Hi Smoothdj
The ZED-R16 can act as a controller but there is no return MIDI data back to the ZED (the faders are not automated and no lights are operated by MIDI). So it outputs specific MIDI commands (you can change the MIDI channel but not the command type) which you should be able to map to any DAW that can learn MIDI commands for its control. I have just purchased a Profire Lightbridge to interface to PTLE so I can try it for you.
Regarding MIDI mapping to other DAWs - we have successfully mapped to:
SONAR, Cubase, Logic, Acid, FL Studio, Audition and Ableton Live (MMC not tested with Ableton).
Some of these DAWs are easy to load MIDI maps which match the ZEDs controllers to relevant parameters, and some seem more tricky to load either the xml file of the preset and it's easier for the user to map it from scratch to their personal preferences. We've been a bit slow in providing MIDI maps & tips on our website - to be honest most users have done it anyway because the ZED-R16 simply acts as a generic MIDI controller, but we will try to get more stuff on the site soon.
Cheers,
Mike.
