PC support will come...
They have added 'SoftKets' functionality to the TFT...so its like having 24 SmartSwitches plus 12 hardware SoftKeys!!! Awesome.
I might go MAC for this...
Oh yeah - you can lock faders to the surface...just like hold on a SmartAV or the System5...while still banking through the unlocked faders...booyah!
The 8 pots on the Mix can be run as each channel or single channel 8 knob control for EQ and such...
Application switching...
Nice little risers that I would likely never use lol
800 x 480 pixels display...
Touch one of those encoders and I bet all 8 knobs adjust to cover EQ or DYN or SEND parameters....this thing will DESTROY the godawful Mackie control.
I have been waiting years for this thing!
Thank you Euphonix.
Monitor knob will control StudioMonitorExpress software or Apogee Maestro..damn I'm not keen on SME but if I had an Apogee that would rock.
So far the only thing I'm not seeing is Fader Swap...but I could live without if I have to. Saveable Fader layouts are there.
Studio Monitor Express "Studio Monitor Express is your own professional monitor matrix running on the host Mac OS X computer.
Studio Monitor Express uses Core Audio outputs to feed your speakers and can handle up to 5.1 surround with a monitor level control on the MC Control surface. Switch between Main and two Alternate control room sources as well as two SLS/Cue speaker/phones outputs (providing you have sufficient hardware outputs).
Apogee's Ensemble, Symphony and Duet range of converters will include full EuCon support and are perfect for feeding speakers from Studio Monitor Express. You can also select external audio inputs such as a DVD fed from external hardware I/O to the speakers.
SME includes an on-screen control panel accessible from Mac OS X System preferences."
I'm excited!
