Control Surface with DP questions

Post by jumpin »

Hi,

I just started using an m-audio Project Mix I/O
as a firewire-based control surface with Digital Performer.
I'm liking it a lot but have a couple of question/concerns.
The plugin button (on the PMIO) only lets me change which plugin
is in a selected slot in DP but control their knobs/parameters etc.
Would this be typical of most control surfaces or is
it just the PMIO?

Also, I can only see the tracks in the software mixer that correspond
to the bank of 8 that is selected by the PMIO. I can understand this but personally would like to see all the tracks that can fit on my two monitors but be able to switch between banks of 8 for fader control
etc...

Is this configurable in DP or this typical for 8-fader
Control Surfaces?

Thanks,

Jon

Do both of these features/complaints exist in PT as well? I can live
with them but I'm just curious.

Thanks,
