Yeah.. Especially if a large chunk of that "over one million dollars" they
spent developing the Logic Control was Emagic's. 

However I'm hoping that if there's never an easy way to just "flash" a
Logic/Mackie control to make it behave like the other, Emagic can at least
write some sort of Mackie Control emulator, like they have the HUI emulator.
Since they sent out the same types of data exactly it shouldn't be that hard
for them to buy a M.C. and reverse engineer what they need to do to design
an emulator. 

I'm more interested in the fact that the M.C. will work with several sample
editors like Cool Edit Pro, probably Wavelab, hopefully SoundForge, etc,
than the fact that it would work with another sequencer as well... I hope
Emagic doesn't punish all of us who would like to use a LC with other
software just because the LC could then work with another sequencer. In the
end you'd still have to buy the hardware for Emagic so they shouldn't care.
On the other hand, if Mackie or Steinberg comes up with a LC emulator for
the MC first.... 

Karma's a bitch if you piss her off ;-)
