Installation instructions

Before installation of new EuCon software, back up your MC User Sets (see Section

2.2.4 of the Operation Manual). User Sets are not overwritten or deleted when
uninstalling or installing, but as a precaution, it is recommended that you back up your
User Sets before updating your EuCon software.

This release contains a new default User Set with new Application Sets for the most
commonly-used audio applications. If you want these installed (which is
recommended), delete your existing User Set directory after making a backup copy of
it. Do this before installing the new version of EuCon.

Knob-set response for large Nuendo sessions has been increased.

Knob-set cache limit in Nuendo provides more efficient use of system memory

Known Issues

Issue: Running Euphonix Virtual MIDI driver on a PC system using RME Hammerfall

Cards with the WDM drivers, the Windows 32 WDM device limit causes EuMIDI
output ports to disappear.

Workaround: Set the RME WDM devices to a lower value (32 is default) and restart

your PC.

Issue: Record Arm buttons do not light-up in Soundtrack Pro.
Workaround: None. This is a limitation of STP Mackie Control implementation and

therefore is not functional.
