Regards to all.

You're really underestimating Pete Brown, the stated Microsoft manager for this project. With him on the case, a daunting project like this won't necessarily be built in a day, but he won't rest until it's right—kinda like how after some growing pains the new Windows MIDI 2 provisions aren't hanging anyone up anymore and just work. He's also tight with Steinberg. Sadly, neither Presonus nor Fender has shown the least inclination to work tightly with Microsoft or the MIDI Association. That's what I personally wouldn't hold my breath over.

I'm possibly missing something here, but the Harrison Flex-10 is ASIO compliant. What is this in relation to?

There's an Operating System level ASIO driver being worked on by Microsoft for Windows, so in theory you wouldn't need manufacturer drivers or ASIO4ALL. I think people are hoping it also includes the ability to route audio and offer aggregate devices as you can do on Mac OS.

Pete from MS is quite active on various forums on the subject, I see him posting a lot on Steinberg board for example.

I never mentioned Pete Brown so that's a bit off. My take, the MS machine is bit of a juggernaut, so he has my blessing and the midi 2 comment is a given.

Hiya Lokeyfly,

It's a windows Asio sound driver and or the chance to have what Apple call an aggregated device, which would allow the OP to have his channels work as he wants at the system (Windows) level, least I assume that's what he wants from reading the thread.

Kindest regards

Didn't say you did, but his name is right at the top of the image you posted. So it's not just some vague faceless team at an international conglomerate in charge of working on the Windows Asio driver, it's a gifted, dedicated human who's great at interfacing with other industry players and a musician himself driving the bus. And he's been exponentially more forthcoming (at Gearspace, to name one place to easily research him) about what Microsoft is up to to improve life for electronic musicians than anyone at Fender or Presonus.

Hey MisterE,

That article also had a greyed out statement noting no release date was set, it has been updated since I posted and now reads...

"There is no public release of the driver, yet. This section will be updated with the Windows Insider Build information once the driver preview ships in Windows.

Which was what I was referring to by "don't hold your breath".
You describe my opinion of Pete Brown as lacking and underestimated his tenacity, rather than asking why I might think it will not happen soon?
Please do not make assumptions about my comments, it is misleading and making the discussion about individual people, something I try to avoid!

I will cut a path out of here and you can carry on regardless.

Kindest regards.

Perhaps there's more than one possible interpretation of "don't hold your breath?" That phrase often suggests "it's never going to happen." Perhaps you'd allow for that? Regardless, this is hardly something I'm personally invested in, I'm not here to argue against the fact that big changes take time. Peace out.
