Take deep, hands-on control of your favorite audio and video
applications with Artist Control—a compact control surface with
unmatched integration and programmability that acts and feels like a
physical extension of your software. Speed up and enhance your workflow
with functionality far beyond what a mouse and keyboard can provide, so
you can focus on being creative.
Artist Control features EUCON (Extended User Control), a high-speed
open control protocol that has been adopted by many of the world’s
leading software developers. Pro Tools, Media Composer, Apple Logic,
Apple Final Cut Pro, Steinberg Cubase, and many other applications
support EUCON™, giving you highly responsive control over almost all
software functions. You gain high-resolution, high-speed control over
almost all software functions, and a tightly connected “software as
hardware” experience.

Take control with EUCON
With Artist Control, you
gain deep, integrated control over your favorite creative applications,
such as Pro Tools 9, Media Composer, Logic, Nuendo, Cubase, Maestro,
and more.
EUCON carries high-resolution control information for faders, knobs,
displays, and more between Artist Control and whatever application is in
focus on your computer. This enables you to quickly switch between
multiple applications—and even workstations—at the touch of a button,
with all controls and displays automatically matching the selected
application.
Take control with the touchscreen
With the touchscreen interface, you get comprehensive visibility and
quick control over your project. Not only can you view top-level
information such as track names/numbers, metering (from mono to 5.1
surround data), fader/pan values, and automation modes, but you can also
quickly access all of your plug-in and EQ parameters, trigger macro
commands, perform surround panning, and much more. The high-resolution,
LED-backlit display offers a wide viewing angle, bright graphics, and
excellent color consistency.
Quickly and easily navigate projects
With its ergonomic layout, Artist Control puts the data entry wheel
and transport controls right at your fingertips for easy navigation. You
can also assign functions to the data wheel—such as horizontal or
vertical zoom, jog, shuttle, and more—for custom control. And use the
Soft Keys to assign additional custom data wheel and transport functions
for even greater flexibility in editing and navigating your project.
Mix with precision
Get accurate and smooth mixing control through four high-quality,
motorized, touch-sensitive, 100mm long throw faders. Easily select
tracks for editing just by touching the corresponding fader. Use
dedicated keys to bank tracks (four at a time) or nudge tracks (one at a
time) to quickly navigate through projects. You can even lock
individual tracks to faders and store them as Layouts (up to 48 per
project). Layouts are saved with your project for easy recall, making
mixing large projects a breeze. Save multiple Layouts to mix drums,
keyboards, guitars, and so on, or just lock a fader to act as a master
fader.
