Just wondering...
Does the Platform M's buttons control "record enable", "solo", and "mute"?
Thanks!

They do. Its generally a good tool though clunkier with dp then w/other SW especially regarding the jog wheel functionality.
If anyone knows how to get the rotary controllers to adjust sends please chime in.

Re: Wanting a solid control surface for DP 9.5
I may have posted in this thread already, but, the most recent posts seem to be resorting to no great options being available. The Mackie MCU Pro works perfectly with DP7-10.3. I have the most recent version of the hardware. I haven’t used it on Big Sur yet, but, it’s been a solid performer. Faders are solid and are flying and works great with automation. Also, most of everything can be accessed pretty easily through the device.
It may be bigger than what you were looking for. I used to use Alphatrack before I bought the MCU. It worked great until it stopped being fully supported, but, the MCU has been almost spotless where Alphatrack was kind of spotty during the best of its days.
My only two gripes are that the LED gets a little light to read at times and that, due to the nature of the plugins themselves, EQ sometimes takes a little longer to use than I’d like (too many layers of control in most plugins).
I find that I don’t rely on the LED that much, so, not that much of problem.
