Default Qcon Pro?

Good morning:

I am considering getting one of these for PT 10 / 11 (and maybe Reaper and Cubase as well). It has Mackie HUI protocol. At $749 and in a sturdy aluminium case, it is certainly an attractive package. It can be expanded with additional expansion units.

Is there anyone using this?

Thanks!

I would second that this looks really cool, like an X touch but not plastic

Is the only imitation to using HUI the amount of commands that can be used (and at a time)?

is there any delay/lag in the faders back from the host software computer?

I got the unit several days ago, it looks absolutely stunning and is perfectly integrated with Pro Tools. I'll post pictures once I figured out how to do that on this website.

According to the website it also supports MCU so the performance should be about as good as that of any other control surface...

Just rockin'...what more is there?

Yes, noise indeed.

Update: there is a known issue, which is that the track names displayed in the blue LED screen cannot have more than 4 characters in Pro Tools. So if you have a post session with more than 9 sound effects tracks, and you label them SFX1 ...., once you get to SFX10, SFX11, etc., they are displayed as SFX1. I called iCon tech, they explained to me that the unit is able to display 6 characters in the LED strip, they haven't figured out what the issue is, may be Pro Tools related. For now I just relabeled my SFX tracks to FX1, FX2, etc., which works fine.
