Chapter 11: DAW Integration 91
What makes the GRP knobset special? It allows the operator to edit parameters of any plug-in in the entire session regardless of
channel or HUI bank. Any plug-in opened from the Pro Tools GUI will be displayed in the GRP knobset. This includes plug-ins
that are not on any HUI bank.
Similar functionality is possible using the INSERT knob Set.
The BACK Button
As mentioned above, to access the Knob Set selections on the MC Pro Soft Knobs you must press the BACK button. This is because
these units are already inside a default knobset (PAN). The BACK button essentially backs out of that knobset. It is possible to ex-
perience the same behavior on the S5MC 408T channel strips.
Pressing the BACK button on the S5MC 408T channels strips will display the 8 knobsets on the knob cells. If you are at the top
level of a knobset, like PAN or AUX, pressing the BACK button once can accomplish this. If you have navigated deeper into a knob-
set you may need to press the BACK button several times.
The BACK button on the S5MC 408T channel strips is accessed by pressing the two top-most buttons together.
Multiple Modules and Knobsets
When working with DAW systems that make full use of EUCON adapters it is possible to edit different knobsets across multiple
channels at the same time. Each unit or channel strip can be used to access a different channel and a different knobset. With the
use of layouts, it is even possible to access several different knobsets of the same channel by mapping it to several adjacent surface
channels.
In HUI mode this is not possible however.
The DSP Edit / Assign section of the HUI controller can only access data from a single channel at a time. This limitation is also
passed onto the EUCON surface when communicating via HUI protocol.
This means that the MC Pro Soft-Knob section will mirror the eight knob cells for any attentioned channel from attached 408T
modules. Careful attention should be paid to always know what channel is currently attentioned.
Selecting Tracks
S5MC CM408T modules:
Simply press the Chan Select button. It is possible to have Chan Select and Attention linked (in MC preferences). It is important
to note that you can select multiple tracks, however, only a single channel is attentioned. The last selected track will be the at-
tentioned track in this case.
It is recommended that you link Chan Select and Attention at first. More advanced operators will find it useful to keep these un-
linked. This allows for editing parameters of tracks without affecting the channels select status. Additionally, keeping these un-
linked allows the operator to select tracks without loosing the editing functionality of the currently attentioned channel.
MC Pro Standalone:
Using the touch-screen, press the SEL button and select track cells. Remember that the Pro series allows for separate Attention and
Select functions.
