[QUOTE="Steve Cruz, post: 81798, member: 3761"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A Hello Uli, I've been selling and using your products since the first Composer days, as a pro audio salesman at Ace Music of Miami for 10 years as well as a musician and studio owner. I echo Rick's call for expanded MIDI implementation and if I could chime in, I'd want to see MIDI control of effects selection, effects/aux sends and effects/aux mutes to make it viable for live automation. I run a fully automated show for an act down here and all I need is a mixer that will respond to my laptop sequencer to automate faders, effects selection and effects send level/mutes. I prefer to mute effects at the send rather than the return so you don't cut off reverb or echo tails. The fact that the Presonus mixers only implement MIDI control of effects [B]returns[/B] is what has kept me from buying one. Even the newly announced Soundcraft Si Expression boards only allow scene changes from MIDI, making it also useless to those of us still running our shows from a sequencer. If a firmware update can provide this degree of MIDI automation I'll be buying a Producer for my live rig. OSC is nice for remote live control but I need bread and butter automation from my laptop. For me, OSC is the icing, but MIDI automation is the cake. Additionally, in my studio I have an aging Yamaha 02R and would replace it with a full x32 in a flash if I could continue to build automated mixes from my Mac with Digital Performer as I've been doing for many years. MIDI certainly has its limitations but it's convenient and already implemented everywhere. The fact that so many newer digital mixer manufacturers have largely ignored its use seems like we've taken a step backwards. And it extends elsewhere. In the early 90s I bought a small, inexpensive DMX lighting controller that output full, dynamic, recordable MIDI signals of every fader, button and control on its surface. Try to find one today. Thanks so much for making yourself available to us here. You're a pretty cool guy to do this, and as a bass player for 45 years who has played with a lot of great musicians I can say I dig your keyboard chops, too.
