My memory is a bit fuzzy and it may have been 12.4-12.5 that wouldn't remember the clock setting, but I can't be sure(sorry). I'm all for the upgrade. RME should be high on your list. I have a clean Control 24 for sale if you like lots of faders(it works with current PT via Neyrinck's V-Control software). Sadly, its just too big for my little room
