or soft-
ware application with a EUCON Monitor, such as Pro Tools | MTRX, Avid XMON, Studio Monitor Pro 2, as well as Nuendo, Cu-
base, and Pyramix.
Main Level and Cut (mute) are also supported in Pro Tools without MTRX or XMON (requires Pro Tools 18.7 or higher) when you
use the Enable EUCON Monitor feature. For more information, see the
Using EuControl Surfaces.pdf
.
Surface SHIFT
Most switches have secondary functions that are shown next to each switch (such as
Bank/<Nudge
, where
<Nudge
is the sec-
ondary function). To access these secondary functions, use either of the two
SHIFT
switches located at the lower-left and
lower-right sides of the Dock.
SHIFT
can be engaged momentarily or latched on.
To engage Surface SHIFT momentarily:
Press and hold the
Surface
SHIFT
switch.
To latch SHIFT on:
1
Open EuControl Settings and navigate to the
Preferences
tab.
2
In the
Miscellaneous
section, enable
Latching Shift
.
In Pro Tools and other applications, multiple tracks can be selected, but only one can be attentioned. In this case, the attentioned
track is the last one selected.
