Default S3 buttons do not work [SOLVED]

So I hooked it up, studio mode, updated firmware - all lights are good and general use is good.

However - a ton of buttons do not work.

-The Fader Recall section doesn't work after assigning various layouts that do work when using the Eucon window,
-The Clear Solo Button doesn't work
-the scribble strip does't work with or with pressing shift
-the Automation buttons don't work even when following the described procedure of first pressing the automation button and then selecting the track
-The User (save), OK and Clear buttons don't work.

Haven't found this on any forums. Went back to the dealer who checked his unit and the same issues are there.

Thanks for the info...

I didn't see it listed in your first paragraph...are you using the latest version of Eucon?

Eucon 3.2.1

BUT

I found an updated XML file. Same name as the one I have but a month newer. I'll install it and report back.

Good news. The new xml files works and all buttons are working and lighting up!

Problem solved. It would've been a bit helpful if they mentioned it in the 1 page install document that came with the unit.

With that solved, what else makes it not ready for prime time? Thread title still applicable?

Glad to hear you found the XML. I just want to add that the one page Welcome Letter does direct uers to www.avid.com/S3-Surface-Support for all set up info which mentions the XML. What version of Pro Tools are you running? Manually installing that XML isn't required for 11.2.2, fyi.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the surface!

Hi Kyle
This is in 11.2.2 that my xml file didn't work. The date of mine was a couple of weeks earlier than the one I dubsequently downloaded and used to replace. Everything has been great since.

The S3 is a fabulous control surface. And fun and easy to use. Congrats.

Hmmm, that is strange. I will look into it. Happy you are digging S3!
