Roll,

For me it's the biggest improvement of the D-control. the two functions i use the most is the custom fader and the preview/snapshot mode. I cannot live without it anymore I like my D-command, but i’m agree that you need a keyboard somewhere. For me it’s the biggest improvement of the D-control.

Digi should hookup with microsoft. They built most of the stuff for CSI. I think it’s time for a CSI approach. Digi should hookup with microsoft. They built most of the stuff for CSI.
