http://www.solidstatelogic.com/music/nucleus announces:
"Compatible with [..], [..], [../..] and all major DAW applications."
It's not compatible with Ardour and Mixbus, which are certainly major
DAW applications :-) Booo.

No, no, their point is about the fact that it uses Mackie Control Protocol. Thanks to SSL I have totally revamped Ardour3's Mackie support and the surface itself works very, very, very nicely (especially with a direct ipMIDI connection into Ardour3's own ipMIDI support).

What's a shame (and what makes the purchase price even more absurd for Linux users) is that they used a proprietary USB audio stack. I'm trying to see if I can wedge it open with some gentle banter :)
