THIS WOULD BE COMPETITION FOR THE HARDWARE THAT FAIRLIGHT MAKE! I love how Euphonix have somehow gotten away with appearing like they are this open format, when really they are as closed as any other platform, and Eucon is just as proprietary to hardware as digi or fairlight. Is Eucon the new Pro Tools?
I would'nt get so upset about it. It's just that we happen to own a S5-Fusion, and understandably we would like to get the best out of it. There is no reason for Fairlight to be/feel insulted by my simple question. Questions are asked to get answers. After all that it's just business. Whatever the answer we'll take it into consideration. But for us it's not just to follow a trend, it's because in our current setup Eucon is one of our worktools thanks to the Nuendo integration.
Then again, I'm free to say that I prefer the System5 as a controller vs other controllers am I not? It's all down to personnal prefs mate.

Peace,

Steven
