Absolutely - it's what the program was specifically written for.  Some test
users have tried it with other surfaces that implement the Mackie Control
Protocol, such as the Behringer BCF2000.  This seems to work as well as the
hardware's implementation of the protocol will allow.  In practise, the
BCF2000 works very well, as it doesn't do anything silly with the button
presses - the only limitations are imposed by the relatively small number of
buttons when compared to a real Mackie unit (though there are a lot of
combination presses, so it's a lot more capable than it might first appear).
Some very early builds were tested with the Tascam US2400 and there were
issues because this surface sends multiple mode button codes for each button
press, so the output was a little messy - I'm waiting to hear how the latest
build performs. 

Best wishes.

Hi.

Will this display reader work with the Mackie Control Universal Pro?
