Eucon Commands with other Hardware

[kava]

Hi all,

I use several Artist Mix and Controls for Automation and shortcut, command stuff.
What I really like are the two Eucon Commands for Clear Solo and Suspend Automation which I often use for Film mixing.

Since I'm a DIY guy I think I wonder If its possible to send Eucon style commands like the above also from other controllers? since "Suspend Automation" is NOT available as shortcut nor as Menu Item. How could I send commands like these via Midi? or any other programmable keyboard?

In fact I don't want to build a Eucon myself nor copy AVID products I'm just thinking of a "Suspend Automation" button on the far side of my desk, could this be done with something like the x-keys stuff?

The EuControl command (in my setting) is:

<Control ID="SoftKey2" TYPE="SmartSwitch">
<Label COLOR="ff0066ff" FONT="Arial" FONTSIZE="14.0000" NAME="Suspend Automation" NOTEXT="1" TYPE="Text"/>
<CommandSet SUBTYPE="OneShot">
<Command ID="1" TYPE="EuCon">*/Automation/Suspend Automation</Command>
</CommandSet>
</Control>

and here's some UI info:

Hi Ryan,

Where did you get that info from? first one seems like an xml? whats the second part? is it some kind of system dump or script?

Hi Kava,

Did you ever succeed in doing this?
