control 24 and emagic logic audio

[uli b]

Anyone else interested in using emagic logic platinum with Protools AND the control 24 ? No driver available yet for the control 24, as far as I know.

Yes I would love to run logic as well.

However there is still no way to utilize the C24 with Logic. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

AFAIK Digidesign doesn't allow to write software based on Control24 control surface. I think they don't give out the spec details for programming it. Digidesign want to keep their secret on ethernet-way to handle control surfaces IMHO.

C24 and PC are closed proprietery system. Digi believes there is no advantage in opening the code.

As i see it here's the downside for them:

1. Other companies begin making much cheaper surfaces based on the technology - C24 devalues and Digi lose sales.
2. Loss of loyalty to PT - other platforms become more attractive with control by C24 and PC

Upside:

Digi sells more C24's to non PT users. They could protect their technology by lic ense fees only licensing sofware co.s not hardware.

As a C24 owner and logic lover this frustrates me, but it has kept me using PT and getting rusty on Logic.
