Protools 12.6 ready?

[Stereo Missile]

Just wondering if the current S6 software will work with Protools 12.6? Or do we need to wait for an S6 update?

Thanks!

Hi Eddie,

We are just pulling the trigger on a S6 32 fader M40 desk but have been waiting for the new units from all developers before we throw up our cash .. so new S6 you say What will this mean for pricing and function etc .. i also know you can't really discuss this but if there is any info we would gladly accept that

I meant new S6 software. The main thing is that we have merged all EUCON teams and software development into one. I am now the Product Manager for all Surfaces. Going forward we will release at the same time, with the same version number for all products. This greatly simplifies testing, reliability, Co install of S6/EuControl/MCPro and eventually S5. To get the versions synced we have had to jump S6 to v3.5. The first thing you will notice is up to 50% increase in speed of session loads, Layout recall, banking and attentioning. There are also a few smaller features. The licensing has been changed from a per release activation to a yearly one that follows your support contract. More info will also shown in your Avid account.

That sounds great so we will be jumping on the deal we have got fromour dealer and join the S6 family by early october depending on shipment speed

Again Big Ups for the swift reply Eddie

Makes this jump even more easy to decide about!

Welcome to the S6 family...that will be a nice system !

''The main thing is that we have merged all EUCON teams and software development into one''. Does this include the S3 maybe we will see some new products.

This is in relation to software only at this point. So for example a feature like multiple EUCON Softkey Macros that was introduced on S6 would be easier to implement in EuControl now.

Now I understand the video I saw today from AES and the guy talks about S6 3.5 and it keep me asking:
-what the hell... last time I check it was just 2.2...

Good to know.
