we are all different eh ??
for me i'm interested in compositional features.
and anything that helps to get a song idea down fast and trying different song ideas fast. without spending lots of money on adding software
onto reaper.

those mainstream control surfaces you talk of.
watch people scream in the future as the underlying puter technology and OS changes. i tell you mate its a quagmire.
if the circuitry in those CS's is no longer made..oops.

from a user standpoint who has never been involved in hardware
or software engineering...CS's look cute etc.
i fully understand.
but there are many downsides. future maintenance being one.
as well as upgradeability and future support.
ive been burnt in the past on custom circuitry like this..
n i swore never again.

i frankly doubtr haveing the eucon protocol would sway many big boys.
the ones ive talked to in the past are often very fixed in their viewpoints.
the problem with big exe's is source code control and
maintenance. bigger code set to maintain.
imho rpr could offer the moon n the stars , but a lot of big boys are very set in their ways.
