Once you have an in depth look at the info, I think you get a better idea of how superior the Eucon protocol is. Using Eucon these controllers really are a mini Icon-D for Eucon supported apps.

Even when limited to HUI or Mackie protocol, I think Euphonix experience leads to a better and more useful results for the end user. I expect there will be quite the buzz around the ol' booth at NAMM. When considering the whole package, including Studio Monitor Express, all the labeled custom soft-key possibilities, following which app is fronted and changing to support it, intelligent plugin support/mapping, I think this is a paradigm shift for the Native DAW.

For pure functionality and getting-it-done, this is a monster upgrade from anything previously available at anywhere near the price.
