Default Re: Anyone using the Mackie C4 plugin controller?

Quote:
BTW, I think it stinks that there isn't any support for it. I'd bet that there's a pretty sizable user base of MCU/ProTools users. A C4 would be a killer addition. But hey, Digi has nothing at all to gain by implementing it. Zero. So don't bet on it.

Only thing to hope for at this point is that they make their own knob controller.
Peace
The integration of the MCU is really lacking, it doesn't even have all the capabilities of the original HUI.
Mackie is pretty full of it to expect vendors to jump on the C4, they originally announced it and gave it a release date how many years ago????
It became a dead product for several years.
They went through a company restructure and finally released the product many years late.
Why support a product that like that?
The C4 was originally advertised to be available shortly after the Mackie Control, so now that it has finally shown up most have moved on.
If DIGI wanted to support knobs it would be a better move to just offer a knobby unit than to support the C4.
DIGI has yet to address the C8 expansion aspect yet and they could easily do the two in one stroke if they so desired.
Then again they are offering the new bundles so who knows what else they may offer.
