plugin mapping / plot displays
Was reading up on McDSP v6:
The new Avid S3 and S6 control surfaces offer unique and exciting workflow advances for Pro Tools users. The McDSP v6 release carefully maps out every single control in our plug-ins intuitively for each control surface, creating a better workflow. Additional control surface features like plot displays on the S6 control surface are also included. God bless McDSP for being one of the very few to support the AAX DSP community but with FabFilter and so many other amazing Native options, I am reluctant to go back to FilterBank, etc. even with some improvements. However, seamless console integration could push me over the edge. When I bought my S6, an Avid rep told me that part of the intended benefit of AAX (aside from 64bit) was better control surface implementation. I was told that the S6 would eventually have the capability to not only intelligently map parameters to the knobs but display the plugin's actual GUI. Maybe I misunderstood. Wondering if anyone has heard anything to that effect? I'd love more visual detail than what is currently provided. Is that what McDSP is referring to when they say "plot displays"? Curious if anyone knows who is responsible for increasing that functionality - plugin developers or the S6 software team? Last edited by loud neighbor; 01-26-2015 at 10:16 PM. |

Just my 2 cents based on what I was told at the various S6 demos I've received over the past year and a half. |

Re: plugin mapping / plot displays
Right now the whole plugin mapping is very inconsistent and bad at many places, even with their own Avid plugins. I truly hope they're going to do something in the next release.

Also I think Avid needs to enable more customisation on how plugin parameters are laid out on the surface, as I'm sure most plugin devs don't have access to an S6 to test it!

Re: plugin mapping / plot displays
Yes, we all are very early adopters. I always say, the S6 has the potential to become the best, it's up to Avid what they're going to do with it.

Re: plugin mapping / plot displays
Been advocating for this in many years now... Unfortunately Avid has proven to show very little care for there customers. Well done Avid!

Re: plugin mapping / plot displays
I can assure you this is way off the mark. When did you install your S6 ?

There are a few different parts to plugin support on the S6.

Had many bad or inconsistent mapping with Fabfilter for example. Slate plugins are among the worst, but it seems they don't really care about this. :) Plugin Alliance is pretty good, and they also very responsive if someone has any issue.
