DL1608 Linux OS?

(1/2) > >>

Wynnd:
Seems I ran into that fact somewhere, so if it's Linux and Linux cornel was built be people over the internet with Linus Torvolds at its center.  Seems to me that someone might want to start a new interface for the DL1608.  (Possibly with an Android app too.)   Question that comes to me is, if a different controller interface was available for the DL1608,  How much would you be willing to spend if it was everything you wanted?  I'd spend $100.  Would you?

sam.spoons:
I doubt I'd pay $100, the app would have to be a huge step up from Master Fader to justify that sort of cost.

WK154:
I doubt that it would be about $ just like the Android app for the X32. But as long as Mackie is clandestine about their "special sauce" communications protocol nothing will happen.

Wynnd:
I'm pretty sure that just looking at the hardware and experimenting the necessary protocols could be figured out without intruding on your software license.  (After all, you're not trying to reverse engineer their software.  You're only building from scratch a new software controller.) 

WK154:
You would have to reverse engineer their communications protocol but no-one has had the inclination to do so AFAIK.
