I think you should stick with your MCUs. From what I've seen of your comments so far, it doesn't seem like you can understand or appreciate the difference. OTOH, you could friendly it up some, and then somebody who has used Eucon controllers in the real world (that would be me), might be able to give you some more info.
easy there, charger. while the "fanboy..." comment may have been a little strong for some, it was intended as a joke (if a poorly told one). so much for trying to be humorous in "arial normal"...

funkcity's post to which i was responding gave the impression that these boxes have a different, perhaps mildly de-balled implementation of EuCon that's not the same as the larger System 5 MC, which I've demo'd at AES and was really impressed with.

my question then, and my question now, is, if the foregoing is in fact true, then what are the differentiators that make these new Euphonix boxes superior to the MCU? they're about the same price, and not having to take up a USB port with the control surface is a nice plus, and as someone above said, 65xxx steps versus 1024 steps is of debatable value, but are there any other compelling features here?

if the answer is, "you're wrong, these use the full-blown EuCon that's found on the 5MC", the question answers itself.

on the other hand, if the answer is, "nice attitude, you're a moron who's not listening and opposed to learning so you should stay with the kit you've presently got", well, that answers itself too, doesn't it?
