Default will EUCON for S6 have "plugin focus" feature?

Will EUCON for S6 have "plugin focus" feature?
Artist series have been missing this feature until this day. Smart people who stuck with the old Command8 have it...

EDIT:

Command8 plugin focus function allows to follow plugin that is currently open on the screen.

I made the video showing how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faqwPMq_Kqo

What do you mean by plug-in focus?

Sorry Jacek, I'm still not quite sure I understand what you are saying.

If you are asking to be able to edit plug-ins from the Knobs or Faders on the Artist Series, then you can already do this. It has been a feature for quite some time. You can also instantiate new plug-ins from the Artist Series.

If you need help, I would be happy to show you how to do either of those things.

If it is something else, I'm sorry I am misunderstanding.

I am fully aware that you can do those things. I have been using control surfaces for many years, everything from Command8 to full featured D-Control.

Plugin focus works this way:

You have a huge session with many tracks and many plugins. The fastest way to open any of those active plugins is clicking with the mouse. It takes too long to do that using control surface. People from Digidesign were fully aware of that, so they came up with plugin focus feature. Let's say you have Waves H-Delay on the screen and you decide "I want to automate feedback". On Command8, you press a button and the plugin that is on the screen is brought up on the control surface. On artist series you would have to find that channel, then find that particular plugin. That is a serious workflow killer.

I just checked the Command8 manual. It was F5 button that did what I describe. Basically, whatever plugin was on the screen, that plugin was focused on the surface.

Can you do this via the Neyrinck app and iPad ???

Could this be a limitation of Eucon ??

This, unfortunately, is a limitation of Eucon. I am actually surprised it hasn't triggered wider wave of protest amongst users that migrated from older surfaces to Eucon. Even simple Novation Nocturn does that...

I have an Artist Mix and you can focus plugins on the rotary knobs . .
