For the record, electronic thanks to Devin Workman who dropped in to the May wefcpug to give a quick description and part demo of the newly announced Euphonix range of FCP-friendly control surfaces.

links to their own pages. We've been promised more, more, in a meeting later this year - we just had time to drool over the programmable/touch-screen keys on the MC Control panel. What caught my eye was the use of their own (EuCon) control protocol over ethernet - promising tighter, more responsive controls. This is a very welcome improvement to FCP's (and more importantly Soundtrack Pro's) use of motorised faders, with (we were promised) huge improvement in latency over Midi connections.
Nick brought in the pre-production Canon XF305 which he has been testing, and which prompted further drools from all. More, much more on this too in future communications.
Our next is to be on Monday 14th June: the usual last-minute emails and posting here will be sent...

May 2010 wefcpug - the declaration of results
Members and blog-followers, I, as returning officer for the constituency of wefcpug, do hereby announce the following topics were elected as part of Monday's running order....sorry, been working late nights and early mornings this week
The ink is dry on this month's menu, and it's an unmissable night for anyone who wants more faders to fade, more knobs to twiddle, or to put it another way, it'll appeal to the control-freaks inside us all.
Our new best friend, the very nice Devin Workman of Euphonix will be with us to demo the latest range of controllers and control surfaces from said company, whose newly-developed compatibility with FCStudio was much trumpeted a year or so back.
Alas, no euphonia (or euphoniums) will be on demo, as I originally thought Richard's phone message said, so brass band night will have to be postponed for a month or so.
There'll be more to see and hear, if we get time - it's going to be a great night.
See you on Monday then!
