Avid Channel Strip
I've been using the S6 for more than a month now and I'm getting used to it more and more, but I feel certain things still have to be sorted out, the most important being the question of plug-in mapping.
I still couldn't find the Channel Strip "Phase Reverse" button, neither on the touch screen, nor on the surface. It is a crucial command (at least for me) and it should definitely find it's place on touch screen and on the knob module. The Compressor/Gate/Xpander looks good and is easy to use with this mapping scheme. I also like the way I can quickly insert the Channel Strip on a track with no inserts by hitting the "EQ" button on the surface. Would it be possible to choose the insert point? In most cases I would have something on insert "a" and I'd like my Channel Strip on insert "b". I don't think it is possible right now. And for dummies like me, what prevents other manufacturers' plugins to map correctly to S6 Touch screen and Knob module? Who should we ask to do it: Avid or plug-in manufacturers? I am particularly interested in Massey and Cedar plugins. Is there a way to create sends in Pro Tools from the surface? |

Re: Avid Channel Strip
If you get to the eq through the eq button, that's Avid's standard plug in eq ap. All eqs should map the same though that. If you got to any plug in through the inserts button, you are using the manufactures plug in map. So you need to ask the plug in manufacturer to make a s6 plug in map. BTW I have spoken with Paul at Cedar many times about making a s6 plug in map. And I have spoken with avid to ask cedar to make a plug in map. Please email Paul about making a plug in map for the cedar. cedar is basically unusable right now on the s6.

Re: Avid Channel Strip
If you compare the plug in mapping luxury we had on ICONs, the S6 looks really ridiculous, especially in cases like DNSOne. Mapping to faders and seeing attenuation bars on meters, wow! Editing your own mappings, too!
As far as I could understand from Eddie's posts, folks ad Avid/Euphonix have begun to realize there are difficulties in mirroring ICON functionalities, even at basic level, like fader flip, so we should prepare ourselves for a long period of waiting, I guess... |

Re: Avid Channel Strip
It would help a lot if they'd lift the PageTable xml out of the codesigning trap, allowing each of us to use their preferred mapping.
As apparently plugin manufacturers cant be bothered to fix the mapping themselves. |

We'll look at putting it into the EQ knobset too. |

https://youtu.be/HZY7deEqiEI?t=136 Does command clicking the plug-in Automation icon in a plug-in when it shows you the table allow you to map things for a plug-in? I would like to be able to map the Waves F6 EQ to the standard parameters and currently, it doesn't even show up on the EQ page though it is recognized as an EQ plug-in. Fab Filter Pro Q3 forces me to click with the mouse to enable a point before I can turn a band but I can insert mode with on page 2 with BxFreq and the in button. I would really love to map this to the standard EQ button and adjust frequencies that way. Is there a way to do this now? I can't find anything in Jeff's S6 PDF or the S6 Manual or online. Jeff has posted XML files for plug-in mapping he has done but not sure how he did that. |
