A Long time request,or option to switch quickly to folow project or mixer… Not too much hope here too unfortunately yamaha/steiny do a feautre request/update for cc121
… Like in Reaper
There, in the CC121/Controller prefs, we can choose to follow the mixer or the project page track lists (this goes for the Faderport as well).
Yes, there are a CC121 hack for Reaper
Why is it so hard for Steinberg? Even with their own product?
It is a steinberg branded yamaha product. Yamaha is not a software company. You got what in the box when you buy it. If you want something else you buy something else.
Its seems yamaha/steiny wont invest any eforts to improve cc121/mr816 Line which came aprox 6 years ago!
During this 6 years thtey had some improvments(aside from driver update/compatibility )
Anyway that was not enough in my opinion and cc121 should be improved a little more,especially this issue where it wont follow Mixer. Its relativly not that cheap peice of hardware for one channel and really needs to be improved. Its even still selling on the market… Sooo…!!
With UR series seems steiny/yamaha do better job as to improvements from the initial release.
Drivers they need to maintain, at least while they are selling the product. I don’t see that they have made any changes in the software part since it was released. And that is typically Japanese business model. Im even quite sure that the software is not made by a yamaha employee, it is a consultant gig. The consultant is gone and nothing will ever happens to the product. And the steinberg people think it sucks (as the seems to think about all hardware for daw control) PreSonus is not Japanese nor a gigantic company as yamaha, they have to take all the market they can. A software driver is small part of the BOM and is a good way to increase volumes.
They definitely made changes to the software since release. THere have been some massive feature expansions for the CC121 that weren’t there at the time of release, like send level control and QC.
