As I recall, Vocalpoint has a mk2 and mk3.you can either message him, or he'll chime in. He has commented before and can fill you in as to those issues, or progress.
Yep, I was little gray on weather he reached some point where he was using what might have been good enough to open the mk3. Dunno. But he's the guy on having the latest on this. I wouldnt be able to hold out that long buying and not using something.
Thanks for helping chase this.
So yeah, as mentioned earlier, you can use any number of controllers. As to full functionality of the MkIii, best to observe any posts in the Presonus/Fender Questions, and add your concerns with your specific details.
Everyone should keep in mind that Vocalpoint in addition to being an active participant here is eqully active on the Native Instrument's Komplete Kontrol forum and has been contending with their controllers ever since KK mkII came out like 7 years ago. It may not be quite as simple for anyone else to attain "standard operating procedure" with a mkIII, mainly because FSP has not responded to the peculiarities of the mkIII series. That said, with all the managerial changes and financial instability revolving around NI, I can't completely blame Fender for not coming up with a handshaking procedure that may need to be superceded any time NI chnages the firmware on the KK.
Well I'd agree that Fender doesn't have a reasonable excuse for working out the kinks between FSP and other keyboard controllers like for instance the Keylab mkIII series from solvent company Arturia to name one of many that are underperforming with FSP, but I'd still contend the situation with NI insolvency or whatever form it's morphed into today is a little more dire to spend resources on. Glad VP finally found the KK mkIII usable though. Only took, what, three years? Nothing in geological time Oh wait, we're talkig about recording time...
Well then the good news I'd take away from that is it's a great time to buy one since future support is too iffy to justify previously outrageous pricing and sellers seems a good deal more flexible than they were before word got out about NI insolvency. And, to the best of my knowledge, although the mkIII is mostly knobless (except for essentials) and sliderless it still remains the only keyboard controller that displays the name of the program being played where you can't miss it. Head-scratching why they're the only company to figure this out.Yeah - it took a lot of patience to keep that thing in the box all that time
But then again - this DAW is used in a professional context with clients interjecting whenever they feel like it. So something like changing main controllers in the middle of a Tuesday has never been something I would do on a whim - AND doing this upgrade into the old build (prior to July 31) made little sense as that DAW build was a very long serviced Windows 10 layout that I finally had to put out to pasture.
Once I notified my clients and I had a week to make the move without pressure - it was time to uncork the MKIII and get it into rotation. I am very well aware of FSP not giving me access to the "fancy stuff" - but the transition was seamless once this full Win 11 rebuild was done.
Of course - it would be fab for Fender to get on with giving this DAW the full menu of integration that other DAWs now have - but I use the MKIII daily and even the "standard" integration is just as robust - if not more so - than the MKII ever was. I have zero complaints with my NI stuff within FSP v8.12.
