Finally got the MCU to work - sorta - after upgrading to 8.04

now either the MCU or the MCU Xpander works or the channels are duplicated.

So at least some progression.
Analog is great... We got both WOW and Flutter - what's your bias?

Didn't it used to be that when you selected a track with the Physical Mackie Control and held it down, and then selected another nonadjacent track, it would select the two tracks, and all the tracks in between? I can't get mine to do that anymore..

Man, I sure hope they can get the MCU driver up to speed again with the next update!

Finally got the MCU and expander to work w DP8. I don't know about the group select, but I'll try that with DP7 to see if there is any difference.
I finally got the issue resolved after three hard resets of the MTP and then renaming the MTP.
