Awesome. Personally, for me a dream comes true. Best christmas surprise for many years. I know, there are some other members here who have or had a US-2400. Time to switch to Mixbus, i guess.....

Neat, indeed. Also of note, they've apparently got the as yet shipping Presonus Faderport 16 in there ready to go, as well.
I really like how they did the buss assignments with the push of the rotary....which is how they did it for the MCU--means I can import a project full of tracks, and within a few minutes have all my drums routed not to the master but the DrumSub....bass to bass sub....etc....and from there spill out. The only incomplete bit there is that the on screen "spill" of the busses doesn't fall to the faders. All they'd really have to do is put in a "match on screen channels" mode. Then you spill the drum bus, and all the drums are on the faders. Just like I've manually configured in Cubase for as long as I've had MCUs. It was like they made an app for how I've worked for a long time.
I bought 32c, FWIW. Lots of good. One of my fave aspects of the whole thing? Lock edit mode. Brilliant. if I touch the arrange window 9000 times, maybe ONE of those I intend to slide something forward or backwards in time....and yet I DO it plenty by accident....undo....it's gotten to where I literally put my drum tracks into protect mode (in other DAWs) which makes for pain if I want to touch them for ANYTHING....just locking horizontal movement is genius.

I would imagine that this would mean any controller, using MCU, would be able to be set up for at least 24 channels without any issue??
I never owned one, but I always thought the Tascam US-2400 was a brilliant piece.

My extender is broken (actually just out of calibration) so I'm limping on the main unit. I would NOT assume that. Harrison seems to put in very controller specific remote templates--designed for the specific hardware. So, yes--24 channels of MCU have always been "supposed to work", but they don't have any at Harrison to test--just the main unit. Reports have been a mixed bag. I've thought about pulling my extender out just to see if it will work....I mean--it's just that some of the faders are out of calibration, thus I can't have it in production....it DOES "work"....you know, if you're not picky about levels being the same session to session.  |

Initial attempt to get the extender to work was "nope"....in Cubase (where both have always worked together as designed), it requires you add a second MCU....on the other MIDI port....this has no setting for multiple MCUs--just this "discover Mackie devices" button that as far as I can tell does nothing when you click in.....OSX. I could change the port to the extender, and that would come alive and the main unit goes "out"....but, I even tried sending on the one port and returning on the other, thinking maybe they wanted it to kind of loop through all the MCUs to be able to "discover"....nada.
Will look at it later. Including downloading the 4.3 update....
You NEED the 16 faders (or 12, but no one makes a 12 fader surface)....with 32c. IMO. Cubase, it's nice, but I can set up my mixer views around having 8 to a large degree to get by....but, in 32c where you have 12 busses that are the FX auxes as well....you need all 12 or you're hitting "Busses....bank" just ot get to your vocal reverb return.
