MARCH 2025 (VERSION 2025.3)
EUCON 2025.3 is another stability and performance release that addresses 20+ bugs for control surface users. EuControl, Avid Control, and all S series control surfaces have seen improvements such as:
- S1 users without an accompanying Dock can now get clear graphical feedback about what’s on the knobs and the screen with Avid Control in Hybrid mode, which now allows the S1’s functions and knobs to mirror the currently selected function in Avid Control and vice versa.
- Cubase and Nuendo users no longer have to page through Quick Controls. Press and hold Aux on S1 to go into Channel mode automatically (like EQ and DYN do currently for Pro Tools).
- S4/S6 Meter Zoom controls and softkeys will now allow you to zoom using softkeys into the top, bottom, or middle of meters on an S6 to see meter information in greater detail.
- S4 and S6 Load Session/Title options allows easier selection of contents (Layouts, settings, knob maps etc.) to load via popup instead of digging into menus.
