Re: Control surface help
Yeah, same experience here, although they're no longer being manufactured and I doubt there'll be any further driver updates. Still, for the price of one second hand, they're a neat tool to have at your disposal.

Re: Control surface help
Oh, and it turns out that the M-Audio oxygen keyboards work with ProTools in terms of controling track volume and pan and transport, plus virtual instrument controls, but not audio plugin controls. So our options really are limited. I think Avid are trying to force you into buying their HD system or an Artist mix surface.

Re: Control surface help
Thanks for all the help. I think I’m going to try using my BCF2000 with ProTools for track/sends volume and pan, and maybe transport controls. If I need to change a plugin, I’ll use Reaper for that. Reaper has many more advantages over ProTools when it comes to plugins; for a start, they allow VST Plugins. Maybe one day, ProTools will see the error of their ways, and reinstate the midi learn function, which apparently was a feature in PT8. The trouble with relying on an AlfaTrack or a command 8, is that I can easily foresee a time when Avid will discontinue support, possibly in the next release. So I’d rather spend £60 on Reaper and get VST support, rather than spending £200 or more to recreate what I could previously do for free with Sonar.

Re: Control surface help
If i am not mistaken if the surface had HUI support it should be able to control plugins as well? I need to see what’s going on with RWP as i haven’t been getting those messages as of late. On Feb 15, 2015, at 5:50 PM, David Eagle onlineea...@googlemail.com wrote: Yes, I agree. I don’t think they’ll drop support for HUI, but HUI doesn’t mean that you get access to plugin automation through the control surface. Anyway, I’ve posted a query about plugin automation in Reaper to the RWP mailing list, so hopefully I’ll catch you on there. Thanks.
