I think I probably decided not to bother as I had a (relatively easy) working solution with TouchDAW and rtpMIDI but hopefully someone with knowledge of Eucon will provide a solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avid software you installed is only half the story - that's the Eucon to app connector (sort of) You need the Cakewalk to Eucon part if that makes sense. That will add the Eucon option to the Preferences > Control Services. This is the bit that is built into Cubase A suggestion - try the app in cubase first and see if you like it before trawling around to find the install - as I mentioned above @Jim Roseberry has installed this previously in the other thread - might be worth a PM ? I already have the Eucon Software installed...I just don't have the "Sonar" bit... and it seems quite ODD that CbB's manual STATES that it supports it...and that is SHOULD be there... Whaddyawant for free anyways? Edited November 15, 2020 by cclarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Roseberry Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) There is a Eucon control surface plugin for Cakewalk. You need that, the Eucon installer from Avid, and Eucontrol for iPAD. I currently don't have Eucon installed on my machine. I had it installed/working just fine with CbB. It's a little more convoluted to configure (than native support for Eucon)... as you have to manually configure the various options in the Eucon control surface plugin. You can use Eucontrol to control any Eucon enabled application (ProTools, Cubase, Samplitude ProX, etc). Capabilities go far beyond a simple control surface. ie: You can directly access menu items via a single touch. Even setting up some basic things (undo, redo, quantize, Views, Process menu options, etc) can greatly enhance workflow.

Problem is that you can't download the "Eucon Cakewalk" driver anywhere anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISAAC THOMPSON Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I don't know if I'm allowed to post this installer? Better just ask them! If they don't send it to you then ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddbooster Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I went ahead and asked support for the file as well, and they sent it to me no problem. I also asked if I could post it in forum, but they neglected to answer that part, so... Anyway, it seems to work OK, though not as complete as I was expecting, at least compared to how Cubase is configured for EUCON. There don't seem to be any soft keys set-up by default, and the meters in the Avid Control app don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddbooster Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Ah, I figured it out. After getting the EuCon installer, I discovered that there is still a softkey layout here: C:\Program Files\Euphonix\EuCon\SQRL. However, it's named SONARPDR.xml, and doesn't work with CbB unless you copy that and rename it to Cakewalk.xml. Thought I'd post here in case some unfortunate future person finds the same issue.
