S1 constantly losing layout (goes to auto-assign)
Hi,
so this has been bothering be for a long time and it hasn't changed after retiring my Mix/Control combo in favour of an S1 (still not sure if that was a good move, real estate on my desk was better before): I have 2-3 layouts programmed in my session with my default layout in slot 1 which recalls a few standard channels (dx, mx guides etc.). Every now and then at random times the S1 falls back to all channels set to auto-assigned. Needless to says that I don not want that to happen. I then recall the layout I want with my programmed hotkey and all is back. I then work as usual and after a while the layout is gone again and all channels are back to auto-assigned. Co-workers have told me it's because EC randomly loses connection to the S1 but I am not seeing that happen. At least not in a way that makes me notice it. Has anyone seen these random layout hickups? Any trick to stop them from happening? Thanks! F. P.S.: Yes, my layouts are stored and are still available when I relaunch the session. I have also looked at the Eucon Logs and found nothing suspicious, but I have limited knowledge on how to read them. And yes, I'm on the latest EC/PT combo

Re: S1 constantly losing layout (goes to auto-assign)
What are your programmed hot keys for layout recall? The standard layout softkeys in Avid Control?
Is there any chance you’re losing your layout when you press any of these buttons on the bottom of the S6? See attached picture Last edited by its2loud; 09-21-2021 at 07:28 AM. |

Re: S1 constantly losing layout (goes to auto-assign)
Nope, I'm using the shift color key layer of the S1 to recall layouts and there's also no "all auto-assigned" layout that I made. They are all very specific. But for some reason after a while the faders go to all auto-assigned. The non shifted layer are all non-layout related functions (preview, write to all etc. etc.).
Also note I already had the same problem with the Artist Mix and no S1 so it can't be something controller related. a co-worker told me it could boil down to corrupted prefs of the EC app or the tablet losing contact to the EC so I have now taken out the tablets just to see what happens. It's all theoretical as there's no way to work without the tablet for hotkeys but I'll see what happens. thanks! F.

Got it. Glad you saw where I was going with my questions. Sorry for the issues. Maybe uninstall EuControl including removing prefs and reinstall might help?

Yeah, I'll try that too. Thanks for chiming in!

Re: S1 constantly losing layout (goes to auto-assign)
Can confirm this is happening to me as well.
I think I see a pattern of it happening when the app is losing connection. This didn't use to happen before I had the app connected. However, my S1 and my Fire HD tabler are both connected to their own router (no internet). So I don't know how to get a more solid connection. This whole Eucon connection thing is such a mess... |
