I know there is no hope for using this thing as an audio interface (nor do I need it for such), but I'm wondering if it would be possible to use one of these as a 9-fader control surface for Cubase 8 on an up to date Mac Pro? I live about 30 minutes away from my DM-4800 and would like to have at least a motorized 8-fader bank for when I'm tweaking mixes at home. Most commercial solutions come with pretty silly prices ($300-1200, might as well buy another DM!) but I can pick one of these up for $100 locally. I noticed it has MIDI connections on the back- could it be as simple as plugging in a MIDI-USB cable and doing a bit of configuration? I have zero experience with this machine so please point out of I'm missing anything obvious, I just feel like this is way too cool of a machine to have reached EOL!
