Any news on the contact you can share?

Do I understand you to be saying that the Android app is just needed to load code into the DL, and then we can go directly there with OSC? If so, is the code in the DL permament, or does it need to be loaded each boot?
If all you accomplished was to give me access to a hardware MIDI fader bank, with reasonable latency, I would be delighted. MF has all the functionality that I need. At least until it loses sync.

I'm familiar with a few of these but will dig deeper.
RE: contact... had a good conversation, now under NDA, so.. umm... cant really say! Thanks for the hook up!

What I'm saving is in a couple of hours I will be releasing the beta version :)
The major change in the release plan is that it will no longer be an android app. A more cross platform solution is in place as a jar file. It's freely downloadable, but actually getting the patch/my app requires $$.. Also means avoiding Google/Amazon's 30%.
Right now I've tested interfacing with TouchOSC and python on the rasPi with a hardware fader, some wires and a single capacitor. Also tested using perl. My iTunes account is on the fritz so I cant seem to grab a copy of Lemur right now, but I'm trying to work around that now. Cant post a video as I only have 2 camera devices, which both need to be filmed.. short of an intricate series of mirrors I cant see how to achieve that!
Untested, by should probably work out of the box:
Lemur
C++/C/Python/Perl/node.js/javascript/MaxMSP/puredata etc etc etc...
What I'm saving is that any OSC implementation can contorl the DL1608 now. Android, arduino, iPad, iPhone, Mac, Windows, Linux, RasPi. Could also do serial, but requires dissasembly. Heck, bluettoth could even work! Have some way outta left field ideas for a way to record, ultimately, unlimited channels in a novel way. Just need to find someone with a hell of a lot steadier soldering hand than me!
As I hope you can understand, there is a charge. I've decided to set this at $49.99. This will allow me to stop freelancing for a while to solely focus on the development of this. I can see some really cool things happening with this. Plus, it's a $1000 mixer.. what's another 5%? :)
Case in point, it took 20 minutes from idea to implementation for the raspi fader demo. (excluding the time it took to find the famn fader, which would make it 2 hours...)
The major thing NOT working in the v0.01b release is feedback/2 way comms. i,e, there are no signals back from the 1608 yet, so if you change something on the iPad, it will not be reflected in touchOSC etc. This is the next major feature, and will be released in v0.02 . This means it is not production ready, however I'm lloking for feedback and bug reports as at this point the code seems stable enough.
Support wise I will be watching these forums like a hawk.
Time to put on the coffee.. watch this space!

Check your PM.

Hmm... asking alpha testers to pay you 50 bucks for the privilege isn't likely to net you many...
