Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered 7.4cs1 include fixes for all Digidesign control surfaces on all platforms:

Fixed: Pro Tools quits unexpectedly when moving a plug-in window while closing it from a control surface (Item #99442)
- If a plug-in window was closed from a control surface while the plug-in window was being dragged across the screen, Pro Tools would quit unexpectedly.

Pro Tools HD 7.4cs1 also includes the following:

Fixed: When Transport = Machine and a linear deck is connected, Back and Play does not work (Item #99342)
- Under certain conditions the Back and Play command would not respond when transport was set to Transport = Machine.

D-Control Changes
Pro Tools HD 7.4cs1 also includes controller personality file and firmware updates for D-Control worksurfaces. These personality and firmware updates include the following new or updated features:

• Changes to the "Auto Write To" Switches
• Changes to the Soft Keys Section
• Dual Transport Mode
• LED Test Mode Color Changes (D-Control ES Only)
• D-Control Multi-Mode (Mac only)*

*Pro Tools HD 7.4cs1 for Mac OS X adds the ability to enter D-Control Multi-mode, which lets you use a single D-Control console to access up to four Pro Tools|HD systems on a network. Multi-mode lets you quickly switch worksurface control from one Pro Tools system to another by pressing a single switch on the D-Control console. Please note that older consoles may require upgraded components to support Multi-mode. See the D-Control Addendum v7.4-7.4cs1 for more information.

So the buttons on one control surface will be one way, and completely different on another? Seems odd to me.

Is there any word on if Multi-Mode will ever be supported on the D-Command? I use it everyday on the D-Control... and would love to be able to have that feature in the smaller rooms.
