Will it use OSC (Open Sound Control)?

So I watched some of the videos. ... A lot of "they're still working on this, but...."
Do remember that video was recorded six months ago, and it looks like those things are now resolved.  The video's helpful, even despite its age, as it is the most informative thing around at the moment.

I think this offering is planned to be squarely in the middle of an entire line of consoles.  They'll pull a few features off and sell one at 20k [or lower.  HD96Core?].  And they'll make bigger surfaces/packages and sell them higher.


Can confirm, unofficially - I was told by someone no longer involved with the project that the plan is 3 frame sizes.

Thankfully we don't have to pay any subscription costs for things like firmware and software updates!

Shh!!!  Don't give them ideas!

I was told that all the digital engineering staff had been ‘let go’ save one...and he was working on synthesizers. So what kind of time frame are we looking at?

The engineering is presumably complete, it's a matter of if/when other sizes are released for production.

There is a lot of hype going on regarding the console that is actually not on the market.

Sure, it seems its packed with a lot of goodies, routing possibilities, effects, emulations, and even trying to go further with AI thing.

No clue about console stability, can't use the DL431 splitter rack, so gain sharing if you want to use it with another Midas...

Not a fan of their marketing/sales tactic, seems they are trying to sell as many as possible in preorder, like - it's exciting nobody has it, how can I get it? 😆 Hope it lives up to the hype....

Curious why you say it will not work with the DL431 active splitter rack.

Multiple sources and comments on various Midas Facebook groups, even the Midas spec sheet of features that was posted on the Heritage-D group lists only DL200 series and no 431.

But supposedly they are having a look at compatibility for the DL431, but it will have either Heritage-D or Pro mode, so you could not use it to have a Heritage-D at FOH and a Pro series console at monitors.
