Using S3 with Pro Tools 33
Storing and Recalling Custom Layouts
Layouts let you assign specific tracks to specific channel strips on the S3, and have those channel strips ignore banking and nudging
(ensuring that the specific tracks remain available for as long as the Layout is active). You can store Layouts using the
Assign and
Layouts tabs of the EuControl Settings application. Once stored, you can then recall Layouts using the Bank switches A–F. Bank
switches
A–F correspond to Layouts 1–6 respectively. Shift + A–F correspond to Layouts 7–12 respectively. Layouts are saved
with your Pro Tools session.
Creating a Default Layout
Before creating a custom Layout, we recommend saving one default “home” Layout so you can quickly return fader strips to stan-
dard banking.
To create a “home” Layout and save it to Bank switch A:
1 Launch Pro Tools (or another application) and open your session.
2 Click the EuControl icon on the taskbar (Mac) or the System tray (Windows), and select EuControl Settings to open the
EuControl Settings application.
3 Click the Assign tab and make sure Pro Tools (or your other targeted application) appears next to Application. The 16 S3 chan-
nel strips appear in the
Strip column, and tracks assigned to each channel strip appear in the Assigned To column.
4 Make sure all strips say <auto assigned> in the Assigned To column. If any are not, click the displayed name in the Assigned
To column and choose <auto assigned>.
5 Click the Layouts tab, and double-click the first layout in the list, type in a name, then press Enter.
6 Making sure row 1 is still highlighted, click Store. You can recall your “home” Layout by pressing Bank switch A.
You can also press Surface SHIFT + a channel Sel switch to automatically open the Assign tab of EuControl Settings.
