Turning Off MMM Display Mode
Hello, I just updated my S6 with V3.7 and tried the new MMM feature. It might be helpful sometimes but I certainly don't want to dedicate one of my display modules to that type of display. Once configured the "Surface" settings, does anyone know if there a way to toggle it on and off (switch between my normal display and the MMM version on a particular display module)? Thanks.

Re: Turning Off MMM Display Mode
Greetings,
It is currently not possible to dynamically enable and disable a MMM. You need to return back to the Surface page and clear the assigned MMM if you want to remove it and revert back to the standard display module behavior. best, Jeff |

Re: Turning Off MMM Display Mode
Thanks Jeff - is there any chance adding that is in a quick turnaround release plan? We've only been getting very small updates (that have meaningful improvements) about once a year for the last couple of years.

Hi Jeff,
What ?!! Seriously ? No "Suspend/Enable" Soft Keys for the MMM ? |

Re: Turning Off MMM Display Mode
The Master Meters are intended (like most other consoles) to be a permanent display of the Master Meters(or any meter you need to see all the time) If you have to switch to see them then that defeats the object (you could just as well switch to a Layout and back with those tracks in) We have made it so that you can add up to 2 extra screens either in the console or outside for these so as to not disturb the normal tracks.

But I do thank you for responding. There was a time when it was almost unheard of to hear from Avid directly on the DUC and you and Jeff certainly have been responsive which is very much appreciated. |

Re: Turning Off MMM Display Mode
Thanks for the feedback rus5. I'm sorry you are not happy with the progress that has been made on S6 over the past few years but I do believe there has been some fantastic features implemented. It is certainly not just support for Atmos, the Joystick and Master Post Modules. Here's a few features that I believe are huge for workflow:
Expand Faders Attention Zones that can be toggled at will Nested VCA Masters - Spill and Unspill Stereo Pan Linking & 2-Knob Panning Channelstrip and MTM Locking Auto-Expand and Expand by function Yes, Eddie and I are here on the DUC because we care and want to help users to get the most out of the S6. I agree that the Assignable Knob needs to be implemented within Pro Tools as it currently only functions in Logic and Steinberg DAW's. We do actually appreciate your feedback so please send us the specifics on the roadblocks that you are encountering with graphs, plug-ins and meter overs and we will work with 3rd parties to get them resolved. My Avid email is [email protected] . best, Jeff |

I am definitely not saying the S6, even as it is, is useless or isn't good. But it is FAR less than something this expensive should be. I feel that users were essentially misled in the beginning (when the early new S6's we had just bought could hardly do anything) that a vast effort was underway to get the S6 where it should be. It's been YEARS now and a lot of the energy has been expended addressing only Avid's very highest end customers (who have really big $150,000 setups where they can afford money and room for dedicated knob and display modules, post modules and fader modules). But most of us aren't in that category and basic things still aren't being addressed. I and MANY others have commented on many of them on this forum over the years, and still - well nearly another year and essentially nothing on them. Feedback from users like me (M40-16-5D) and even smaller systems needs to be provided too even if the truth is we're not big enough shots to pull any weight. Yet what I've spent for a 16 fader control surface is ASTRONOMICAL and I was expecting, well "Astronomical" based on Avid's promises. Between the nearly nonexistent resale value of my original S6 M10-8-5 to upgrade to my current system, it's cost me approaching $80K. Given that the s/w updates addressing core issues have essentially halted, I'm feeling basically screwed. But again, you and Eddie are the face of Avid/S6 to guys like me, not responsible for it, and I really don't mean to shoot the messenger. I know you guys would do everything your customer's ask if it was up to you. Still, after waiting so long for a significant core feature update and getting this instead, somebody needs to be saying this out loud. Last edited by rus5; 10-25-2017 at 12:35 AM. |
