SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• Qualified Mac or Windows-based computer running any supported EUCON-enabled application and EuControl 3.4
• One of the following connections:
- Accessible wireless network (5 Ghz Wi-Fi network recommended), or
- NEW: Lightning-to-USB 3 Camera Adapter + USB 2-to-Ethernet Adapter to connect an Ethernet cable directly to iPad (be sure to disable Wi-Fi on your iPad when using this connection type)
WHAT'S NEW
• Channel view—Similar to the touchscreen view on the Pro Tools | S6 control surface, this mode enables you to control multiple channel parameters quickly with a touch, including inserts, sends, panning, plug-ins, and more (supported with Pro Tools only at this time)
• Soft Keys view—Speed up editing and mixing tasks using 24 big, customizable soft key buttons that enable you to trigger many EUCON-aware application commands and functions, and even program your own macros
• Integrate Pro Tools | Control on your iPad with the new Pro Tools | Dock control surface for full touch and tactile control
• Work faster and easier with the enhanced and improved user interface
• Bring direct high-speed Ethernet connectivity to your iPad with support for the wired Lightning-to-USB 3 Camera Adapter and USB 2-to-Ethernet Adapter
• Experience better performance with many improvements and fixes
Take wireless control of your favorite audio and video software—right from your iPad. With Pro Tools | Control, you can record and mix audio in Pro Tools, Media Composer, Logic, Cubase, and Nuendo, faster and more easily than working with a mouse and keyboard alone. The app combines the tight hardware/software integration and high-speed communication power of EUCON technology with the multi-touch advancements of iOS, so you get deep control, with great mixing flexibility. And when used with an Avid Pro Tools | S3, Pro Tools | Dock, or Artist Series control surface, you gain new touch workflows and custom control. Best of all… it’s free!
