Access 828mk3 Built In DSP from DP?

Post by screws »

I just posted this question on the Motu Hardware Forum, but since it relates to DP I thought I'd put it up here as well. Hope that's OK.

Since the new 828mk3 and 896mk3 (and a couple other) interfaces now have built in DSP that can be accessed from CueMix, has anyone found a way to access those features (eq, comp/limit, fx) directly from DP, bypassing CueMix entirely?

Might be a nice, low-latency way to do live automated shows with just a laptop and an interface, rather than using plugins while routing live mics through DP for eq, compression and fx.

For live work, why not use CueMix? If you do, you will not be alone, I assure you.

I'd gladly use CueMix, but according to the Tech I contacted at MOTU, CueMix cannot be controlled from DP, and the whole point is I need to automate the eq, faders and fx in CueMix.

I hoped someone knew whether the onboard DSP in the newer MK3 i/o's could be accessed directly from DP so I could automate for a live, fully automated show.

Or is there a plugin that emulates OSC? TouchOSC is the only way to externally control CueMix at this time, according to the same Tech.
