Recalling Layouts
EuControl software lets you store and recall assignments of specific tracks as Layouts. Layouts let you as-
sign specific tracks to specific faders, and have those fader strips ignore banking and nudging (ensuring
that the specific tracks remain available for as long as the Layout is active).
Artist Control provides a page of Touchscreen Soft Keys for selecting and recalling Layouts. Storing Lay-
outs requires a combination of Soft Keys and on-screen configuration of the EuControl Assign and Layouts
tabs. Once stored, Layouts can be recalled directly from Artist Control.
To store a Layout with Artist Control:
1 In Touchscreen Page 1 (HOME) press LAYOUTS.
2 Press a Soft Key in the upper part of the Touchscreen to select an unused Layout (such as LAYOUT 1).
3 Open the EuControl Settings window and click the Assign tab. (See “Viewing EuControl Settings On-
Screen” on page 10.)
4 Before creating a custom Layout, we recommend saving one “home” Layout so you can quickly return
fader strips to standard banking. To do so:
• Make sure all strips say
<auto assigned> in the Assigned To column. If any are not, click the dis-
played name in the
Assigned To column and choose <auto assigned>.
• Use the mouse to go to the Layouts tab, click to select row (Layout Name) “1” and click Store.
• Give the new Layout a descriptive name such as “All” or “Home” so you can easily recognize it. To
do so, click in the Name column for the desired Layout until you can edit the default name, then enter
a new name and press the Enter key on your computer keyboard.
5 Use the mouse to return to the Assign tab.
6 Use the mouse to configure the Assign tab by clicking in the Assigned To column for each strip and se-
lecting a track to assign (lock) to that fader strip. Repeat for each available strip (on Artist Control there
are four available fader strips; if your system also includes an Artist Mix, you will see more available
fader strips in the Assign tab).
7 Use the mouse to go back to the Layouts tab.
8 In the Layouts tab, click to select an available Layout (such as 2).
9 Use the mouse to click Store.
10 By default, Layouts are named according to the date and time they were stored. If you want to rename
the Layout for easier recognition, click its name in the list and enter a new name. For example, if you as-
signed (locked) a Master Fader or VCA to a fader strip, you might want to name its Layout “MASTER
on 4” or similar.

came with your Artist Series controller.
