Default Avid Control Monitoring w/ Apollo x6?

Hey folks,

I'm a pretty new with using Avid Control, but I have Pro Tools Studio, an Avid S1 + iPad w/ Avid Control, a UAD Apollo x6, and a 5.1 Surround setup for use on post production. Right now, I can only manage my monitors through the UAD Console app for muting/soloing speakers. I'm interested in doing this through Avid Control, but it currently shows "none" when trying to select a source. Does anyone know if I can do this through Avid Control? And if so, perhaps perhaps point me to any docs to help me get it configured?

Thanks very much!

Bill

AFAIK UAD Console does not directly support any control surfaces. Even after UAD added control surface support in Luna I still don't think they added it to Console.

There is third party software that enables MCU control of Console. https://www.raduvarga.com/software/ua-midi-control

Presumably you can put what you have in MCU compatibility mode and control the Console that way. But who knows... maybe you'll get lucky here and find somebody doing that. If not experiment...

You could try suggesting to UAD they support EUCON in Console and Luna. But I suspect that would get you exactly nowhere.

That software by Radu Varga does work but you’ll need to set it up in conjunction with the Xmon software bundled with the Eucon installer. It’s not as clean of an integration with straight Eucon but you do get monitor control in Avid Control.

You’re basically tricking the Xmon app to control the Apollo via midi through the Radu Varga software. There’s a bit of midi mapping required but Radu makes this easy in his software.

PM me if you try and are having issues.

I could never get it to work in Mackie mode. Only via midi

Thanks very much for the responses Darryl and its2loud! While I did find the UA Midi Control app, I was not aware of Xmon app. This sounds promising, and I'll look into it.

Thanks again!
