Default Transport Lock S6 Versions

Not sure if this has been covered.

Does transport still lock to a single workstation when using a multi workstation workflow via satellite?

We are able to lock the transport to a workstation but when attentioning a different workstation and attempting to navigate timecode position from the attentioned, non transport locked workstation the numeric pad is unresponsive.

This happens on both S6s running 19.12 and 19.4. However, we have a third S6 running 18.3 which responds as expected when locking transport to one workstation and moving to others. Is this a deliberate feature in the later versions?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

Are you employing Transport Lock on your workstation in order to maintain transport functions in Pro Tools while you flip to DADman or another EUCON based application? I’m trying to understand your exact workflow - especially regarding multiple workstations. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

We're switching between different workstations all running Pro Tools as the Eucon application.

The user wishes to be able to use the numeric pad to enter and control timecode positional info into a specific Pro Tools on a specific workstation, regardless of whichever workstation (and corresponding Pro Tools is attentioned) on the surface.

Thanks

Got it. Transport Lock is really only intended to keep one EUCON enabled app (Pro Tools, DADman, Cubase...) locked to that DAWs transport commands. This isn’t necessary regarding multiple workstations - especially if you are always using Pro Tools on all workstations. Simply focus any of up to 8 attached WS’s via MTM or SoftKeys and then you should be able to trigger any EUCON, Keyboard or Surface functions from the surface.

On a side note, Transport Lock only applies to the bottom section of the Automation Module. The numpad section you are referring to is actually part of the Locate category if you look at Settings > Soft Keys on the Master Module.

Also...are you confident that all the workstations in question have accessibility enabled for keyboard input under the macOS? If not, it won’t allow you to transmit numpad functions.

Let me know.


best,


Jeff
