Remote control MOTU from Logic 10.1 mixer?

Post by ibt »

The newly released Logic Pro 10.1 has this interesting new feature:
Mixer now allows remote control of microphone and other input settings for compatible audio interfaces
According to info posted on another forum, some brands of interface (eg RME) are allowing this remote controllability, but no controls are showing up in Logic's mixer for my MOTU (running the current drivers)

Is this something a MOTU driver update can address?

Apogee integrates with Logic pretty tightly - has for a long time now. DP integrates with MOTU devices, Pro Tools with AVID and so on... No surprises there.

This new functionality works with some class compliant interfaces (I have no idea which). Anything else requires drivers that support this feature in Logic.

MOTU devices are not class compliant and require drivers. These drivers would have to be rewritten. At this point, the best you can do is make a feature request at motu.com.

I have no idea if Apple has released a toolkit for this, if it requires licensing or if it would compromise other functionality. MOTU will have to gauge the market demand and proceed as they think best.
