EUControl not working as Mackie or HUI with Studio One?

Okay... I understand now... You basically have a hybrid installation of EuControl, which i'm completely familiar with.

So, with that in mind... why not just use the latest version that worked with the Mackie/HUI protocols?

I've also learned to not upgrade to the latest version of software in general... because of the fix one thing at the expense of three others nature of software evolution!

I hate to say it, but the functionality of the Artist Series controllers no longer operate as advertised on the box!

You might be better served to experiment with some of the earlier EuControl versions... even earlier than v3.6, just so you can evaluate what has been lost, or gained over the life of EuControl. Just as a suggestion though!

I know it's a daunting convoluted task to read all those release notes, but in the end... you will probably find a combination of software/firmware that gives you what you need... or not!

You might also have to come to terms with if having just the Mackie/HUI functionality is worth all of the aggravation working with these controllers.

Having a Euconized DAW on the other hand is a completely different scenario, which is another option... just sayin'

Yeah I was trying to run a hybrid setup because I still use Pro Tools. I just downloaded Eucontrol 3.3.2. I'll see whats up with that.

Hey it works now! S1 5.0.1 update works with my Artist Mix running Eucontrol 3.6. Basic controls - Pan, Fader, Select, Solo, Mute, Rec Arm. Nudge/Bank. I think that's it but I'm pretty happy that it works.

Try this if you are still having issues https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...with-EuControl

I spent hours trying to sort it, in the end, I downloaded as many of the latest updates as I could and spent time uninstalling & reinstalling each to see if any worked. I particularly liked the latest EUControl is so bad it's even lost the option for HUI or Mackie in the System preferences pane :) I thought maybe it does both now but nope nothing worked.

I found an old forum post here talking about using the MIDI Driver from version 3.6 the old version before it was re-written, I installed that version and bingo it worked straight away. I gave up at that point & got on with work but tomorrow I'll try installing a later version of EUCON but replace the MIDI driver from 3.6.

Hey ya'll I am trying to work this with Ableton and Reaper and I am getting the same thing where the Mackie Control is missing from the systems preferences EuControl section. Any solution to getting that back? Works fine with protools and logic currently. (Running os 10.15)

Its in the Mac Prefs not EuControl

You are saying in the audio/midi section? Because in System Preferences -> EuControl I have read there should be a column called 'Protocol' but that is missing for somereason. I wonder if it is a EuControl update or something?

[EddieJones]

No. In the mac control panel/prefs theres an Icon Called EUCON. Its in the guide I sent you.

I write this from memory since I uninstalled Eucontrol, because it crashes Logic when installed.

After Installing Eucontrol:
add Logic (or Studio One) in Applications in the Eucontrol APP,
restart Mac,

Then you should go to your Macs System preferences. At the bottom there should be a new Preferences Pane that says "EUCON"

Click on it and drag and drop the applications Logic, Studio one etc into the window. Now click "add as external midi device".

Now restart. You should now see an active Euphonix instrument in Audio/Midi Manager.

Open Logic/Ableton Live/Studio One etc.

Now add Mackie Control as a Midi Device and choose the Euphonix Ports that you defined in the EUCON Prefpane in System Settings.

Like so:
Mackie Control (Port 1)
Mackie Control XT (Port 2)
Mackie Control XT (Port 3)
Mackie Control XT (Port 4)

That should give you 32 channels.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
I managed to get it to work partially (with Avid Control on Android), I copy/Paste my experience here:

Eucontrol crashes Logic.

MACOS Ventura 16.5
3,6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9

I tried to use Avid Control App on Android to control my Mac DAWs.

When EuControl is running, Logic Pro crashes upon Launching.
Logic fully launches (also previous projects) but as soon as you make Logic the foremost Application by clicking on a window of Logic, it crashes.

I installed latest versions of both. I deleted all Preferences.

Premiere Pro works flawless with Avid Control App and gets immediately recognized by Eucontrol (since it has integrated Eucon Protocol).

Garageband launches, it connects but only transport works.
The SKEY buttons do show up in Avid Control (also when Logic launches) but they are non responsive.
Same with Ableton Live (via Mackie Control):
- transport works
- Tracknaming etc. work but Audio Meters do not show.
- Skey Buttons unresponsive.

Logic Pro does chrash after lauching.
