Us-428 And Cubase 4.1, compatibility restrictions?? Options

[riket]

Hello everybody

I'm planning to purchase us-428.

Since Cubase 4.1 on an iMac 400 fills perfectly all my needs (until now) I prefer to stay on this very stable base (I have NO problem, compared to all I read in this forum). No doubt the iMac is not the ideal gear for audio, but I have it , so i'll keep using it for the moment. No doubt 5.xx has improvements on several points, but why to change a winning team?...

It's just that I'd like to get 1) a better sound quality in general, 2) some comfort from the remote controllers, 3) little improvement of cpu (ok someones say it doesn't help at all, someones say well, a little, we'll see). For points 1 & 2, there should be no bad surprise.

I read in the 428's manual that it's compatible with 8.6 (my OS) and 4.1. but they say that some functions are not available if not running a 5.xx.

1)Can somebody tell me what kind of controll wouldn't work?

2)Anyone of you had experience with 428 and 4.1 ? Or what kind of issues I could expect with that configuration?

I allready searched the forum for all the topics about 428, but no case matches my configuration. The reason of this post.

Thank you for any comment.

The good news is that Tascam designed the US428 with cubase in mind.

With 4.1. It should work by just installing the usb drivers. and setting up you audio and MIDI hareware. It should be a breeze

That us428 is so cubaseminded had captured my attention. One of the reasons I'm looking at it. I was just worried by their comments inside the french manual where they vaguely speek of some unavailable functions on 4.1... (nothing about it in the english manual...)
thanks for your reply sinthetik
