Appealing to Steinberg to keep the CMC current viable?

Good catch! I forgot the almighty comma, but think your title is better thanks!

I’m trying to generate at least discussion,if not action (petition). If we just acquiesce we know what happens. The CMC controllers are great gear with a lot of potential. One of the biggest frustrations is the amount of time I’ve spent setting up the function keys, and getting a fluid working rhythmic method of use.
Sometimes the software - hardware “integration” which companies offer is a perpetual trap.
One can continue to use the hardware with whatever software versions support it. But at some version the hardware no longer functions. I’m not saying anything new I know. The investment in not just money but time,seems like water down the drain. Maybe we have to think of the hardware integration as short cycle monetary loss.

Any thoughts on this?
