Most professional dealers will take something
back or swap it if it doesn’t work as expected.
I used/owned lots of professional interfaces. Only a few worked well
(on Mac).

Best,

Does hi even work with FW devices ? I’ve just seen one going cheap and was thinking about buying…

edit: oops i just noticed the original post was 3 years ago LOL

Can you fill me in on how you’re using it as a controller for Max?
Using the Firewire (‘control’) input, in ‘computer’ mode, I get usable outputs from the switches and rotary encoders, but the faders give out a hopeless mess of data. And in ‘midi’ mode, I only get an output from the transport buttons.
Presumably mdi control mode just sends data to the physical midi ports – is that how you’re using it?
I haven’t tried it as an audio interface yet, but the HUI mode for Pro Tools hasn’t impressed me much, so unless I can get it to work better with Max, I guess I’ll have to pass it on,
cheers

I’ve now got it configured to use with Max, and it looks to have plenty of potential. A couple of things bothering me though; is it possible to get midi back into it from Max, to control the motorised faders and/or the button LEDs.
It’s disappointing that the buttons don’t light up in Midi mode, but perhaps they need to be told to via midi? And a shame that the bank buttons don’t send midi either…
Also, having configured all the controllers to use the virtual port, I lost them all again, possibly due to accidentally hot plugging the thing (not a good idea, I know) – do you know if it’s possible to backup your settings externally eg. via a sysex dump?
I will read the manual, honest, but shortcuts are always handy ;-)
cheers
