They use a 100 Mbs Ethernet EUCON™ connection to control audio and video applications running on a workstation computer. EUCON is a high-speed communication protocol and enables control of virtually every application feature. Each Artist Series media controller can run as a standalone device. Up to four Artist Mix units can be used with an optional Artist Control and/or Artist Transport to create a larger control surface. Artist Series media controllers borrow many features from the Euphonix MC Pro and System 5-MC. The Artist Mix supports two types of applications: • EUCON-aware applications (such as Pro Tools™ 9.0 and higher, Media Composer™, Cubase, Logic Pro, and Nuendo) directly support the EUCON protocol. They provide the highest level of integration, high-resolution controls, and high-speed connectivity. • Non-EUCON-aware applications that support Mackie Control or HUI (such as Pro Tools 8.x and lower, Live, and Reason) can use many functions but are less integrated than EUCON-aware applications. EuControl Software The EuControl software application is responsible for finding, linking, and communicating with all Artist Series controllers on the network. EuControl must be installed on the computer that runs the applications you want to control before using Artist Series controllers.

Chapter 1: Introduction 3 4 Artist Mix User Guide Chapter 2: Setup and Installation Unpacking and Elevating the Artist Mix Unpack Artist Mix, power supply, Installer disc, Ethernet crossover cable, and riser brackets. Artist Mix can be elevated or angled using small foldout legs on the bottom of the unit, or elevated and angled by attaching the larger riser brackets. Since both methods require turning the unit upside down, do this before attaching any cables. Turn the unit over and place it on a soft surface. Pull out all four of the small foldout legs to moderately elevate the unit; pull out only the back two to angle the unit towards you. Pull out the metal clips from the same area as the legs and move them until they snap into the legs. The two larger, detached riser brackets elevate and angle the unit more than the foldout legs. Use moderate force to snap them into the bottom panel. Chapter 2: Setup and Installation 5 Attaching an Artist Mix to Additional Units Up to four Artist Mixes can be physically attached to each other to form a larger and more stable control surface. An Artist Control and Artist Transport can also be joined to Artist Mix. If you are using multiple units, see “Surfaces” on page 25 to use EuControl to link the units in the desired order. To join two Artist Mixes (or other Artist Series unit): 1 On one of the Artist Mixes, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two silver screws. The screws may be tight, so you may have to use some force. Removing screws from the bottom panel 2 Lift the black plastic connecting part and side panel up and out of the Artist Mix. Removing connecting part and side panel 3 On the second Artist Mix, remove the side panel on the end where it will attach to the first Artist Mix. 4 Slide the connecting part of the second Artist Mix into the first Artist Mix to attach them together. Artist Mixes attached by connecting at side panel 6 Artist Mix User Guide Installing Software and Hardware EuControl software must be installed before using any Artist Series media controller.

BANK > Moves the window one bank (eight tracks) to the right. If strips 1–8 had the bank starting at track 9, they now have the bank starting with track 17. MIXER and CLOSE Not all applications support these keys. MIXER Opens and closes the application’s mixer window. CLOSE Closes any open window or dialog box on the application. HOME and END HOME Moves to the first bank with tracks 1–8 assigned to strips 1–8. END Moves to the last bank. Navigating Among Multiple Artist Mixes Multiple Artist Mixes act as one big control surface with a bank size of eight tracks. For example, three linked Artist Mixes can show 24 contiguous tracks. The BANK and NUDGE keys perform the identical actions on the combined set of tracks. Chapter 4: Surface Controls 19 Knobs Each fader strip has one touch-sensitive knob along with two knob switches (SEL and ON), shown in the figure. 2 SEL 1 TOP BACK 3 ON Knob controls 1 Each fader strip has one touch-sensitive, continuously rotating knob that adjusts parameters such as pan and aux send levels. Each knob can also be pressed from the top. This is called the Knob Top key and is typically used to access sub-menus but also to turn parameters on and off. 2 The SEL key changes the knob function or toggles a secondary function’s value, such as an aux send pre/post fader. 3 The ON key toggles two-state parameters, such as EQ Band 1 on/off. Basic Knob Use When the Artist Mix is first powered on, the knobs are in normal mode (see Knob Modes on page 34). Each knob controls the pan parameter for its track on the strip. The knob selector keys can quickly access common parameters in normal mode: • Press AUX to assign each track’s first aux send to each knob. Press PAGE> to assign the next aux send to the knob. Pressing key to advance to the second aux send. In channel mode, up to eight aux sends can be shown at once. PAN Press the PAN key to display the Pan knob set to configure stereo or surround panning. In normal mode, the stereo pan control is typically displayed. In channel mode, the first page of eight pan knobs is shown. INPUT Press the INPUT key to display the Input knob set to configure input routing, mic gains, phantom power, and other application-specific parameters. DYN Press the DYN key to display the Dynamics knob set to configure compressors, limiters, expanders, and gates. GROUP Press the GROUP key (SHIFT+AUX/GROUP) to display the Group knob set to configure group bus routing or control group (VCA) membership. MIX Press the MIX key to display the Mix knob set to configure output routing. Dual-Function Knobs Some knobs have two functions that are toggled by pressing the knob SEL key (such as EQ Frequency and Q). The knob name changes in the display to show the current function. Dual-function knobs are supported in normal mode. Knob Set Navigation Keys Since a knob set may have more parameters than knobs, use the two < PAGE > keys scroll among them. SEL TOP BACK CFG ON CFG SOLO PAGE ON PAGE Knob Set navigation keys Press the PAGE> key to scroll to the next page. When on the last page, pressing the PAGE> key does nothing. The PAGE> key lights yellow when there is a next page to go to. 22 Artist Mix User Guide Configuration Pages (CFG) Many knob sets have a configuration page to set up that knob set. The configuration page for the Inserts knob set, for example, is used to assign plug-ins to a track. The configuration page for the Aux knob set assigns aux sends to a track. Some applications can configure presets for plug-ins and EQs. Press the < PAGE > keys simultaneously to display a knob set’s configuration page, if it has one. When on the configuration page, both the < PAGE > keys light. Configuration pages work only in Channel mode. BACK Press the BACK key once to return to the previous knob set. Press the BACK key repeatedly to back out of all sub-menus and display the top of the current knob set. TOP Press the TOP key to immediately back out of all sub-menus and display the top of the current knob set. This is equivalent to pressing the BACK key repeatedly. Knob Sets and Multiple Artist Mixes Up to four Artist Mixes can be linked to form one large surface. See “Surfaces” on page 25 to learn how to arrange the order of My Surfaces to determine the layout of tracks across the units. Press the CHAN key on any Artist Mix to toggle all surfaces between normal and channel mode. In channel mode, a knob set is displayed across all linked surfaces. For example, with two linked surfaces, a knob set is displayed on 16 knobs instead of eight. If the knob set has more knobs than the linked surfaces can display, navigate among them with the PAGE keys. Press a Knob Set Selector key on any Artist Mix to select that knob set on all Artist Mixes. APPLICATION Press the APPLICATION key to toggle between the two most recently used open applications. Hold down the APPLICATION key and press BANK > to toggle between all open applications in a circle. Hold down the APPLICATION key and press General, and adjust the Wheel Sensitivity sliders for that environment. Chapter 5: EuControl 29 Preferences Preferences tab Footswitch Artist Mix lets you connect a footswitch for hands-free punch in/out. Connect a footswtich to the 1/4-inch FOOTSWITCH input on the back panel. To configure the Footswitch in EuControl: In the Footswitch section of the Preferences tab, click to select the desired Punch In and Punch Out assignments: Record | Record When the application is rolling, pressing the footswitch once punches into recording on record enabled tracks.

Normally Artist Mix uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain its IP address, typically from a router. Artist Mix reverts to link-local addressing to generate an IP address if a DHCP server is not found on the network, such as when an Artist Mix is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable. Both of these methods of obtaining IP addresses can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which Artist Mix uses in all cases when powered on. Attempt this only if you have prior experience configuring a network. To set a static IP address: 1 While holding down the left-most two Soft Keys simultaneously, press and release the POWER switch. Continue to hold the Soft Keys down until the display lights. 2 Press the left-most ON and SEL buttons simultaneously (or press the left-most PAN knob). Use DHCP yes (left); Use DHCP no (right) 3 Press the keys simultaneously to move the cursor to the next screen, in this case the first field of the IP Address screen. Press the keys to cycle the cursor back to a previous field or screen to change a parameter to a different value. To change the value for the Subnet Mask or IP Address, place the cursor under the current value and press the left-most SEL and ON keys (or press the left-most PAN knob). 4 Press to scroll through the fields of the IP Address. 5 Press the left-most SEL and ON keys (or press the left-most PAN knob) to set the second field of the IP address. IP Address displays 6 To change the value for the Subnet Mask or IP Address, place the cursor under the current value and press the left-most SEL and ON keys (or press the left-most PAN knob). 7 Repeat the previous steps to set the remaining IP Address fields. Chapter 6: Setting IP Addresses 33 8 After setting the last IP Address field, press the keys to move the cursor to the first field of the Subnet Mask screen. Subnet Mask display 9 Use the techniques described to set the Subnet Mask. 10 Press the two left-most Soft Keys simultaneously to save this static IP address. Power Artist Mix off and on to use the new IP address. To cancel any changes made to the IP address at any time, power off the Artist Mix before pressing the two left-most Soft Keys simultaneously. 34 Artist Mix User Guide Appendix A: Compliance Information Environmental Compliance Disposal of Waste Equipment by Users in the European Union EMC (Electromagnetic Compliance) This model Artist Mix complies with the following standards regulating interference and EMC: • FCC Part 15 Class B • EN 55022 Class B • EN 55024 Class B • AS/NZS CISPR 22 Class B • CISPR 22 Class B FCC Compliance for United States Communication Statement This symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste.
