Default Solo mode bug or me?

I use "solo mode > x-or (cancels previous solo)" pretty religiously, but I can never get it to "stick". It'll last for a while, then flip over to "latch" what seems like randomly.

Is this a bug, or are there a solo mode toggle hotkey that I may accidentally be hitting?

Default Re: Solo mode bug or me?

This started happening to me once I started using the mc control and mc mix. It'll stay as long as I have the same session open, but as soon as I close it an open it or another session up it will change back to the other setting.

It feels like a bug to me.

I too have this solo mode bug (even still in PT 11.2.1 / OS 10.9.8). I also use the Euphonics / Avid Artist mix. Are you also still having this problem or did you find a solution?

I'm convinced this is related to Artist Mix and related controllers, or maybe EuCon software.

We added an Artist Mix to a stable system (like, years of stability stable), and immediately started seeing this bug. Another system that is exactly the same, except it uses a C|24 instead of the Artist Mix, never has this bug show up.

Yes, it's related to EuCon/Artist controllers attached. It's been an ongoing problem for years and there a bug report on Ideascale as well.

Usually restarting the Eucon app resets the solo mode to latch but not always.

Over here I have to set solo to XOR almost every time I restart my computer.

We got around it by assigning a keyboard shortcut to XOR (CRTL+CMD+ALT+X). Just press it at the start of a session and we are good to go.

I think it got fixed here when I renamed the Protools 11 app in the application folder to "Protools 11" instead of just "Protools". Same with PT 10 (co-install, 10.8.5).
Anyway I used to have this same problem on our Artist edit sets, and now I don't. Same with the OSX custom keyboard commands, didn't work in PT11 before the rename.

Same thing happens to me. It isn't retained even with the same session, opened and closed.
