#Contour shuttle pro 2 alternative software#
There are basically two ways to use apply this software – either use the presets, unmodified, or reassign the various buttons to suit yourself.Ĭontour has obligingly provided a large number of preset configurations which dictate the function of each button when working within a particular software application. While some devices might be able to do something with only generic software supplied by the OS, this little gem “takes ya nowhere ‘n tells ya nuttin” without the provided software. More or less completing this circular arrangement are two pairs of elongated silver buttons, again bowing around the ShuttlePro?s centre point but this time closer to the sides of its body, leaving a clear section of ‘deck’ in the middle. Further down, on either side of that control, are two elongated black buttons, also curving parallel to the jog/shuttle perimeter, but this time aligned with the long axis of the body. Near the top, two rows of four and five clear buttons respectively, are arrayed in a curved fashion not quite parallel to the top end of the body and arcing around the jog/shuttle control. The jog/shuttle is surrounded in an almost circular arrangement by 15 programmable buttons. Both these circular controls work in forward and reverse. (The ShuttleXpress has only one of these fingertip hollows and that is not as convenient.) Around this is the shuttle ring, for larger movements through the timeline. The middle alloy dial is the jog wheel and it has three indentations on its surface for easy manipulation and fine control by a fingertip. At 30 mm above the desk, and at the highest point on the back of the Shuttle, is the two-part jog/shuttle controller. The wider end faces away from the user and the USB cord extends out from its centre. The V2 is a low-profile, almost flat, desk-hugging accessory with a blunt egg-shaped, footprint that narrows (waist-like) towards the sharper end. If enough is great, then surely a whole lot more of the same must be exquisite? Features I love my ShuttleXpress, but when the idea arose that I might review its much more sophisticated relative, the ShuttlePro V2, I jumped at the chance.
