IKISdirect™ - DAW Control Directly from the Console
Updated: October 11, 2005

The new software package, IKISdirect™, includes product specific Ethernet interfaces for Nuendo and Pyramix and the latest HUI Ethernet interface for controlling ProTools and other DAWs.

IKISdirect™ allows Harrison users to map and control the channels of various DAWs directly to the console surface as profile/layers in addition to controlling channels from the console engine. For example: Harrison’s IKIS Control Platform will interface directly with Merging’s own ‘OASIS’ (Open Audio System Integration Solution) protocol, allowing tracks in Pyramix to be brought up onto the Harrison console surface for fader, switch, and knob control with real-time metering and display of parameters. The integration will also include remote control of record and monitoring features. Harrison’s unique Profile feature allows on-the-fly configuration intermixing DAW control strips among regular console channels. Consoles fitted with Harrison’s new PreView™ Waveform displays will present in-line waveforms of DAW tracks right in the console meter bridge.

Now, any IKIS-based Harrison console can not only harness the world’s best digital console signal processing, automation, and monitoring systems, but it can control a wide range of DAWs with NO additional controller hardware purchase – control is achieved directly through Harrison’s new IKISdirect software package.
