My girlfriend's got touchpads all over her. That doesn't mean she sends CC messages.
Apple better keep midi support or AMT & Logic controller legacy support.
"disappointed" is putting it very very mild. "Ruïned and hopping mad" would be a more accurate description in my case and for a LOT of people who invested in this. I think they know about the whole analogue synth-midi thing, and will come up with a good midi solution. A rewrite doesn't mean dropping support. Midi is logic's strong point and the environment it fine for that. I doubt if they let go of the faders and tracks in the arrangement idea. (THAT would be radical
) IMO the real innovations are in the audio range. I expect realtime melodyne stuff, both in editing and synthesis. A touchpad would help sculpt audio that way.
