| never understood why their hardware will not interface with any other daw, People don't change DAWs because of controllers. It just makes it a hassle to have to make a script to use with any other DAW. |

| A guy on KVR said that a product video on audiomidi.com says that these will work with any DAW. But, I haven't seen it for myself. |

The top 5 should all get together & co-develop a multi-platform controller...wishful thinking i'm sure:( |
Not necessarily, look at the way MIDI developed. We just need Dave Smith to develop it first. :) |

| I like them, look very handy. The only problem is, can't you pretty much do all that with an iPad and TouchOSC these days? More customisable and cheaper too. |

| They look cool, but I don't need one whatsoever so yea. Nice if you want to look like you're piloting the Millennium Falcon. |

Really pleased to see more & more developers coming out with controllers like this - i just hope the build quality is top notch.

Wish there were more choices beyond SSL/Euphonix/Mackie for a decent surface:whip: |
they all can be but they won't release the system exclusive info and the the input needed to control the lights. They could make their controllers multi platform in about 5 hours.
I think they look cheap and ugly. Catering to the lowest denominator as always, |

I'm pretty disappointed in these tbh.
I would like to get hold of a decent DAW controller but it still seems like MCU or maybe Euphonix are the only real (relatively budget) alternatives.
I really don't see the point in those touchpad style faders and the price of these units is ridiculous here (£135 each) and the racks units are a total pisstake too (£100+)
Looks like it's still the MCU for me. |

Although I use Cubase, I have found thier aftersales to be e so this alone would put me off.
Do you know I still dont know how to import samples straight into Groove Agent thus avoiding having to go through the media bay import process. Gave up asking Steinberg. |

Same here. I wish someone would come up with a large, flying fader control surface, like the discontinued Tascam US2400:
Shame it never worked very well.
Making it a touchfader surface is basically an Ipad with the upgrade possibilities.
I think this is clearly aimed at a budget version of the Euphonix artist series for cubase. |

i've never been able to get used to moving faders. I flinch every time.
IN fact I can't listen to a mix unless the automation is off. cat reflexes or super nerves. I will go with cat reflexes. It actually makes me motion sick. And i can't not pay attention. Just in my peripheral , my brain will start paying attention to every fader and well on a big board, it isn't fun. Even if they are dead silent, i just feel like i'm being haunted by poltergiest. |
