Your record in major deployment is better than mine on like 10 music projects. How tight was that stuff managed?

Almost all of it locked down using Jamf Pro which made it easy to be honest!

Edit: I don’t think I answered the question - I only really made sure that standard software was installed, FileVault enabled. I didn’t have to restrict much of anything because it’s higher ed.

Nice! Jamf is what we use for Ipad deployment/management. Only one Mac mini to manage thank god

lol I got all the way to Jamf Expert certified and then bailed as soon as a position opened up that wasn’t customer facing 😂

Y’all probably have an idea but dealing with higher education faculty is a fuckin SLOG lol

During my undergraduate years, I worked in IT supporting mostly Unix systems for both the math and physics departments. I don't think anyone with a phd in math is truly sane, and while the physics professors and grad students were closer to human, that's on a relative basis only. There was some seriously crazy shit going on.

For me to get an equivalent Mac product to my PC, I'm looking at 4 grand. LOOOOOOOOLLLLLL

I'll stick with my M1 Pro and 5950X setups for a fair few years yet

Unless you’re gaming or doing 3D rendering, I don’t think anyone needs that kinda horsepower tbh. 16-32gb ram MacBook Air or Mac Mini will do the job - I had to prove that to a film professor who wouldn’t accept that an M1 iMac could compete with their i9 intel iMac Pro - and he admitted defeat lol

I semi agree. For a development machine doing machine learning, DSP, or other intensive tasks, all the juice you can get is a big help. At the same time if you're building plugins, you want access to modest machines too; otherwise you end up building shit that requires CERN to run!

Oh yeah I could see that too 💯
 
Just catching up on a few days posts.

Perhaps it’s because I had years of the Kemper display but I really like the pictures of amps and effects in the XL. And you can mostly run the unit with just the signal chain on (or the showcase screen etc) so it’s not like you’ve got to look at the picture all day if it’s (for reasons I can’t quite fathom) causing disproportionate levels of butt hurt.

The question is….. what picture will we get with Proxy amps / stomps? Maybe it would make sense to allow import of pictures for these otherwise the people who are upset by the current graphics will be doubly upset by looking at a sheep when adjusting parameters. And if custom pictures becomes a thing for proxy, I suppose it’s not beyond the realms of possibility to allow the built in amp and effects pictures to be overwritten by custom uploads?

I agree that ripple and hum are something I’m not playing with - I suppose they’re over way to the right so you have to scroll past the more usual controls to go there and, if they removed them? Someone, somewhere would complain you can tweak those on a Fractal and therefore stadium isn’t accurate. I do agree with adding bright caps where appropriate though.
 
Re: no scribble strips…
Does anyone have a link to good examples, pics, etc of the non XL version screen display that gives you the footswitch assignments when you are playing, (not command center when you are assigning them)?

I can’t find anything where they show and explain what kind of options for the layout you can have.
 
That looks good. Can you populate each square with any kind of ‘command/control’? Like mostly stomps on top but maybe have a midi command for external device in one of them….then mostly scenes on bottom but a one button looper down there as well?
