thx

The most sophisticated Digidesign control surface you can run on PT 6.4.1 is a ProControl (with or without additional Fader Packs and/or Edit Pack). Next in line is a Control24, but it is no match for a ProControl. Both work by Ethernet, not by MIDI. Using the recent C24 is not possible.

Last in line are all the controllers that work by MIDI and support the HUI protocol, but you can't call that 'sophisticated' by any means

This is correct, and is still correct for PT 10 and PT HD 10.

Btw, all this info is by personal experience (see system details below)
