EuCon APPLICATION SETUP GUIDE
INTRODUCTION

Section 1: Introduction
The EuCon Application Setup Guide helps you setup EuControl to work with your
specific application. EuControl must be installed before proceeding to your ap-
plications section in this Guide. See the Installation section in the Quickstart or
User Guides to install EuControl if you have not already done so.
Section 2: Logic Pro
Logic Pro 8 works with your Artist Series control surface without any special set-
up required. Make sure the MC Mix and/or MC Control software is installed and
that EuControl is running. Launch Logic Pro and click in a Logic window so it is
the front-most application. Your surface now controls Logic Pro.
Use
Software Update so your Mac stays updated the latest version of Logic Pro. professional control surfaces

NUENDO

Section 3: Nuendo
Nuendo 4 is a powerful DAW that can handle as many tracks and effects as your
workstations CPU can support. It offers multitrack recording, editing, and
monitoring. Steinbergs EuCon adapter enables fully integrated control of all of
Nuendos functions from the Artist Series control surfaces.
NOTE: The EuCon Adapter is available in MC Mix version 1.0.1 and later. This version
of the adapter works with Nuendo version 4.1.2 and later.
To enable Nuendo to work with the Artist Series, you must obtain an activation
code:
1. Create a user account in the MySteinberg area of Steinbergs web site.
If you already have a MySteinberg account and have already registered your
version of Nuendo 4, continue with Step 4.
2. Check your email and activate your user account by clicking the link in the
confirmation email.
3. Log into your MySteinberg account, click on Product Registration, choose
Register Product and select Product with Steinberg Key or Soft-eLicenser.
4. Enter your Steinberg Key number.
You will receive an email containing the activation code.
5. Launch the License Control Center (LCC) Software from the Applications
folder, choose
Wizards->License Download, enter your activation code and
follow the instructions.
For Nuendo to communicate with the Artist Series devices, Nuendos EuCon
device must be added in the Device Setup dialog:
1. Open Nuendo.
2. Choose Devices->Device Setup.
The Device Setup dialog opens.
3. Click the + button (add) on the top-left.
A drop-down list of devices appears with
EuCon near the top of the list. professional control surfaces

4. Select EuCon from the drop-down list.
The EuCon device is added, the control surface immediately updates, the
faders and knobs display track functions, and the EuCon Device Setup dialog
appears (Figure 3-1).

This section discusses the EuCon Device Setup dialog which allows editing track

3.1.1
EuConized channel types
The EuConized channel types section contains checkboxes that determine
which channel types appear on your control surface. If a certain channel is
available in Nuendo and the corresponding checkbox is selected, that channel
can be selected to appear on the surface. This channel is called EuConized.
All channels except Input channels are EuConized by default and can appear on
the surface. This is useful to eliminate tracks from the surface, reduce memory
usage, and reduce the time needed to build the EuCon mixer model when con-
necting, adding, or removing tracks from the Nuendo project.
To enable/disable EuConized tracks, select the checkbox next to each type.
Tracks without a checkmark do not appear on the surface. This setting applies
only to the open project.
3.1.2
Global Settings
The Global Settings section has two parameters:
Tape machine style transport
and
Number of knobsets to cache.
Tape machine style transport
Two Nuendo transport control modes are available for the control surface.
Toggle the modes from the
Tape machine style transport option.
These transport modes affect the operation of the Stop, Fast Forward and Rewind
buttons in the following manner:
Tape machine style transport checked
Stop: The control surface STOP button halts the transport and keeps the play
head at the current position (even multiple presses), independent from Nu-
endos preferences.
Fast Forward/Rewind: The FF/RW buttons always latch independent of the
control surface latch time preference. Repeatedly pressing the same
FF/RW
button has no effect. The current action can be stopped by pressing the op-
posite wind button,
STOP, or PLAY. The FF/RW also stops if it reaches the be-
ginning or end of the project. professional control surfaces

Tape machine style transport not checked
Stop: The control surface STOP button copies the Nuendo stop button.
Fast Forward/Rewind: The FF/RW buttons function as EuCon Momentary/
Latch-Switches. If the button is pressed and released quickly, the switches
do NOT latch but behave momentarily, resembling the way these buttons
work in the Nuendo GUI. If the Artist Series
FF/RW buttons are held down
longer than the latch time set in the Preferences-Setup page, they latch.
Number of knobsets to cache
Nuendo creates knobsets for EQ, Dynamic, Inserts, Aux sends and other functions.
A certain number of these knobsets are kept, or cached, in RAM. For large
projects on a large control surface, increasing the number of knobsets in the cache
can access them faster but uses more RAM. It is rare to change this value. professional control surfaces
