I think you're lucky because the Compact version has few function buttons and no scrub/scroll/zoom controls compared to the full version or the One. I have the single fader One version and many of the buttons do not map correctly. DP has its own flavor of Mackie Control that is unsupported on the X-Touch series. I wish Motu would provide a standard layout version of the MC driver rather than the DP modified version. I've had better luck configuring the X-Touch One as HUI with DP, but have become frustrated and removed it from my rig as did seedylee.RobKaplowitz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 12:34 pm I've also ordered one of the their single-Fader versions - I'll report back if that works.
So, is the general take away at this point that there is no really good solution for a control surface with DP 9.5, or 10?... I am just coming to this now and it looks like this is the case. I would love to be wrong, just asking to see if I should bother with this before wasting time and money for no reason...CharlzS wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 1:13 pmI think you're lucky because the Compact version has few function buttons and no scrub/scroll/zoom controls compared to the full version or the One.

I think that depends on how much functionality you’re looking for in a control surface. If you’re just looking for faders, pan knobs and record, mute and solo buttons along with transport there’s a bunch of stuff out the that fits the bill and probably works well. When you go beyond that is where you bump up against limitations. The only thing I’ve run into that supports the DP template for the MCU is the Android control surface app TouchDAW. I have just fooled around with it running on a cheap Android tablet and got it working, but not used enough to endorse. There’s a lot of respect for Raven around here so you might want to engage those folks.sayatnova wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 1:07 pm

Thank you for any insight!

Forgot about that one - V-Control. That probably is the best tablet control surface app. I had the original version until my iPad fritzed. It pretty much covers it all. There's some sort of free version available: https://neyrinck.com/v-control-pro/applications/waterstrum wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:45 am I'm still using the old Neyrinck app in my iPad.
Works great!
Faders, pans, transport, markers etc.
Plus, it has an assignable window that can grab any of the DP panes.
Can give access to any floating window.
I haven't found anything that it lacks for my remote control needs.
Way more than good enough for recording acoustic guitars in the booth with no assistant.
Wish MOTU would make one.
