hopefully in 2015, the new upcoming cmc-like controllers will be a bit cheaper, will allow more customization, will have more buttons, and will have more functions (F1, F2, F3… buttons). the cmc-ai had all that free space on the top, that could have had 4 extra Function buttons. Again, the cmc-AI, with a simple Shift button, people would have 2 times more buttons, 2 times more Function buttons. all that, with a simple shift button.
also, the cmc-qc or cmc-ch, any of the rotary knobs could have worked like the big AI knob on the cmc-AI model, but hey, there had to be some reasons to buy the AI model. but because of this and that…
too bad the old cmc were designed so it always lacked this or that little feature/function, feature that would always be present on another model… and another model… and so on and so on.
i hesitate getting a cmc-tp now, or waiting a few months until the new cmc models come out. i would happily pay for a controller, that would have the AI + QC + CH + TP controls, on the same device. all buttons and everything would be in the same place, accessible, no need to have an usb hub, with all the controllers here and there.
can’t wait to see the first pictures of the new upcoming cmc devices
