Playing around with my new artist color panel and having fun so far but I haven't done any real work with it so more will be revealed. On pg 37 of the what's new in mc 6 pdf regarding the reset buttons 1-6 in curves mode the shifted functions listed for R1,R3 and R5 are Toggle Red/Green/Blue Enable. For example shift R5 should toggle blue enable. R6 is toggle curve enable which enables the particular curve and pressing and holding R6 deletes the particular point that is active. I can't see anything happening with the shift R5 button, the enable button under the blue curve does not toggle on and off like pressing R6. So what is Toggle Blue Enable actually toggling? Is this a symphony only function? I'm playing on mc soft 6. I haven't had a chance to play on a symphony with the panel but look forward to it. In my simple tests I'm not really seeing that much lag relative to what I'm use to with a Kennsington expert mouse. I'm running the
panel on a MBP with the ethernet straight into the MBP. I've read about sluggish response and I'm wondering if there may be something different because I'm not controlling the panel through a network switch etc.... I know others have said the panel works much better with Apple Color and Resolve so if those aren't laggy and they are going over the same network that is laggy with Avid color corrector control could there be something about the networked interface that effects only Avid performance? I'm only throwing that out because my standalone MBP doesn't appear to be any different than I am use to with a trackball on hue offsets. I am only playing now with no external scopes to see how chunky the adjustments are but looking at the internal avid scopes and the hue offset cross hairs it isn't feeling that bad. I'll have to wait to try the panel in a full tilt online bay before I can see how it will effect my speed. It is a lot of fun
exploring the various possibilities and I really like the track wheel control of setup, gamma and gain for HSL master. I'm hoping they will add accessibility to the shadow, mids and highs HSL tabs for symphony color correction and I think it could be easily added using the page buttons when in HSL to pg rt to the various tabs. Fun stuff so far.
