Default S6 and UAD plug-ins.

Just wondering how well the UAD plug-ins map to the S6 or if they do at all?

Just picked up a 4-710d pre that came with a free UAD-2 QUAD DSP Accelerator card!

They will map but not sure how they look. A lot of ex Avid people work there so maybe quite well....

They're mostly mapped well. API Vision Strip has one omission for example.

If you find discrepancies, let me know and I will report them for you.

Thanks Drew. Hoping to get my card next week.

To be fair to UAD, there are various third-party plug-in developers who are getting it wrong. For example, if you expand a compressor from the Dyn button, you get a different set of parameters in different places when expanding from the Inserts button on the Process Module. Both will sometimes have parameters missing altogether. Waves are often getting wrong. McDSP are doing a good job.

Yes - please - not just UAD plug-ins. Anyone that has concerns or suggestions for pagetable improvements for any 3rd party plug-ins please report them and we will make sure the feedback gets back to the developers. Thanks!

The EQ and DYN button layout will always be the same, this is defined in the EUCON SDK and the idea is that no matter what plugin you are using the controls are always in the same place. This does have the limited issue of only showing standard controls. The inserts use the plugin manufacturers layouts so can show everything if they desire.

Just out of curiosity, what were the omissions or errors in the bx_console plug-in? I just started looking at the mappings and pagetables for some of the Plugin Alliance stuff. Thanks.

Hi Jeff.
The EQ when expanded, in the 3rd knob column in from the left it says “2 Mid Freq” + “1 Mid Gain”.
These are changing the BX Console channel number, which I guess is fine but it should say “channel number”.

When attentioning an instance of Console, the dynamics section knobs push/pull assignments to the S6 touch screen aren't all assigned. Plus the knobs on screen from top to bottom should match the knobs on either side of the touch screen.
