In the core architecture of this particular controller technology,
we have included and devised an SDK ( Software Development Kit )
for the future, which would allow other DAW manufacturers
to support this controller in their own applications.
Question might be … Who else wants to play? |
I'm thinking you may have to make the first move... Pick a DAW and work with it, or, a protocol (maybe HUI) and implement it, to showcase the further possibilities. Otherwise, it may end up something like Pyramix/SoundScape/Sadie, with a very small limited client base.

That is one piece of good news, as far as I'm concerned, anyway...

That makes 2 of us. And means that, unless it can control my Logic Pro composing rig, on one Mac, soft samplers/VSTi's on my other Mac, and then also the Fairlight system for audio recording/playback/video playback on a third Mac, and with perfect sync and some form of MMC/MTC, it's not worth it. (Don't want several different controllers to accomplish this.) The Euphonix MC can control up to 255 (theoretically) seperate workstations, including Pro Tools/Nuendo/Logic Pro, etc. With HUI emulation thrown in... And it's a bit less $...

Yes, that would be interesting, especially if the 12 fader sidecars can then also work with it, with or without the CC-1 system.
