Screw it, the guy I was going to get the UC33e from raised the price to $179. I am no longer interested.

Hell, you can get it new for that much!

I was going to get it new with warranty for $165. Oh well.

If you get it from JRRSHOP you can get another 10% off the $179 (just type forum in the coupon code box)

OK, I just bought the UC33 and cancelled my BCR2000 order. $165 US with free shipping and no tax from eBay. It's not the 'e' model but I think I can deal, I don't believe it comes with a T2 template anyway

I just couldn't pass up the faders after all. Now I'll have a proper 'mixer' in T!

Faders are nice...

If you really feel the urge to "e" after a while, you can upgrade with a new motherboard, that's what I did...

What's the big difference?

Also, how is it size-wize compared to an Oxygen8, also how do the knobs compare? What color are your fader lights, I've read blue or green? Thanks!

Basically Sysex dumping, support for the Enigma programming utility, and a "mute" function where you first can make alterations on the controller, then send all changes to the controlled application instantaneously. Haven't used that one much myself though.

Heck, evolution explains this better than I:

Faders have green LEDs, by the way.

Hey, thanks pethu. I was hoping for blue faders but oh well

I don't really care too much then about the differences. So you have no comment about the size and knobs in relation to an Oxygen8?

Sorry, have only seen them in shops, and my memory is not that good!

I just checked the specs and the UC33 is about 10 cm less wide than the OX8, almost as deep and just about as high. Anyway, that'll work for me.

[quote="braj"]I really want to make up my mind but I'm having mixed feelings

I'd like to have faders

I have this one and at the moment I can only use faders and pan with T2 (fully working with Sonar 4), but I´m going to try Pethu`s way...It`s fully progamable and MIDI learn built in. What I really would like to control is the solo/mute functions.

Pethu, is that working with your system?

Nope, since there are no keyboard shortcuts for them, and they are not assignable to controllers via T2... I wonder if they are supported by the Mackie gear?

That´s a good question, if so, maybe using it in MCU mode we could find out what MIDI messages are sent...
