Question

Hi,

A lot of people in my community (and I) have been noticing that the main thing missing from the Revelator series of product is hardware control over levels, mutes and mixes.

The best way to do this would be for Presonus to release a nodeJS / Javascript control API or at least documentation about the protocol used by Universal Control to communicate with UC Surface.
So that control over the Revelators could be achieved on a Stream Deck, Loupedeck, MIDI Mixer and all other control surfaces and applications.

Please take this suggestion in serious consideration. It's really the weak point of the Revelator range of products at the moment and having an open approach, leading to multiple control solutions could really increase the popularity of said devices.

Answer 1

This would be awesome. I'm just so exited lmao

Answer 2

It's definitely needed !

Many people are looking for this API and there is nothing available !

Answer 3

This would add a lot of scope to device usage! :)

Answer 4

I would highly appriciate that too!

Answer 5

Operation with a Stream Deck would be really nice !

Answer 6

This could be a good workaround for an existing bug too! Currently the revelator sometimes loses its settings when the host PC reboots. This probably doesn't matter for streamers, but in a studio it's pretty annoying. Would love to hit a button on a midi control surface to recall my scene!

Answer 7

Sorry to bump an older post, but universal control is not very great, it keeps resetting on reboot all the time and because they're no external control you can't use MIDI/stream decks to control the faders. It's so nice to have the virtual audio devices, but having to use software faders to balance the level is really annoying.

Answer 8

Would be great if they implemented this using Open Sound Control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control

Many other big players in the realtime audio world use this. It is essentially the spiritual successor of MIDI.

A huge benefit of this is that it is very easy for third party implementations to access/control since the standard is known and there are lots of libraries to facilitate the communication.

Some notable examples:

• Beh****er digital consoles - and the 3rd party control app industry that has sprouted up
• DiGiCo digital consoles
• Ableton Live / Logic / REAPER / Digital Performer / Reaktor / Max/MSP / Processing / 
• OBS plugins that allow remote control via OSC
