Kenton control Freak or Radikal SC2K?

[areptiledysfunction]

Anyone using either of these to control the Scope mixer? I see that they both advertize factory provided templates for Pulsar II.

[next to nothing]

i have the sac-2k, but i use it via USB connection, not pulsar midi and route it via cubase. i dont use it in pulsar-mode.
the flying ouch-sensitive faders are wonderful. nice features such as LEDs that displays what each fader is controlling automatically. when i fire up Battery in example, the leds displays what outputs it is controlling.

In Cubase i make a midi track called Scope Mixer. I then assign CCs etc by rightclicking on the mixerfaders etc.

i must admit, ive had it laying around for a bit, but since the last 5 months i havent been able to do much music for various reasons, so i might be wrong on some details.

Cant wait to get my rig up and running again

What a great idea! I wonder if this method would work with my Steiny Houston controller?

I've used the Kenton Control freak for a few years and it works fine. I use it all the time.

I didn't realise that they had templates for Scope though - do you have any further details?

Been using the Control Freak SE for several years now. Works great with Scope and quick to program with remote editor software. AFAIK the presets supplied with Control Freak are for an older version of Pulsar software, giving control of some 'big mixer' parameters.

yes, it should.

yes, it should.

Hmmm...so I would need to disable it in Cubase so it wouldn't be sending mixed messages.....

i'm not sure, but i think this may be the key to using the houston...

it's what's been going through my head anyway....my last reponse was probably a little over enthusiastic. i read the houston manual. i still think that the link will help though.

info on the midi device manager which will let you make a template to use in cubase that will output cc messages:

does the Control Freak have motorized faders? the sac-2k is way to expensive, and if you'd like to have the expansion, oh my good!

i was near to buy the tascam us-2400, but now, it's no more available... i'd like to have as much faders as possible, i hate switching between subgroups...

cheers

no, as far as I know. but if you wait a week, I can tell you exactly

i was near to buy the tascam us-2400, but now, it's no more available...

uh, that's sad. the recent price drop made me think somethink like that... well, it was still around 900 EUR, and for that you can get a bunch of bcf-2000 and... ahem, while we're at it... how do they perform? any hints?

No the Kontrol Freak doesn't have motorised faders
