Audient's ORIA, the world's first immersive audio interface and monitor controller, has significantly enhanced its capabilities with the release of ORIA Control Software Version 1.2. This update introduces seamless integration with Elgato Stream Deck and Avid's EUCON protocol, providing users with intuitive desktop control over their immersive audio workflows. Stream Deck Integration: Hands-On Control for Immersive Mixing The integration of Elgato's Stream Deck with ORIA offers users a customizable and tactile interface to manage their audio sessions. After installing the latest ORIA Control software and the Stream Deck application, users can connect their Stream Deck device to their computer. Upon launching ORIA Control, a prompt will appear to install the ORIA Stream Deck plugin, which includes preconfigured profiles for immediate use. The default ORIA profile is organized into two pages: Monitor Control and Speaker Control. The Monitor Control page provides essential functions such as master volume adjustments in 1 dB increments, mute, mono sum, dim, polarity controls, input source selection, and quick access to user-defined reference levels. Additionally, users can switch between up to four favorite profiles directly from the Stream Deck. The Speaker Control page allows for individual speaker group muting or soloing, with options to clear all mute or solo states. For those seeking a tailored setup, the Stream Deck plugin enables dragging and dropping specific ORIA actions into custom profiles, including assigning rotary encoders on the Stream Deck Plus for continuous volume control. EUCON Support: Seamless Integration with Avid Workflows ORIA's support for Avid's EUCON protocol allows for direct integration with Avid control surfaces such as the S1, Dock, and S6. After installing the EUCON software and connecting the control surface, launching ORIA Control activates the integration. Within the Avid Control iPad app, users can access preconfigured soft key pages dedicated to ORIA, offering controls for audio profile selection, mono toggling, volume dimming, and individual speaker muting or soloing. For hardware control surfaces, users can assign ORIA functions to specific soft keys. For example, assigning a reference volume control to a button on the S1 involves selecting the desired soft key, adding a EUCON command from the monitoring section, and choosing the reference volume function. Furthermore, when ORIA Control is the focused application, faders on the S-series surfaces automatically map to ORIA's low-latency mixer channels, which can be reordered to suit user preferences. Enhanced Workflow and Configuration Management Beyond control surface integration, ORIA Control Software v1.2 introduces profile import and export functionality. Users can now back up their ORIA configurations locally, facilitating quick restoration of settings and ensuring consistency across sessions. This feature is particularly beneficial in multi-user environments where maintaining standardized setups is crucial. Conclusion The ORIA Control Software Version 1.2 update marks a significant advancement in immersive audio production, offering users enhanced control and flexibility through Stream Deck and EUCON integrations. These features, combined with improved configuration management, underscore Audient's commitment to evolving with the needs of audio professionals.
