Power Switch
Press and release the POWER switch to turn Artist Control on/off.
Shift Key
The SHIFT key is used in conjunction with other keys to access the functions labeled in blue above the primary function. Press
and hold the SHIFT key, found at the bottom-left and -right of Artist Control, then press the other key.
Locking the Shift Key
The SHIFT key can be locked to access multiple alternate key functions without holding the SHIFT key down.
To lock the Shift key:
1 Press and release the SHIFT key quickly and then press another key to access its alternate function. Continue in this manner
until finished.
2 Press and release the SHIFT key quickly again to restore normal operation.
If you have another Artist Series controller connected to the same instance of EuControl as Artist Control, you can also lock the
SHIFT key by pressing two SHIFT keys down simultaneously. They can be on different devices. Unlock the SHIFT key by pressing
and releasing one quickly on any device. See “My Surfaces” on page 30 for more information.
Fader Strips
Artist Control provides four fader strips, each with a touch-sensitive fader, to control tracks in an audio or video application.
Fader
The fader controls the track assigned to this strip. It is motorized, so it reflects changes made in the application, such as automa-
tion. It is also touch sensitive, which some applications use when automating.
When the Select by Touch General preference is enabled, touching a fader selects that track in the application and focusses it, just
like pressing the SEL key. (See “Preferences” on page 34.) Holding down the SHIFT key and touching a fader sets it to unity gain.
ON
The track is on (unmuted) when the strip On key is lit and off (muted) when the strip On key is not lit.
