Default Command 8, works with PT11HD

Just to let some folks here know about officially (not) working situation:
I run PT 10.3.7 HDx on Mac Pro OS10.7.5 and I took a chance to run demo of PT11HD along and to my surprise I still can use Command8 in 11?! I tought it was gone from 11 but fortunately it is not. I am just upgrading my system to 10.8.4 and courious to see if CI8 will be recognized afterwards. Will let you know.

Amazing, you lucky people, us Control 24 & Pro Control users have a dead system if we move to PT11!!

Why does the command 8 still work? Guess it has a 64 bit driver!!
Why could they do the same for us??

Does it just work the same as it did in PT10?

Cheers Scotsman

If Command|8 works with PT11, it begs the question .... "Why is Command|8 included in the legacy products section"?

It is obviously a currently-supported product, unlike Pro Control & Control|24.

It also suggests that it would be just as easy for Avid to create PT11 drivers for Pro Control & Control|24 as it was for Command|8.

Command 8 is basically a 002.

The Command|8 has faders, mute/solo buttons etc that needed a 64-bit driver to be compiled from the already-written Command|8 driver. This was obviously done by Avid software technical crew.

N.B. The Command|8 was introduced almost a decade ago. A 2004 review of it is here:

If it can be done for this old control surface - why not ProControl & Control|24?

Does the Command8 use midi or HUI protocol?
