Re: [Fairlight-CMI] IIX LCD screenshots...

2005-05-31 by kevin kelley

Crazy that you mention the foundation I have a
foundation 2000 with dancing fader mixer and have yet
to find a replacement. Nothing sounds as good and is
as easy to use. The interface you mention has long
time been the easiest to use interface I have seen. I
do not know why more manufacturers have not adopted
touch screen technology. there is a french company
that is going to be making a touchscreen controller
but it is not out yet looks promising.
