Chapter 1: Introduction 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Artist Control, Artist Mix, and Artist Transport comprise the Artist Series family of media controllers. 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) di-
rectly 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.
What’s Included
• Artist Mix, with riser brackets
• EuControl software installer disc
• 1 Ethernet Crossover cable
• Power supply
• Artist Mix Quick Setup
• Registration Information Card

Hardware Keys on Artist Series Units
The names of keys on Artist Series hardware are in bold (such as SEL).
The SHIFT key on Artist Series hardware is indicated by bold text, in all-caps (SHIFT) to distinguish it from references to the Shift
key on your QWERTY keyboard.
SHIFT and SHIFT Lock
The SHIFT key on Artist Series units is used in conjunction with other keys to access secondary functions that are labeled in blue
above the primary function. Artist Transport provides a single SHIFT key at the bottom-right. Two SHIFT keys are located at the
bottom-left and -right on both Artist Control and Artist Mix.
The following terminology is used to describe SHIFT functions.
Example:
• “Press and hold the SHIFT key then press the AUX key”
is written as
•“PressSHIFT+AUX/GROUP”

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.

Artist Mix User Guide6
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.
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.
2 Lift the black plastic connecting part and side panel up and out of the Artist Mix.
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.
If you are using multiple units, see “Surfaces” on page 25 to use EuControl to link the units in the desired order.

Chapter 2: Setup and Installation 7
Installing Software and Hardware
EuControl software must be installed before using any Artist Series media controller.
To install EuControl software for Artist Series media controllers:
1 Do one of the following:
• Download the EuControl installer for your computer platform from www.avid.com/artistsupport. After downloading, make
sure the installer is uncompressed (.dmg on Mac or .ZIP on Windows).
– or –
• Insert the Installer disc into your computer.
2 Double-click the EuControl installer application.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4 When installation is complete, click Quit (Mac) or Finish (Windows). EuControl will launch automatically and is running when
its icon appears as follows:
• On Mac, the icon is shown in your menu bar.
• On Windows, the icon appears in the System tray (or alongside other Hidden Icons in the lower tool bar if you do not have
your system configured to always show icons in the System tray).
5 Shut down your computer.
6 Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power adapter and the other into a power outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is
pushed all the way into the adapter.
7 Connect the DC output cable from the power adapter to the DC In jack on the left side of the rear panel.
If prompted to download the most current version of EuControl, follow the onscreen instructions.

8 Plug one end of the Ethernet crossover cable into the Ethernet jack on the back panel of the Artist Mix.
9 Plug the other end of the Ethernet crossover cable into an available Ethernet jack on your computer, router, or Ethernet switch.
• Note that connecting directly to the computer may require removing your Internet cable. If you have a Mac with two Ether-
net ports, use Ethernet 1, rather than Ethernet 2.
• An Ethernet router or switch is required to connect additional Artist Mix or other Artist Series unit such as an Artist Trans-
port, or to connect units to a local area network.
10 Turn on your router (if applicable), then turn on your computer and wait until it finishes starting up.

11 Press and release the POWER switch on Artist Mix. Do the following, as appropriate for your operating system:
Mac Wait up to 60 seconds. A lit EuControl icon in the menu bar indicates correct installation.
Windows Wait up to 60 seconds. A lit EuControl icon appears in the System tray (or, in Hidden Icons if your system is not con-
figured to show all icons in the System tray).
12 If you did not see the lit EuControl icon, do the following:
• See “Surfaces” on page 25 and add Artist Mix manually.
• Shut down Artist Mix and your computer, then turn them on (computer first, then Artist Mix).
• If your Mac is pre-2002 and you are using an Ethernet router or switch, you need to purchase a normal straight-through
Ethernet cable (instead of the crossover Ethernet cable supplied) from a computer store.
• See www.avid.com/artist/support for the most current troubleshooting information.
13 If you downloaded the latest software from the web, you may need to update the firmware on your Artist Series controllers.
See “Update Firmware” on page 26 for instructions.
14 Launch your application and open a session or project (such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, or Digital Performer).
15 To set up your application to work with the Artist Mix, see the EuCon Application Setup Guide that you downloaded at the be-
ginning of this section.
Controlling a Second Workstation
The Artist Mix can control applications running on a second computer, referred to in this guide as a workstation. Most users will
not need to do this because EuControl will only be needed on the same workstation as the their audio or video applications.
To be able to control a second workstation:
1 Do one of the following:
• Download the EuControl installer from www.avid.com/artistsupport onto the second computer. After downloading, make
sure the installer is uncompressed (.dmg on Mac or .ZIP on Windows).
– or –
• Insert the Installer disc into the second computer.
2 In the Extras folder, double-click the Install EuCon Workstation installer.
3 Follow the instructions to install the EuCon software.
