For me, I have been looking for a control surface solution for a while... looking at Mackie, JL Cooper and even Yamaha DM1000/02R 96 territory
The fact that the Euphonix stuff will switch happily between FCP and Logic as well as Tools is fantastic as my rig runs all three. On top of that the price is good. But even more than that is the heritage the Euphonix name brings as well as the possibilities it holds for the future. Look at how Apogee has integrated the Eucon protocol into it's new range of Maestro controllable hardware. It's only just begun. |
I can see the benefit if you're running multiple platforms that it will control, but for me that's not the case; I'm a Logic-only guy.
Incidentally, the MCU and its identical-but-otherwise-labeled predecessor, the "emagic Logic Control" also speaks directly to Logic. It does not use the HUI protocol to speak with Logic, as it was developed jointly between Emagic and Mackie. There's also a fader resolution setting iirc in Logic, but how this works with the transmission of fader data via midi is unclear.
