Surface Knob Sets in Pro Tools
There are eight knobsets accessible from any EUCON surface. Each knobset is used to provide the operator with access to param-
eters in a way that is intuitive and easy to navigate. Each knobset consists of eight knob cells. Each knob cell contains a
Touch-Sensitive Encoder (knob) that doubles as a press button (knob-top), and two buttons: Sel and On. Additionally, each knob
cell has an associated display. The eight knob cells are arranged as follows for each control surface module:
The HUI controller also uses knobs to access insert parameters within Pro Tools. The HUI, however only has four knobs used for
controlling parameters along with 4 buttons used to toggle binary (on/off) switches and a fifth knob used for scrolling through
pages of controls. These controls are mapped to the EUCON control surface to provide the best possible access.
The HUI controller also provides a single encoder used for each channel (or fader) on the surface. These eight encoders display
channel specific information regardless of what the four DSP encoders are displaying. The channel specific encoders will display
the following: Pan, Input, Output and Sends. These channel encoders are also mapped to the EUCON control surface.
The Knob Sets
There are eight knobsets available on any of EUCON control surfaces. Below is a brief overview of each:
• INSERTS (*): full access to the HUI DSP edit / assign parameters
• INPUT: view / assign channel Input assignments
• DYN: an advanced surface mapping of the INSERT knobset dedicated to Digidesigns Dynamics plug-ins
• EQ: an advanced surface mapping of the INSERT knobset dedicated to Digidesigns EQ plug-ins
• SENDS (AUX): controls Sends A-E
• PAN: access Pan controls (Pan L & Pan R)
• GROUP (GRP): special knobset used to directly emulate the HUI DSP Edit / Assign section. Also provides control of any
plug-in opened from the Pro Tools GUI. (also called Legacy Mode - GRP is rarely used.)
• MIX: view / assign channel Output assignments

HUI surface controls
The numbers displayed in the above image indicate which EUCON knob cell each HUI control is generally assigned to when using
the INSERT knobset mode. The main encoders are mapped to 5-8 to place the controls within easy reach when using the S5MC
408T modules, and to display the switch parameter name on its own display.
